The United States bishops teach that the death penalty is morally wrong. If you have theological convictions or moral reservations about the use of the death penalty in our legal system, you are invited to a public ecumenical prayer vigil during the approximate time of the actual execution. During this time we pray for the victim of the crime, the accused, their families, and those who carry out the execution. The vigil is held from 5:45-6:15pm, at the corner of 15th St. & University Ave. across from TTU in front of St. John’s UMC. Call parishioner Anne Cochran if you have questions (795-9745). Vatican City, 5 March 2014 (VIS) – Pope Francis sent a message to the faithful in Brazil on the occasion of the annual Lenten “Fraternity Campaign”, which this year takes on the theme of “Brotherhood and human trafficking”, and whose slogan will be “For freedom Christ has set us free”. “It is not possible to remain indifferent before the knowledge that human beings are bought and sold like goods! I think of the adoption of children for the extraction of their organs, of woman deceived and obliged to prostitute themselves, of workers exploited and denied rights or a voice, and so on. And this is human trafficking. 'It is precisely on this level that we need to make a good examination of conscience: how many times have we permitted a human being to be seen as an object, to be put on show in order to sell a product or to satisfy an immoral desire? The human person ought never to be sold or bought as if he or she were a commodity. Whoever uses human persons in this way and exploits them, even if indirectly, becomes an accomplice of this injustice'. Moving on to the family level, entering into the home, how often do we see that even there, often there is abuse. Parents who enslave their children, children who enslave their parents; married couples who, forgetting their duty in receiving this gift, exploit one another as if they were products for consumption, disposable products; the elderly ,without a place in society and children and adolescents without a voice. How many attacks to the basic values of the fabric of family life and social coexistence. Yes, there is a need to profoundly examine our consciences. How can one proclaim the joy of Easter, without lending support to those who are denied their freedom on this earth?” He continues, “Be sure: if I offend the human dignity of others, it is because I have previously divested myself of my own. And why have I done this? For power, fame, material goods … in exchange for my dignity as a son or daughter of God, whose salvation comes at the price of Christ's blood on the Cross and is guaranteed by the Holy Spirit who calls inside us, 'Abba, father!'. Human dignity is the same for all human beings; if I trample that of another, I also trample my own. Christ freed us so that we might live free in freedom! … I hope that Christians and persons of good faith may make efforts to ensure that men, women, young people or children may never more be victims of human trafficking. It is the most effective foundation for re-establishing human dignity and proclaiming Christ's Gospel in towns and country, because Jesus wishes to sow life in abundance everywhere”, concludes the Holy Father.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER GREETERS & USHERS SATURDAY MAY 16 — 5:30 Daisy Castillo Allene Schwertner Travis Schwertner Barbi Austin Colby Sandoval SUNDAY THAT’S NOT ME I will never forget my very first day of school. In those days, class sizes in Catholic grammar schools were quite large; my first grade class had fifty-two students. Our teacher made large name tags for each of us to wear that first day. Unfortunately, my name tag read “Edward Gallagher.” This is not my name. When I saw this, I tried to protest, “Sister, that’s not my . . . ” She immediately responded, “Now, Edward, there will be no talking back to Sister.” I tried again, “But Sister . . .” Her hands more than full with fifty-two of us, there apparently just wasn’t time for this conversation. So, I went through my first day of school named someone I was not. I will never forget my mother’s face as she stood on the front porch ready to welcome her first-born son home from his first day of school. She took one look at “Edward Gallagher,” frowned, and immediately went to the phone to straighten things out with the school. CALLED BY NAME This early life experience taught me much about the value and importance of my name. In today’s Gospel we hear the Lord Jesus tell his followers that sheep learn to recognize the voice of the shepherd. They will not follow a stranger’s voice. In the Rite of Baptism, the very first question put to the parents is, “What name do you give your child?” And just before the words “I baptize you . . .” the priest or deacon calls the one to be baptized by name. In a sense, we learn to hear our name called by God from the moment of our rebirth in the waters of baptism. This is the root of all vocational calls, whether to marriage, holy orders, or the consecrated life. On a day when we remember that Jesus is our caring shepherd, let us listen once again to the Lord calling us each by name into loving service.
