April 26, 2015 4th Sunday of Easter
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
This Fourth Sunday of Easter is traditionally referred to as “Good Shepherd Sunday.” Today we listen to the words
of the Lord as he refers to himself as the “good shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep.” It is sometimes so difficult for us to grasp the reality that anyone would lay down his or her own life for the sake of someone else. This is especially true in a society that places high value on power and personal advancement, often at the cost of “trampling” on
other people in order to climb the ladder. Today’s scriptures point to the one we are called to emulate—the one who lays
down his life for his sheep. Today’s scriptures challenge us to discover ways to bring life to those around us—to build
up rather than to tear down. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — There is no salvation through anyone else (Acts 4:8-12).
Psalm — The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone (Psalm 118).
Second Reading — See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God (1 John 3:1-2).
Gospel — The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep (John 10:11-18).

EL BUEN PASTOR
El Cuarto Domingo de Pascua tradicionalmente se conoce como el “Domingo del Buen Pastor”. Hoy escuchamos
las palabras del Señor cuando se llama a sí mismo “el buen pastor que da la vida por sus ovejas.” A veces es tan difícil
para nosotros comprender la realidad de que alguien esté dispuesto a dar su vida por alguien. Esto es muy cierto en
una sociedad que pone tanto énfasis en el poder y en el avance social, con frecuencia a expensas de “pisotear” a otra
gente para escalar a la cima. Las Escrituras de hoy nos muestran a quién debemos imitar –al que da su vida por las
ovejas. Las Escrituras de hoy nos retan a descubrir la manera de llevar vida a los que están a nuestro alrededor –a

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Many of our customs surrounding critical illness
come from antiquity, and yet attitudes have certainly
changed. Death was an all too-familiar presence then, and
people tended to see it as a natural and unavoidable part
of life, not a personal catastrophe. People tried to review
their lives, settle their affairs, say farewell to their dear
ones, and welcome the deathbed vigils and prayers that
assured them of God’s love and forgiveness. What people
most feared was sudden death. It was dreaded and never
discussed.
The faithful filled the catacombs with consoling images of the good shepherd carrying the sheep to safe pasture, or the faithful in glory seated at banquet tables. The
prayer texts from the time are consoling and positive, and
many inspired our modern prayers. The care of the dying
flowed directly from Roman pagan practice; it was home
based and family centered. Pagans didn’t especially fear
death, but they were terrified by the dead. Christians, on
the other hand, consoled their sick with psalms of joy and
faith in the Resurrection. The goal was to assure the sick
person of God’s love, and that the ties that bind the dead
and the living would endure.
