From Fr. JimThe Easter Season: Good Shepherd Sunday
and World Day of Prayer for VocationsEvery year we hear from John’s Gospel about Jesus as the shepherd or the sheep gate on the Fourth Sunday of Easter. Today, the Gospel proclaims, “My sheep hear my
voice; I know them, and they follow me.” Think about the people whose voices you recognize and what feelings are stirred within you when you hear that person’s voice. In one of the Resurrection appearances it wasn’t until Jesus, who looked like the gardener, called Mary Magdalene’s name that she recognized him. Today we pray for vocations to the ordained priesthood, diaconate and religious life. Today is the 53rd Annual World Day of Prayer for Vocations.St. Francis de Sales taught that “My deepest vocation is to be a witness to the glimpses of God I’ve been allowed to catch.” Certainly priests, deacons and women and men in the religious life share those glimpses because we have heard the shepherd’s voice. Have you heard God’s invitation to consider following the Lord and witnessing your glimpses of God in one of these lifestyles? All the baptized, whether single or married, lay or religious, are called to holiness, to share those glimpses of God we’ve been allowed to catch. How will you be a witness to the Good Shepherd today? How do you hear his voice? How will you respond? Please pray for vocations to priesthood, diaconate and the religious life. Also pray for those whose vocation is marriage. May God help all of us hear the shepherd’s voice, witness the Good Shepherd in our lives, and get close enough to Jesus and one another to smell like the sheep and the Good Shepherd.
Adoration for Vocations is usually held on the first Sunday of the month. However, this will NOT occur during 2016. The parish has Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on the first Friday of the month of 2016 in association with the Year of Mercy. Those who come to pray for vocations are encouraged to come pray for vocations during the first Friday exposition. Any questions please call Dermott Mullan at 410-398-03368.

Liturgy
Readings for Next Week - Fifth Sunday of Easter:First Reading: Acts 14:21-27Paul and Barnabas traveled to many towns and found many disciples willing to help them preach. They warned their disciples of the trials they would face. Paul and Barnabas then returned to Antioch, where their journey had begun, and told the congregation there of the progress they had made.
Second Reading: Revelation 21:1-5aJohn had a vision of a new earth, and a new Jerusalem coming down from heaven. Then a voice described Jerusalem as a place where God would live among his people and comfort them. The former world had vanished, and pain, death and suffering had left the world as well.
Gospel: John 13:31-33a, 34-35After Judas left the last supper, Jesus warned the other disciples that he would not be with them much longer. Jesus gave them a new commandment to love one another as he had loved them. He stated that their love for each other would distinguish them as his disciples.
Pope Francis Year of Mercy Quote of the WeekOn this Fourth Sunday of Easter, “Good Shepherd Sunday,” I am reminded of Pope Francis’ words to theologians in a letter he wrote on March 3, 2015: "The good theologians, like the good shepherds, smell of the people and of the road and, with their reflection, pour oil and wine on the wounds of humankind.” He states this consistent theme of his Papacy in a number of ways: “From the Gospel narratives we are able to understand the closeness, the goodness, the tenderness with which Jesus drew in the suffering people and consoled them, comforted them, and often healed them. By our Teacher’s example, we too are called to draw near, to share the conditions of the people we meet.” (Address, June 14, 2014)

In a familiar Gospel reading this week we hear a new commandment; “Love one another.” Bring It Home this week by brainstorming many ways family members can follow this commandment. Write each idea down on a slip of paper. Put the papers in a jar or basket. Each day this week
choose a slip and do it. Can you feel the difference when everyone is consciously loving each other?
