SAVED BY THE ONE WHO WAS REJECTED Some city teenagers often scorn and reject farm kids. Yet it’s no exaggeration to say that humanity owes its life to farmers who care for the world’s crops and livestock. This week’s scriptures remind us that Jesus was as rejected as a shepherd, a farm boy, yet we owe our very lives to him. In this Sunday’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles Peter tells the people that salvation comes through Jesus Christ, the one who was rejected. In John’s letter we hear that we have become God’s be-loved children through Jesus, whom the world did not know. Lastly, in the Gospel Jesus describes himself as the Good Shepherd who “lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11). Will you join Jesus in laying down your life for God’s beloved flock?

SALVADOS POR AQUEL QUE FUE RECHAZADO Algunos adolescentes de la ciudad suelen menospre-ciar y rechazar a los chicos del campo. Sin embargo, no sería una exageración decir que la humanidad les debe la vida a los agricultores que cuidan los cultivos y el ganado por todo el mundo. La Sagrada Escritura para esta semana nos recuerda que Jesús fue rechazado como pastor, como chico del campo, sin embargo, a él le debemos la vida. En la lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles de este domingo, Pedro les dice a las personas que la salvación viene por Jesucristo, que fue rechazado y crucificado. En la carta del apóstol san Juan escuchamos que nos hemos convertido en los hijos amados de Dios por Jesús, a quien el mundo no conoció. Por último, en el Evangelio Jesús se describe como el buen Pastor: “yo doy la vida por las ove-jas” (Juan 10:11). ¿Te unirás a Jesús para dar tu vida por el rebaño amado de Dios? Copyright © J. S.

Page 10 Weekly Event Calendar & Weekend Collections April 22, 2018

Use Your Envelopes or use On-Line Giving We encourage everyone to use their envelopes or On Line Giving. Think of your envelopes or on-line giving as a gift to God. You take the time to thoughtfully, prayerfully choose your gift, wrap it and present it eagerly to our Lord. Many times families will ask for a letter stating that they are registered, participating members of San Sebastian in order to become a Godparent, Confirmation Sponsor or simply to enroll in Catholic Schools. Using your envelope or Online Giving makes our job easier and allows us to say “Yes! this family is registered & participating here at San Sebastian. “

Ways to Help the Needy in our Community

There is an urgent need for volunteers to distribute the Eucharist to parishioners who are homebound & also Catholic residents of some local nursing homes and rehab centers. This is a very rewarding ministry that would involve leading a brief communion service for nursing home residents gathered for the ser-vice, & bringing communion individually to those residents unable to a end the service. You do not

have to be a Eucharis c Minister for the regular Masses to qualify for this service. Training will be provided. There is also a need of assistance for our priests & deacons who say Masses at nursing homes. If able to help with any of these ministries contact Jenene Karamon 501-9912/ jenenekaramon@yahoo.com
