Este domingo debe ayudarnos a reflexionar sobre las miles de voces que escuchamos a diario. Voces comerciales que nos ofrecen productos para comprar aunque no necesitemos nada de lo que ofrecen. Voces de pastores falsos que nos enredan prometiéndonos salud, bienestar y riqueza. Voces de amistades que nos conducen por el mal camino. ¿Qué voces escuchas tú? ¿A cuales les haces caso? La liturgia de hoy es hermosa pues nos ayuda a escuchar la verdadera voz a la que debemos seguir sin titubear. El conocimiento que nos lleva a Jesús el Buen Pastor debe ser el del amor. Sus ovejas escuchan su voz y lo siguen. Los relatos de los Evangelios nos lo demuestran con cada milagro que el hacía y la respuesta que daba el que lo recibía. "Mis ovejas escuchan mi voz; yo las conozco y ellas me siguen. Yo les doy la vida eterna" (Jn 10, 27-28). Éste es el regalo del Resucitado para cada oveja que lo siga al oír su voz. ¡La vida eterna! Buen recordatorio por si ya olvido que seguimos celebrando la Pascua. Aún es tiempo para que se tenga la experiencia de un encuentro vivo con el Señor. Todo lo que hacemos para hacer el bien debe de partir de haber escuchado, de haber tenido un encuentro personal e íntimo con Jesús resucitado. Y de creer en él en todo tiempo y en cada circunstancia de la vida. El reto es no ser ovejas a medias sino completas --toda la persona-- sin fragmentos. Se trata de escuchar, de hacer caso, de no poner en saco roto sus enseñanzas. ¿Por qué no le pedimos hoy su ayuda para dar el cambio? LPI, Inc.

4o Domingo de Pascua

"Jesus said, 'My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me." How blessed we are to be the "sheep" of such a Good Shepherd! Jesus promises that "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish." When we follow the voice of our Shepherd, he leads us exactly where we want to go. But, of course, it's up to us to make sure that we recognize this voice. In today's culture, many voices are competing for our attention. The voice of the media is a loud one, entering our homes and families through television, the

Internet, print materials, and so on. We are also more and more a culture whose ears are literally filled with the voices of our favorite singers and the sounds of our personal playlists--the sight of people marching through their day with earphones blocking out other sounds is now a common sight. All of this has its appropriate place. We simply need to be sure that we don't allow these voices to become the primary ones in our lives. To hear the voice of Jesus, we need to encounter his word in the Bible where he speaks to us loud and clear. We need to fill our ears with the message of the Gospel, to listen attentively to the prayers and preaching at Mass, and to "tune in" to the teaching of the Church and of the Holy Father, which is easily available to anyone these days through those same media outlets mentioned above. All of these things will help us to stay close to our Shepherd, and to avoid going astray into regions where we might get lost in spite of ourselves. Jesus promises of those who hear his voice and follow him that, "No one can take them out of my hand." When we stay near the Lord, we can rest assured that he will fulfill his promises. LPI, Inc.

Often people attend Mass at All Souls for several years, but never register. Registering here is a declaration of your desire to be part of a Catholic community and to make a commitment to the life of All Souls Church. Being a registered

parishioner makes the process much easier when it is time for infant baptism, school or religious education registration, weddings, when asked to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and even funerals. A registered parishioner receives all parish mailings, too. Church law advises that territories or boundaries no longer limit parish registration. All Souls accepts anyone who wants to share in the life of the parish regardless of where they live. In order to register, you need to complete a registration card. These may be found in the narthex of the church or chapel, the parish office during the week or online at our parish website: www.allsoulssanford.org. Why not sign up today?

Let us remember the truly remarkable priests who have impacted our lives and especially those deceased priests of the Diocese of Orlando. Let us pray during this month of April for the repose of the soul of:

April 8, 2008 Rev. William A. Gunther April 12, 2005 Rev. Jose Luis Meza April 19, 2002 Rev. Louis J. Gonter April 21, 2002 †Most Rev. Thomas Grady

April 28, 1985 Msgr. Luis Maria Padilla April 29, 2014 Msgr. Terrence J. Farrelly Prayer for our Deceased Priests: O God, you raised your servants, to the sacred priesthood of Jesus Christ, according to the Order of Melchisedech, giving them the sublime power to offer the Eternal Sacrifice, to bring the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ down upon the altar, and to absolve the sins of men in your own Holy Name. We beseech you to reward their faithfulness and to forget their faults, admitting them speedily into your holy Presence, there to enjoy forever the recompense of their labors. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Remembering our deceased diocesan priests

All are welcome here... If you are alienated or upset, we welcome you lovingly. If you are in need of forgiveness, Jesus forgives you completely—with unconditional love. If you have been hurt by the Church, we are truly sorry. If you are angry, Jesus offers you peace. If life has become burdensome, we are here to support you. We are happy you are here and want you to stay. We would like to share our lives with you. Come join us each week so we can worship God together.
