Let Your
                   Light Shine

                                         Fourth Sunday of Easter
                                (Acts 4:8-12; 1 John 3:1-2; John 10:11-18)
  The Lord is my...—Most of us, if asked to finish the above title phrase, would say: Shepherd. We might
  even be surprised that today, often called “Good Shepherd Sunday,” we do not have the Twenty-third
  Psalm as our responsorial. However, while the Gospel focuses on Jesus as Shepherd, the other readings
  and the Psalm provide other images or titles.
  For example, Jesus is the stone rejected. St. Peter, continuing his discourse which we began reading last
  week, applies Psalm 118 to the people gathered around him in the Temple: “The stone rejected by you the
  builders,” reflecting the hostile relationship on the part of some of the people and their leaders.
  At La Salette, the Blessed Virgin gave examples of the ways in which her people had rejected her Son.
  Have we, personally, ever deserved her reproaches? As we contemplate the crucifix on her breast, do we
  hear Peter’s words, speaking of “Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified”? If so, let us approach
  the Lord with humble repentance.
  Jesus is the cornerstone, the foundation of our faith and of the Church. This image is very close to what
  we find in Psalm 18, where David calls the Lord “my strength, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.” Here
  we stand before our God in a relationship of trust.
  It is the same with the Good Shepherd, of course, even though sometimes we are tempted by pride to
  strike out on our own, and finding only the sinful path by ourselves. Since we would never want the
  Shepherd to abandon us—remember Mary’s words, “If I want my Son not to abandon you”—why would
  we ever abandon him? We need him to guide us, to nourish us (especially in the Eucharist), to protect us.
  Stone rejected, Cornerstone, Good Shepherd: see how these are not just names but relationships with God
  the Son.
  Some might say, “The Lord is my friend,” not as an equal, of course, but as one who truly cares about us.
  This is part of the La Salette message.
  Think about it. Who is Jesus for you? Who are you for him? Most importantly, do you feel how deeply
  you are loved? And do you respond in kind?
  Wayne Vanasse, and Fr. René Butler, M.S.

                                                  REFLEXION
                                                El Señor es mi…
                   Cuarto Domingo de Pascua: Hechos 4:8‐12; 1 Juan 3:1‐2; Juan 10:11‐18
La mayoría de nosotros, si se nos pidiera terminar la frase del tulo, diríamos: Pastor. Pudiera sorprendernos
el hecho de que hoy, a menudo llamado “Domingo del Buen Pastor”, no tengamos el Salmo vein trés como
nuestro responsorial. Sin embargo, mientras el Evangelio se enfoca sobre Jesús como el buen Pastor, las
otras lecturas y el Salmo proveen otras imágenes o tulos.
Por ejemplo, Jesús es la piedra rechazada. San Pedro, con nuando su discurso, el que había comenzado la
semana pasada, aplica el Salmo 118 al pueblo reunido en torno a él en el Templo: “la piedra que ustedes, los
constructores, han rechazado”, reflejando la relación hos l de parte de algunos del pueblo y de sus líderes.
En La Sale e, la San sima Virgen dio ejemplos de cómo su pueblo había rechazado a su Hijo. ¿Hemos sido
nosotros, personalmente, merecedores de sus reproches? Al contemplar el crucifijo sobre su pecho,
¿escuchamos las palabras de San Pedro, hablando de “Jesucristo de Nazaret, al que ustedes crucificaron”? Si
es así, acerquémonos al Señor con humilde arrepen miento.
Jesús es la piedra angular, el cimiento de nuestra fe y de la fe de la Iglesia. Esta imagen es muy cercana a lo
que encontramos en el Salmo 18, donde David llama al Señor “mi fuerza, mi Roca, mi fortaleza y mi liberta‐
dor”. Henos aquí, frente a nuestro Dios en una relación de confianza.
Ocurre lo mismo con el Buen Pastor, por supuesto, aunque a veces el orgullo nos enta querer caminar por
nuestra cuenta y resulta que nos encontramos andando la senda del pecado por nosotros mismos. Ya que
queremos que el Pastor nunca nos abandone – hay que recordar las palabras de María, “Si quiero que mi
Hijo no los abandone” ¿por qué entonces nosotros lo abandonaríamos? Necesitamos que nos guíe, que nos
nutra (especialmente en la Eucaris a), que nos proteja.
Piedra rechazada, Piedra Angular, Buen Pastor: vemos que no son sólo nombres sino relaciones con Dios Hi‐
jo.
Algunos podrán decir, “El Señor es mi amigo”, no como un igual, por supuesto, sino como aquel que verda‐
deramente se interesa por nosotros. Eso forma parte del mensaje de La Sale e.
Pensémoslo. ¿Quién es Jesús para ? ¿Quién eres tú para él? Más importante aún. ¿Sientes cuán profunda‐
mente eres amado? Y ¿respondes de la misma manera?

FIESTA DE LA FE
Segunda Lectura
Mientras que en la Misa Dominical la primera lectura siempre está relacionada con el Evangelio, la segunda
lectura sigue su propio ritmo. Aun así, sin forzar la situación, parece obvia la vinculación o relación que ésta
tiene con las demás lecturas. La segunda lectura está tomada de los escritos paulinos o de otros escritos apos-
tólicos. La selección de las mismas durante los tiempos litúrgicos específicos es sumamente cuidadosa. A lo
largo del Tiempo Ordinario, siguen su propio ritmo y gran parte de la relación de esta lectura con las demás,
depende de la creatividad del homilista. Puesto que es una lectura diferente, se sugiere siempre un proclama-
dor o proclamadora distinto a quien proclamó la primera lectura. La asamblea litúrgica es capaz en sí misma
de captar que es un mensaje distinto, más no por eso, es ajeno a la centralidad del Evangelio. Durante el Ciclo
Dominical A, la proclamación de la segunda lectura inicia con la 1 Corintios, Romanos, Filipenses y Tesalo-
nicenses; El Ciclo Dominical B: 1 Corintios 6 – 11, 2 Corintios, Efesios, Santiago y Hebreos 2 – 10; el Ciclo
Dominical C: 1 Corintios 12 – 15, Gálatas, Colosenses, Hebreos, Filemón, 1 Timoteo, 2 Timoteo y 2 Tesalo-
nicenses.        ——Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
