One Final Thought “Life is the greatest gi that God has bestowed on human beings. Since human life is created in the Scriptural Reflection for the Week image of God, it belongs to Him. We have no right to “Jesus said: ‘My sheep hear my voice. I know them and they destroy it.” follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.’” (see John 10:27-30) Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. Every Fourth Sunday of the Easter Season is so called because the Gospel of this Sunday is about Jesus’ iden ty as the Shepherd of Souls. Jesus used the images of His day that people could easily LIVING STEWARDSHIP relate to. The image of the Shepherd is such a one. Everyone would understand just how important a good shepherd was in Reflec on order to protect the sheep of his flock. The rela onship of one to In today’s first reading, we see Paul and Barnabas the other was vital. The shepherd knew his sheep and the sheep preaching to both the Jews and the Gen les. We recognized the voice of their shepherd. Jesus, our Good should reflect on and give thanks to God for those Shepherd, has a voice which speaks to our conscience and our individuals who have passed the faith on to us— heart. Not to hear His dis nc ve voice means something is our parents, a catechist, a good friend, our parish wrong with us. Not to recognize His voice above the din and priest. While thanking God for those special noise that surrounds us at mes means we are in trouble. Could people, become an evangelizer yourself to those it be that this is the case due to our self-centeredness and around you! mediocrity? Certainly! This Good Shepherd not only protects the Living Stewardship flock but offers us eternal life. Does this fact produce a yawn The readings today remind us that as Chris ans from you? It does for many people today even though everyone we are all brothers and sisters. Let us pray for all claims to want to live forever. They really mean they want to live of Chris an brothers and sisters who are facing forever for themselves! Very few people today want to live persecu on as well as our newly formed brothers forever with God. If we truly desire eternal life with God we will and sisters who were bap zed this past Easter obey Jesus’ voice. If we desire only eternal life for ourselves Vigil. where we are the “god” we will claim that we don’t hear the Good Shepherd’s voice and therefore don’t follow Him.

Figliozzi Reflection by Saverio Grosso Listen Closely
n the fourth Sunday of Easter in each of the three O lectionary cycles the Gospel is taken from the tenth chapter of the Gospel of John. While our Gospel is short, to fully grasp its meaning it is important to understand the context of what happened both before and after it. This chapter follows Jesus' healing of the man born blind and the rejection of this miracle by Jewish leaders who question Jesus' authority to heal. It is a moment of tension and conflict – “If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” (Jn 10:24) – and, in response to their challenge, Jesus asserts his unity with the Father and calls himself the Good Shepherd. The lines following our Gospel show how much they were angered and their attempt to stone and arrest Jesus (Jn 10:31 and 10:39). Why would they be so upset at this analogy? His words criticize the Pharisees and other Jewish leaders essentially saying you study God’s Word, but don’t recognize Him in my actions. He escapes but this controversy with the religious leaders will continue until Jesus' death. Today's Gospel speaks to the relationship between Jesus and the Father. Jesus identifies so closely with the Father that He tells us that they are not just close, but actually one! Therefore, to know Jesus is to know the Father. Listening to Jesus puts us directly into contact with Please join us in praying God the Father.

However, the image (St. Catherine of Sienna) of God as a Shepherd is ancient and powerful, and the image of May 18th (St. Vincent de Paul) Jesus as the Good Shepherd caring for His followers (as His sheep) has endured over the centuries. This beautiful metaphor of our faith (We are praying a Novena for nine consecutive Sundays) community speaks to us about the protection, security, and care that Prayer to the Holy Spirit shepherds represent for their sheep. People of almost every culture have been consoled by this image and have prayed with all their hearts: O Holy Spirit, soul of my soul, I adore you. "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want" (Ps 23:1). Jesus uses this Enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me. metaphor to assure us that we are protected by the Father’s love. Tell me what I ought to do and command me to do it. Jesus promises to shepherd His people into eternal life if I promise to be submissive in everything you ask of me we, the sheep, “hear” and “follow” Him. These two words sum up the and to accept all that you permit to happen to me, appropriate human response to the great gift He has won for us through only show me what is Your holy will.

MAY - MONTH OF MARY Catholics dedicate the month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary. May is always part of the Easter Season, fifty days of celebrating the Resurrection of Our Lord; and a season we wait for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
Last week we asked do you remember singing the hymn — “Mary we crown thee with blossoms today, Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.” Some have responded they now can’t get the hymn out of their head! This week’s question: How many houses have you passed in Franklin Square and beyond last month or this month that have a statue of Mary in the front yard? Mary is known to people around the world as the Mother of God, Mother of Jesus Christ and Mother of our Savior; how many other titles does she have? She is the Patron of Americas and Mother to us all. Continue to pray to her this month.
Join us following 9:30AM Mass Sunday, May 19, Crowning of Mary with a procession led by our First Communicants to grotto in front of Rectory for prayer and crowning (weather permitting, otherwise held indoors).
Take time this month to stop and offer prayer in front of one of our beautiful statues found in our Church, the Sienna Center, our Parish Activity Complex and outside around our parish property. Ask Mary to intercede for us with her Son Jesus in thanksgiving for all mothers and children here and throughout the world!

However, embracing the Lord’s promise, the Pope said, demands the courage to risk making a decision, of putting ourselves on the line and facing a great challenge. Leaving behind the security of our little boat that prevents us from making a definitive choice, he said, we are called to be bold and decisive in seeking God’s plan for our lives, trusting in the Lord’s promise.
