ST. BONIFACE CATHOLIC CHURCH Fi | Ho it i | Si APRIL 25, 2021: FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER “I will lay down my life for the sheep” Mission (John 10:15) “To encounter Jesus and to become the joy of the As I reflect on the self-sacrificing love and service of the Good Shepherd, I am Gospel” reminded of a mother who gives herself away to her children, grandchildren, and friends. I know that she can afford luxury goods of self-care, but I know that she MASS finds joy in giving of herself in love for the wellbeing of those around her. Weekdays: I know that there are many mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, neighbors, Tuesday at 5:30 PM parishioners, and citizens who resemble the heart of this mother. If there were not, Wednesday through Friday we would not desire to share the more that we want to share in our love and at 8:00 AM service, nor the world will continue to remain a beautiful place. It is the reflections of such hearts that continue to challenge us to give ourselves away even when we Weekend: may want to or choose to remain locked in our measured love for others. Online: 4:00 PM Saturday: 5:00 PM The shepherding hinges upon this single act: self-sacrificial love. The Good Sunday: Shepherd reveals how this love unfolds in His ministry. The blind is drawn to see, 8:30 AM & 10:30 AM the deaf is able to hear, the crippled is helped to walk, the sinner experiences forgiveness, the hungry is filled with good things, the wounded is bandaged for Confession healing and restoration, the accused is freed for love and goodness, the thirsty is Tuesday through offered the taste of eternal life, and the lost are found in His love. When these signs are accompanied by intimate knowledge and mutual communion, the sheep Saturday: never strays away but remains faithful to the Good Shepherd. 4 — 5 PM As a priest, I want my heart to resemble the heart of my Savior. This is the _______ commitment I made 27 years ago. I want to become the comforting presence that St. Boniface livestreams the Good Shepherd is to all of us every day. As we journey through this week, may Weekday Mass and broadcasts our hearts be transformed to give ourselves away for others!
