Pg 2 Pastor’s Note ~ 4th Sunday of Easter 2021

“My Sheep hear my voice. I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life. They shall never perish.” John 10: 27ff What about those who don’t hear? Who walk away after Jesus gives this assurance? One of the saddest sayings in the gos- pels: “those who walk away”, “and Jesus wept.” Times of doubt and questioning. Jesus weeps compassion and lack of faith.

We all have family members who have walked away. Like Je- sus, we weep. We pray, we encourage, we invite. Jesus did the same. Remember that on Good Friday 11 of the 12 cho- sen apostles walked away. How many times? many! did he appear to them after the resurrection to pray with him, to encourage them, and to invite them! That’s Mother Church!

What part of Jesus’ words today don’t resonate with us? What would we rather hear? What signs would we rather have as proof of what He and the Father offer? How many atheists and agnostics are there who want more reasoned proofs before they will succumb to the love of God. Because the language of the Easter Good Shepherd is a language of love.

Today, there are many “faith rattling events.” We can all probably name at least a few. In the Church; in our families; in politics; on our streets; in world events; natural disasters. Some events might be very personal and others we bear witness to from the comfort of our homes. In today’s reading, my hope comes from the evangelist's explanation that Jesus, the eternal Son of God, is in perfect unity with the Father. Together they hold us. Nothing can pull us away, no matter what happens. There may be more “faith rattling events” in my future, or yours, but there is one constant, one eternal hope. God holds us. God will not drop us. Or, said another way, God has our backs, no matter what happens. Even when we say, “Where were you Lord? You shut me out.”

No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one. "Mysteries revealed by God cannot be harmful to us, nor should they remain as treasures hidden in a field, useless." Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, 1943.

This, of course, was not a new teaching. St Paul comes back to it again and again. Here are a few instances: "Christ is the head of the body, the church" (Colossians 1: 18) "For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and indi- vidually we are members one of another" (Romans 12:4-5) For in the one Spirit we were all baptised into one body - Jews or Greeks, slaves or free - and we were all made to drink of one Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:13)

St Paul's was not a lone voice. Pius XII adds, "The unbroken tradi- tion of the Fathers from the earliest times teaches that the Divine Redeemer and the Church which is His Body form but one mysti- cal person, that is to say, the whole Christ." Pg 3 Vespers Service For Mothers

In honor of all mothers, the St. Henry Respect Life Committee is holding a Vesper Service on Mon- day, May 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the church. All are invited to come and participate in this beautiful prayer service to honor our mothers. We will be praying for all mothers, espe- cially for those currently carrying a child in utero. Come and honor your mother and pray for her and mothers who are experiencing difficulty of any type. Deacon Larry Loumena will be presiding and there will be music as we recite the psalms and prayers and hymns that make up this beautiful liturgical service. The service will last about a half hour. Covid precautions will be observed. Questions: Jerry McAfee, Phone# 503-260-8995.

April 25, World Day of Prayer for Vocations

Vocation is how God calls you to serve Him in the world.

God calls you through Baptism and Confirmation to serve Him in a specific way of life. You can follow God’s call as a single person, married person, ordained priest or vowed religious.

Confianza en los Principes –Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ©LPi

¿Alguna vez le has confiado tus problemas a un amigo, solo para obtener la respuesta, "¿has orado al respecto tanto como has hablado de ello?" Como todo buen consejo, al principio puede irritar mucho al receptor. Aquí estoy, vulnerable y heri- do, descargando mis problemas, y este bromista intenta volvérmelos a cargar y enviarlos a alguien con un salario más alto. Pero, de nuevo, como todo buen e irritante consejo, suena cierto si te sientas y lo piensas. Claro, ventilar es útil. Todos necesitamos a ese amigo o familiar que pueda escuchar nuestros problemas. Pero si alguna vez empezamos a pensar que esa persona puede resolverlos, es una buena señal de que estamos perdiendo la perspectiva. ¿Estás mirando al mundo en busca de una respuesta? ¿Te estas mirando al espejo esperando en- contrar una solución a tus problemas? ¿Estas esperando que la felicidad, la paz, el contentamiento o la justicia vengan de algún lugar aparte de Dios? “Es mejor refugiarse en el Señor que confiar en los príncipes,” nos dicen los Salmos. Bueno, yo nunca he confiado demasiado en los príncipes. Pero cuando se trata de problemas, a menudo me encuentro diciéndole a Dios que dé un paso atrás: "Yo lo tengo." Es difícil orar por cualquier problema tanto como hablar de él. Tenemos tantas ganas de abordar el problema nosotros mismos. Pero te contaré un secreto: no importa cuál sea la pregunta, no tene Pg 6 mos la respuesta. Llévasela a Aquel que si la tiene. ╬ Anuncios del Ministerio Hispano ╬

El cuarto Domingo de Pascua siempre nos recuerda la belleza del Señor Jesús como Buen Pastor. En el Evangelio, Jesús describe cómo es el trabajo de un pastor. Nos dice que, lo primero es dar la vida por sus ovejas. Segundo, cuidarlas y protegerlas de todo peligro. Y tercero, un buen pastor no cobra un salario, no trabaja a sueldo. Más, sin embargo, da la vida por su propio rebaño. Existe una acción permanente entre pastor y oveja. El Papa Francisco explicó lo que hace un Buen Pastor: “El Buen Pastor, Jesús, está atento a cada uno de nosotros, nos busca y nos ama, dirigiéndonos su Palabra, conociendo en profundidad nuestro corazón, nuestros deseos y nuestras esperanzas, como también nuestros errores y nuestras decepciones”. Y el continuó diciendo: “Nos acoge y nos ama como somos, con nuestros méritos y nuestros defectos. Por cada uno de nosotros Él da la vida eterna: nos ofrece la posibilidad de vivir una vida plena, sin fin. También nos custodia y nos guía con amor, ayudándonos a atravesar los sende- ros inaccesibles y las rutas a veces peligrosas que se nos presentan en el camino de la vida” (Noticias Vaticano 12 de mayo 2019). No tengamos miedo, continuemos firmes en este tiempo de prueba, el Señor es nuestro auténti- co Pastor que camina con nosotros y es fiel a sus promesas. “Yo Soy el Buen Pastor y conozco a los míos como los míos me conocen a mí, lo mismo que el Padre me conoce a mí y yo conozco al Padre. Y yo doy la vida por las ovejas” (Juan 10:14-15). ¿Dónde, cómo y cuándo ha sido Jesús nuestro Pastor en este tiempo? Pg 7 Gresham Memorial Chapel Locally Owned and Operated since 1991 John J.
