Jesus Martinez A Word from your Pastor Sunday, May 3, 2020 Follow the Good Shepherd There’s a popular TV show today called “The Masked Singer”. It’s not a show that I watch on a regular basis, but I have caught portions of it from time-to-time. The premise of the show is that a celebrity, somebody who is well-known, is dressed up in costume from head-to-toe; they have a mask on. Then, they perform a well-known song and it’s up to the panel to try to determine who the celebrity is, based on the sound of their voice. Today the church celebrates Good Shepherd Sunday. In our Gospel reading today, from the Gospel according to John, we read that the gatekeeper opens the gate for his sheep, and the sheep hear his voice. The shepherd calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out. When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. In our lives today and in our world, there are many voices calling out, inviting us to follow them, but many of them are not of God. So how do we recognize God’s voice in our lives today? The best way of course is through Scripture, through the Bible, which we believe is the word of God itself. If we abide by that word, if we follow God’s word, if we listen to His word, we can be sure that it is God’s voice that is speaking to us and leading us on the right path. Be careful in our lives - not to follow voices that we don’t recognize. God loves us and He would never lead us down a path that is not good for us, down a path that would not lead to salvation in our lives. Again, we are called to follow the Good Shepherd, who is Jesus Christ, who loves His flock, who loves each one of us, and cares for us as His own. I invite you to participate in Mass this weekend to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd. Follow His voice. He will lead us to salvation. ~Bishop Gregory Parkes, Diocese of St. Petersburg Resources Mass and other resources can be found at : ~St.Luke’s Sunday Mass on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzNMa -UzuQp6Ps1coQrrghQ.

Entonces, ¿cómo reconocer la Art & Carol Canalungo voz de Dios en nuestra vida? El modo más seguro es, por supuesto, a través de las Escrituras, a través de la Biblia, pues es la Palabra de Dios. Si obedecemos su palabra, si la escuchamos y la cumplimos, podemos estar seguros de que es la voz de Dios la que nos habla y nos guía por el camino correcto. Tengamos cuidado de no seguir aquellas voces que no conocemos. Dios nos ama y nunca nos pondría en un mal camino que no nos conduzca a la salvación.

Monseñor Parkes, Obispo de la Diócesis de St. Petersburg St. Luke The Evangelist Catholic Church, Palm Harbor Florida Page 6 VIVIR LA LITURGIA - INSPIRACIÓN DE LA SEMANA (Live the Liturgy) Cuando te levantas por la mañana, ¿de quién es la primera voz que escuchas? ¿La tuya? ¿La de alguien más? o ¿la de Dios? Todos escuchamos a alguien y seguimos algún tipo de pautas y principios. Si es una voz secular que nos impulsa a levantarnos por la mañana y asumir las tareas de la agenda del día, en- tonces podemos encontrarnos fuera de curso. El consejo que se encuentra en los Hechos de los Apóstoles era tan cierto entonces como lo es ahora: "Aléjense de esta generación perversa y sálvense." La mayor parte de lo que escuchamos en voces seculares está fuera del eje de la verdad y distorsionado. Puede so- nar atractivo, pero es engañoso en el mejor de los casos. Muchos se han extraviado como ovejas y necesi- tan regresar al Buen Pastor. Solo Jesús puede ofrecernos la puerta de la vida, y solo Jesús como el Buen Pastor realmente puede motivarnos a asumir los desafíos de la vida. Si no reconocemos su voz, podemos arriesgarnos a enfrentar la destrucción. Please support our advertisers. Without them, our bulletin would not be possible Thomas W.
