GOSPEL MEDITATION April 22, 2018 4th Sunday of Easter Today's Gospel occurs in the middle of Jesus' ministry. At first, Jesus' words seem to be about the value of self-sacrifice in a leader. "I am the Good Shepherd ? I will lay down my life for the sheep." The Apostles likely would have accepted these words easily enough. But then comes something more strange. "I lay down my life in order to take it up again ? I have power to lay it down and power to take it up again." Only later, when Jesus opened the Scriptures to them after his resurrection, would the Apostles understand his words. Only then would they understand why such an act was necessary for the salvation of the world. Even now, we may struggle with the necessity of Holy Week. How often do we hear complaints against the silence of God, as if He is the "hired man" who "runs away" from suffering? Jesus' life, death, and resurrection is our redemption in fact. God himself bears the full weight of sin's consequences. The Paschal Mystery is also a sign that happens in full view of the human experience. We have seen Jesus lay down his life. We have seen him accom-pany others. "I know mine and mine know me." We have seen him reach those outside the traditional flock, "sheep not of this fold." Jesus is the Good Shepherd, not only in Scripture but in our daily lives. While we can't experience physically walking alongside him like the Apostles did, the grace of our redemption continues through the Church. We are shep-herded by the sacraments, by faith formation, by good mentors. At the same time, we are not only the sheep. In imitating Jesus, we, too, are invited to lay down our lives for others. We can be the hands, feet, and shepherd's crook of Christ. LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK There is something comforting about knowing that we are in someone's care. Children can feel this most easily when sur-rounded by the embrace of a mother or father. All is well. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. We don't have to figure out all of the com-plexities of life. All we need to do is allow Jesus to be the true shepherd of our lives: to point us in the right direction, lead us to the best pasture, and keep us safe from harm. So many things in the world can hurt us, and we can quickly find that we are on the road to despair. Keeping focused on Jesus, remaining close to him, allows us to develop the gifts and talents God has given us and discover the key to true happiness. Jesus welcomes me with all of my doubts and fears, limitations and sins.

Do you know anyone who may be interested in the Catholic faith? Many avenues lead individuals to the Catholic Church. A conversation with a Catholic friend or coworker may

bring about an inquiry into Catholicism. A visit to a Catholic Church for a wedding or a funeral may pique curiosity. Per-haps something read in the newspaper or seen on televi-sion sparks an interest in Catholicism. Many people reach a point where they find themselves asking questions about life’s meaning, world issues, and their own direction. Some individuals have been inactive members of a Christian de-nomination and are now seeking a richer spiritual life. If you know someone who is interested in the RCIA program here at St. Patrick’s please contact Kevin at 235-5535. We are excited to begin forming a new class for this fall.
