THE SHEPHERD’S FLOCK In Christian art, the earliest depictions of Jesus Christ were not of his crucifixion or of his resurrection. The first known renderings of Jesus show him as the Good Shepherd, the image put before us in today’s readings. In the Gospel passage Jesus reveals that he is the shepherd and his followers are his “flock.” In the first and second readings, we are told more about the flock. The passage from Acts assures us that both Jews and Gentiles are called to follow Jesus. It is faith, not birthright, that makes us part of the company of believers. In the passage from the book of Revelation we learn that the flock that follows this Lamb of God will also be washed in his blood. They will endure a time of trial before they enjoy eternal life. Be assured of the promise, we are told, but know there is a price to be paid. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL REBAÑO DEL PASTOR En el arte cristiano, las primeras imágenes de Jesucristo no fueron de su crucifixión ni de su resurrección. Fueron de Jesús como el Buen Pastor, tal como nos lo presentan las lecturas de hoy. En el pasaje evangélico Jesús se nos revela como el pastor y sus seguidores son su “rebaño”. La primera y la segunda lecturas nos cuentan un poco más sobre el rebaño. El pasaje de los Hechos nos asegura que tanto los judíos como los gentiles están llamados a seguir a Jesús. Es la fe, no el derecho de cuna, lo que nos permite pertenecer a la comunidad de creyentes. En el pasaje del libro del Apocalipsis, aprendemos que el rebaño que le sigue a este Cordero de Dios será también purificado en su sangre. Tendrán que sobrellevar un tiempo de prueba antes de gozar de la vida eterna. Estén seguros de la promesa, nos avisa, pero sepan que hay un precio que pagar. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

We are here every Monday & Friday from 9-11 am. Thank you in advance from all of our volunteers.

SPRING BIBLE STUDY - Ever wonder why the message of the Church is called “Good News”? Come discover why it is not only good news, but the best news of all! Join us for the four week series, FRESH START – recovering the Joy of the Gospel. We meet on Thursday evenings from 7 – 8:30 pm, here at the parish (rectory entrance).

MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER: Think of how tired, discouraged and frustrated the apostles must have been in the Gospel reading today. Then Jesus shows up and tells them to try one more time. Because they were willing and obedient, Jesus blessed them abundantly. It works the same way in our own lives today; if we trust in Jesus and do what He tells us to do we will receive His abundant blessings! Allow the grace of God to strengthen, renew and rekindle your marriage relationship. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekends are April 29-May 1, 2016 at St. Francis Retreat Center, San Juan Bautista, CA; July 15-17, 2016 at St. Anthony’s Retreat Center, Three Rivers, CA. and October 21-23, 2016 at St. Francis Retreat Center, San Juan Bautista, CA. For more info call Mary Jo & Rich Castello, at (831)704-6322.

THINKING ABOUT SEPARATION OR DIVORCE? – Is your marriage or that of a relative or friend heading for divorce? Do you know how to save that marriage? Or do you feel helpless? Retrouvaille is designed to help troubled marriages regain their health. It helps spouses uncover or re-awaken the love, trust and commitment that originally brought them together. The program is highly successful in saving hurting marriages, even bringing reconciliation to couples who have already separated or divorced. For confidential information about or to register for the program beginning with a weekend on May 6-8, 2016 call 831-479-1260 or email: Monterey@RetroCA.com or visit the web site at www.HelpOurMarriage.com.

Every so often we remind parishioners to be vigilant about safety and security. When you come to Mass, lock your vehicle, don’t leave valuables unattended, and watch your children. The poor have always been with us, but lately we are experiencing an increase of those who target us with panhandling and misusing our facilities. Fundamentally we are tolerant and generous with the needy. We ask you to be kind and treat others with respect, but also be cautious and use common sense. Our policy has not changed. Rather than give money to people who stand around outside the Church, we encourage you to support St. Vincent de Paul’s or the Church Pantry with donations of food or money. Or, give to a worthy community charity like the Food Bank. Please help us to keep our Church and School campus safe and clean, so that all who come here feel welcome and in a sacred place.

De vez en cuando les recordamos a nuestros fieles feligreses que estén alerta sobre la seguridad. Cuando vienen a Misa, cierren sus carros no deje cosas de valor desatendidas, y cuide a sus hijos. Los pobres siempre han estado con nosotros, pero últimamente hemos experimentado un aumento de esos que piden limosna y usan nuestras instalaciones de mal uso. Fundamentalmente somos tolerantes y generosos con los necesitados. Les pedimos ser amables y que tratemos a los demás con respeto, pero también les pedimos ser prudentes y usen el sentido común. Nuestras pólizas nos han cambiado. En lugar de dar dinero a las personas que están alrededor de la Iglesia, les pedimos y apoyen a San Vicente de Paúl o a las despensas del Sagrado Corazón con donaciones de comida o con dinero. También pueden hacer su donación al Banco de comida de su comunidad. Les pedimos que nos ayuden a mantener nuestra Iglesia y el área de la Escuela limpia y segura, para que de esa manera todos los que vienen aquí se sientan bienvenidos y seguros.
