PRAYER AND REFLECTION May 11, 2014 Fourth Sunday of Easter Read: John 10:1-10 Today is Good Shepherd Sunday, and we will hear in the Gospel that sheep recognize the true shepherd s voice. And this weekend in North America we are also celebrating Mother s Day. Good mothers are like good shepherds, desiring the safety of their children, praying that they listen to true voices and follow the true path. Let us pray today for every mother s child, for the opportunity and the desire to grow into the child of God each is meant to be. On this Good Shepherd Sunday, let us pray for our world, so in need of guidance; for our communities and families, so in need of a loving presence; for ourselves, so in need of God s wisdom and grace. Let us pray for the church: for the grace to reveal the face of Jesus, to speak the word of Jesus, to do the will of Jesus we pray,, For peace: for a world that welcomes the life of every mother s child and offers to each person opportunities for education, meaningful work, fulfillment and hope for the future we pray, For our mothers: for grandmothers and stepmothers and godmothers; for the women who have taught us, nurtured us and believed in us we pray, For those for whom Mother s Day is a painful day: for women longing for motherhood; for mothers mourning the loss of their child and children mourning the loss of their mothers; for those who never knew their mothers or whose mothers could not love them for the comfort of our loving, nurturing, caring God we pray, We remember those who have died and for the shepherd s comfort for those overwhelmed by grief we pray, Prayer Good and loving God, hear the prayers of your people this day. Protect us, guide us and hear us as we pray in the name of Jesus, our shepherd and risen Lord, forever and ever. Amen. Celebration 2014

5 Eu vim para que tenham vida e a tenham em abundância. IV Domingo Tempo Pascal (Ano A): At 2, 14a ; Sl 22 (23); 1Pd 2, 20b-25; Jo 10, 1-10 Normalmente, as ovelhas eram reunidas num redil comum para passarem a noite. Pela manhã, cada pastor fazia sair suas ovelhas chamando-as pelo nome a fim de conduzilas às pastagens. Jesus usa esta imagem para falar da sua missão. Ele é o pastor que conhece as suas ovelhas e caminha à sua frente guiando-as no caminho. Ele é, ao mesmo tempo, o pastor e a porta das ovelhas, o caminho que conduz à salvação. Quem segue a Cristo encontra segurança e vida plena. Jesus salva, dá a vida em plenitude em contraste com aqueles que oprimem e exploram o povo. A 1ª leitura sublinha que Jesus foi constituído Senhor e Cristo, títulos essenciais da fé cristã. O acolhimento da mensagem de salvação leva à conversão e ao batismo em nome de Jesus Cristo. Assim, os cristãos tornam-se aptos para receber o dom do Espírito Santo, a vida nova como filhos e filhas de Deus. O salmo usa a imagem do pastor que, no mundo antigo, indicava principalmente a liderança e a providência do rei por seu povo. O salmista confia no pastor divino até mesmo quando o caminho leva para um vale de sombra e de morte. Na 2ª leitura, os cristãos encontram em Cristo, o Servo sofredor, o modelo para transformar o sofrimento que lhes é imposto em testemunho de fé. Sob o cuidado do pastor, somos chamados a ser solidários com os que sofrem, com os excluídos. Cristo ressuscitado é o Bom Pastor que nos conhece pelo nome e nos guia no caminho para Deus. Quem passa por Cristo, pelo seu projeto de libertação, encontra a vida em plenitude. A comunhão com Cristo Pastor, a escuta de sua palavra impele a doar a vida para cuidar e defender o rebanho. Oração (Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Deus de ternura, conduze à alegria do teu reino todos os homens e mulheres que buscam teu rosto, para que o pequeno rebanho dos discípulos e discípulas de Jesus possa atingir, apesar da sua fraqueza, a estatura da maturidade de Cristo, nosso pastor, por quem te pedimos na unidade do Espírito Santo. Amém. LEITURAS DA SEMANA: Pe. Jonas D. Christal ( 2ª-: At 11, 1-18; Sl 41 (42), 2. 3; 42(43), 3. 4 (R/. cf. Sl 41 [42], 3a); Jo 10, ª-: At 11, 19-26; Sl 86 (87), ; (R/.
