Un mensaje del p. Carlos
Los llamó por su Nombre
Es muy tranquilizador saber que nuestro guía o líder de nuestra comunidad nos conoce personalmente y nos llama por nuestro nombre. Ello nos hace pensar o decir: Él me conoce y yo le conozco a él. Esto exige una confianza, lealtad y amor más profundos. En el Domingo del Buen Pastor Jesús mismo nos recuerda cómo nos conoce personalmente. Al mismo tiempo, el hecho de que también nosotros le conozcamos a él, al menos un poco, cambia nuestra vida entera; porque conociéndole a él, conocemos a Dios. Experimentamos en él la bondad, el cuidado y la presencia íntima de Dios en la vida de cada día. Ojalá nosotros también pudiéramos estar cerca los unos de los otros, y los pastores de Jesús pudieran estar cercanos a su pueblo.
Hoy tenemos este pequeño pasaje del Buen Pastor, y aprovechamos este texto, que tiene tintes vocacionales, para secundar la invitación que la Iglesia nos hace en este día a orar por las vocaciones. Si leemos durante estos días el capítulo 10 de San Juan nos daremos cuenta que nos habla también de aquellos que creyeron, que se convirtieron, que se bautizaron, que lo siguieron porque en Él encontraron la vida, palabras de vida eterna.
Por su puesto San Juan quiere que sepamos quién es Jesús, conocerlo y más que eso, seguirlo. Y por eso nos lo propone como el buen Pastor, El , quien da la vida por sus ovejas, y claro, también nos dice las ovejas, OYEN SU VOZ, LO SIGUEN. En la pascua no dejemos de meditar en esas promesas de vida eterna que siguen siendo vivas y actuales para nosotros, si , creemos en El.
Partiendo de esta comparación, en la que nosotros seríamos las ovejas y Jesús el Buen Pastor, Jesús empieza diciendo que “mis ovejas escuchan mi voz”. Y esto supone un elemento previo, que es que nosotros, sus ovejas, reconozcamos también que nuestro Dios es comunicativo, que nos habla, que no es ajeno a lo que nos ocurre en la vida. Dios quiere comunicarse con nosotros y nosotros “escuchamos su voz”. Y Dios nos habla a través de su Palabra, en los acontecimientos de la vida, en las personas que están cerca de nosotros…
En la celebración eucarística Cristo está con nosotros como nuestro Buen Pastor. – Que él esté también con nosotros en nuestra vida y nos guíe por medio de su Santo Espíritu. Que también nos haga pastores, los unos de los otros: que, como hermanos, nos preocupemos unos de otros, nos animemos y apoyemos mutuamente; y que así lleguemos a ser para el mundo un signo del amor fiel y bondadoso de Dios.
Recibimos su bendición que desciende sobre nosotros y nos acompaña siempre. Paz y Bien.

EASTER IS MORE THAN ONE SUNDAY
Easter is Fifty Days of Rejoicing! A celebration of the Lord's resurrection from the dead and his sending forth of the Holy Spirit.
EASTER SEASON RESOURCES & REFLECTIONS
As we enter into this very special time, there are suggested resources and reflections to explore on our website.
COLLECTION TOTAL FOR MAY 1, 2022
$9,919.24
THE SECOND COLLECTION THIS SUNDAY will help support the Cardinal McIntyre Fund for Charity
Thank you for your donation!
The goal of the Cardinal McIntyre Fund for Charity is service to the “neediest of the needy,” those for whom no other resources exist. Provision of food, shelter, and one-time assistance to families in crises: such as assistance with medical, and funeral expenses, are appropriate as funds allow and as recommended by those who are familiar with the area/persons. In other words, the “Fund” provides emergency help to persons who have nowhere else to go. More Information
ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE YOUR CHURCH DONATION
An easy way to give a donation to the church’s general collection is by text. To get started, text the amount you want to give to 424-360-2500. With your first donation, you will receive a link to enter your payment information. After that, simply text the amount you want to give and that is it! This is a great way to supplement your online recurring donation.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS!
Giving with a cheerful heart is one of the ways we show our obedience to God and demonstrate our recognition that we are only stewards of our earthly possessions. God gives to you so He can give through you.
TOGETHER IN MISSION is the annual appeal to support the poorest parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

May is traditionally dedicated in a special way to honoring and seeking the intercession of Mary as the Mother of God and Mother of the Church.
“She is that woman who rejoiced in the presence of God, who treasured everything in her heart, and who let herself be pierced by the sword. Mary is the saint among the saints, blessed above all others. She teaches us the way of holiness and she walks ever at our side. She does not let us remain fallen and at times she takes us into her arms without judging us.” —Pope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate, no. 176

MOTHER OF GOD
