RESPONDING TO THE CALL Do we truly know the voice of Christ? Do we truly respond to the voice of our shepherd with our own distinctive voice? How often we attempt to imitate those around us, appropriating the response of another member of the flock to Christ. Perhaps we need to balance the image of being sheep of one flock with the image from the second reading, which tells us that we are all children of God. What child has precisely the same interaction with parents as his or her siblings? Instead, they frequently do and say things to distinguish themselves in the eyes of their parents. Whether we use the image of children or of sheep to understand our relationship with Christ, we believe that we are all known and called by name. With this great gift comes a responsibility: to respond to the call with our own distinctive voice, to take time to discern exactly what our call is, to determine precisely what the will of the Father is for each of us.

FIESTA DE LA FE Segunda Lectura Mientras que en la Misa Dominical la primera lectura siempre está relacionada con el Evangelio, la segunda lectura sigue su propio ritmo. Aun así, sin forzar la situación, parece obvia la vinculación o relación que ésta tiene con las demás lecturas. La segunda lectura está tomada de los escritos paulinos o de otros escritos apostólicos. La selección de las mismas durante los tiempos litúrgicos específicos es sumamente cuidadosa. A lo largo del Tiempo Ordinario, siguen su propio ritmo y gran parte de la relación de esta lectura con las demás, depende de la creatividad del homilista. Puesto que es una lectura diferente, se sugiere siempre un proclamador o proclamadora distinto a quien proclamó la primera lectura. La asamblea litúrgica es capaz en sí misma de captar que es un mensaje distinto, más no por eso, es ajeno a la centralidad del Evangelio. Durante el Ciclo Dominical A, la proclamación de la segunda lectura inicia con la 1 Corintios, Romanos, Filipenses y Tesalonicenses; El Ciclo Dominical B: 1 Corintios 6 – 11, 2 Corintios, Efesios, Santiago y Hebreos 2 – 10; el Ciclo Dominical C: 1 Corintios 12 – 15, Gálatas, Colosenses, Hebreos, Filemón, 1 Timoteo, 2 Timoteo y 2 Tesalonicenses.

FEAST OF FAITH The Gospel Reading The climax of the Liturgy of the Word comes with the proclamation of the Gospel. Everything tells us that something important is happening. We stand. We sing special acclamations. Servers with candles and sometimes incense lead the deacon or priest to the ambo, where the reading is proclaimed from a special book. All of the readings are important, but the liturgy directs special attention to the Gospel for a reason. “[A]mong all the inspired writings, even among those of the New Testament, the Gospels have a special place, and rightly so, because they are our principal source for the life and teaching of the Incarnate Word, our Saviour” (Dei Verbum, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation of the Second Vatican Council, 18). In the Gospels, the narrative of Christ’s saving life, death, and resurrection continues to be proclaimed in our midst. Our Sunday Lectionary is structured so as to allow us to hear as much of the Gospels as possible. The readings are arranged in a three-year cycle. In Year A, the Gospel readings are taken mainly from Matthew; in Year B, from Mark and John; and in Year C, from Luke. In this way, over the course of three years, we hear a substantial portion of all four Gospels.

RESPUESTA AL LLAMADO ¿Realmente conocemos la voz de Cristo? ¿Respondemos realmente a la voz de nuestro pastor, con nuestra propia y distintiva voz? ¿Con qué frecuencia intentamos imitar a los que nos rodean, apropiándonos de la respuesta de otro miembro del rebaño de Cristo? Tal vez la necesidad de equilibrar la imagen de ser ovejas de un rebaño con la imagen de la segunda lectura, que nos dice que todos somos hijos de Dios. ¿Qué hijo tiene precisamente la misma interacción con los padres como sus hermanos? Por el contrario, con frecuencia hacen y dicen cosas que se distinguen en los ojos de sus padres. Ya sea que utilicemos la imagen de los niños o de las ovejas para entender nuestra relación con Cristo, creemos que todos somos conocidos y llamados por su nombre. Con este gran regalo viene la responsabilidad: responder a la llamada con la voz propia y distintiva, sacar un tiempo para discernir exactamente cuál es nuestro llamado, para determinar con precisión cuál es la voluntad del Padre para cada uno de nosotros.

World Day of Prayer for Vocations April 25, 2021

The purpose of World Day of Prayer for Vocations is to publicly fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). As a climax to a prayer that is continually offered throughout the Church, it affirms the primacy of faith and grace in all that concerns vocations to the priesthood and to the consecrated life. While appreciating all vocations, the Church concentrates its attention this day on vocations to the ordained ministries (priesthood and diaconate), consecrated life in all its forms (male and female religious life, societies of apostolic life, consecrated virginity), secular institutes in their diversity of services and membership, and to the missionary life. 2021 marks the 58th Anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for Vocations
