THE GOOD SHEPHERD

The Good Shepherd not only knows us but has given his life for us. We belong to the Shepherd. His life is the source of our life. One part of this relationship is firmGods part. The Father has entrusted us to the Son, and the Son will not let go of our hand. The other part of this relationship depends on us, of course. In todays Gospel, Jesus assumes our openhearted good will. My sheep hear my voice . . . and they follow me. This hearing and following is a daily undertaking that implies responsibility. Take Paul and Barnabas, for example. They moved ever closer to the reality that salvation was also meant for those members of the flock who did not yet know Gods saving power. The Gentiles were the sheep known by the Shepherd. Paul could finally see that now was the acceptable time for them to know the Shepherd. Now the circle could be completed. Finally, those who were known and loved by the God of Jesus could know and follow the God of Jesus. There will never be a last chapter to this story of salvation. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

KNOW THE MASS, ONE WORD AT A TIME

Unite
The Mass unites us and makes us one but not in the ways that you might expect. You may not know the name or history of the person sitting next to you in the pew. Still, the Mass unites you and draws you extraordinarily close to each other. How does this happen? We are first united in Holy Communion with Jesus and in the unity of the Holy Spirit with each other. Saint Paul said, Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake the one bread (1 Corinthians 10:17). The Mass, then, unites us with Jesus and, in him, with each other. That is a gift. Besides being a gift, this unity is also a task and a responsibility that flows from the Mass, as we hear Paul urging us to make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit (Ephesians 4:3). Finally, this unity is our hope and destiny, as Jesus prayed for us: The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one (John 17:2223).
