FROM FATHER CHUCK Today is World Day of Prayer for Vocations, also commonly called Good Shepherd Sunday. The two titles go hand in hand. In Church language, a vocation is a calling from God to a particular ministry or work or way of life. As Jesus notes in today’s Gospel, “I know mine and mine know me.” The sheep learn and heed the shepherd’s voice. When considering what is a “vocation”, many in the Church think first of priests or nuns, perhaps because the word has most often been identified with that calling. But every baptized person in the community ought to discern what is her or his vocation. We are all called to respond to the Good Shepherd. That call may be to marriage or to single life. It may be to consecrated life in community, such as a sister or brother or priest might live. It may be as a diocesan priest, like Fr. Lucio and myself. We pray for vocations to all these faithful ways of life. Lots of people choose to marry & many choose to remain single. However, they are not all respond-ing to a calling from God. The prayer we make today strives to heighten awareness among all Catholics, indeed among all Christians, that God calls each of us to a lived discipleship, to express the Good News, the Gospel, in our daily lives, to show by the choices we make that we do know and follow the Lord, Je-sus Christ, our Shepherd. The married couple living out their vocation is a witness of the love of Jesus Christ, first to each other, and then to their family and to the whole world. The vocation of marriage is not a private matter. Like all vocations, it is lived outwardly in the world. Similarly, a disciple of Christ who hears the call to be single, does not just live for her/himself but lives a life of service to the Gospel. Another vocation we see in the Church is commonly referred to as “lay religious” or “third order.” These people typically do not live in community, and they work in the world but make vows to live ac-cording to a religious rule of life. For example, I’m aware in our diocese that we have active Franciscan, Carmelite and Dominican third order communities. The latter is based in our parish. We currently have four men in the seminary discerning their vocation to diocesan priesthood. On this day let us especially pray for them. If you’d like to drop them a note this week to tell them you are pray-ing for them, that would be appreciated, I’m sure. I remember receiving notes like that from time to time when I was in the seminary and it was always a happy reminder that people “back home” were lifting me up and, in a sense, journeying with me. Later in this bulletin you will find our seminarians’ photos and contact information. If you or someone you know is interested in priesthood or religious life, please con-tact Fr. Lucio or me. Vocation is also used in a broader way to talk about not only a way of life but a ministry within the parish, such as lector, greeter, extraordinary minister of the Eucharist, cantor, musician, server, altar care, teacher, coordinator of outreach to the poor or the needy, bereavement support and the list can go on and on. These may be sort of “mini” vocations in that one’s whole life may not be devoted to it but, in Christian charity and discipleship, it is a public way to support others on their journey of faith.

As our larger community begins to open up in the lessening days of COVID 19, and our diocese and parish cautiously does the same, I want to call back all those who have been involved in these various ministries in the parish to return to their work and I want to encourage those who may not be involved to consider these vocations as well. You may be noticing from week to week that many of the same people are involved in the liturgical ministries. With more people returning to the pews, that should not be the case. Please do consider what the Lord may be calling you to do. We need your help!

DEL PADRE CHUCK

Hoy es el Día Mundial de Oración por las Vocaciones, también comúnmente llamado Domingo del Buen Pastor. Los dos títulos van de la mano. En el idioma de la Iglesia, una vocación es un llamado de Dios a un ministerio, obra o una forma en particular de vida . Como Jesús señala en el Evangelio de hoy, "conozco a los míos como los míos me conocen a mí." Las ovejas aprenden y hacen caso a la voz del pastor. Al considerar lo que es una "vocación", muchos en la Iglesia piensan primero en los sacer-dotes o monjas, tal vez porque la palabra se ha identificado con mayor frecuencia con estas vocaciones. Pero toda persona bautizada debe discernir su propia vocación. Todos estamos llamados a responder al Buen Pastor. Esa llamada puede ser al matrimonio o a la soltería. Puede ser a la vida consagrada, como un hermano(a) o un sacerdote podrían vivir. Puede ser como sacerdote diocesano, como el Pa-dre Lucio y yo. Oremos por vocaciones a todas estas fieles formas de vida. La mayoría de la gente elige casarse y muchos optan por permanecer solteros. Sin embargo, no todos están respondiendo a un llamado de Dios. La oración que hacemos hoy procura aumentar la con-ciencia entre los católicos, de hecho, entre todos los cristianos. Nos llama a todos y a cada uno de no-sotros a vivir un discipulado, a expresar la Buena Nueva, al Evangelio, en nuestra vida cotidiana, a mos-trar con hechos que conocemos y seguimos al Señor, a Jesucristo, a nuestro Pastor. La pareja casada que vive su vocación es un testimonio del amor de Jesucristo, primero el uno al otro, y luego a su familia y al mundo entero. La vocación del matrimonio no es un asunto privado. Como todas las vocaciones, se vive externamente en el mundo. Del mismo modo, un discípulo de Cristo que escucha el llamado a ser soltero(a), no sólo vive para él/ella mismo, sino que vive una vida de servicio al Evangelio.

I have been working on the formation of a Legacy Council for the Cathedral parish. This is com-prised of faithful people who are involved in some manner of estate work who are willing to be in an ad-visory role to parishioners about planning their estates and end of life transitions. This is a huge area that involves more than just a will or who is going to get your property. It is about giving prayerful con-sideration regarding what and whom the Lord has given you in your life and how you want to care for and acknowledge what is important to you when you no longer can do it yourself. A “legacy” speaks about what I leave behind to, in some manner, support and continue the work entrusted to me. This also includes plans for guardianship of minor children or adults who become incapacitated. On Monday, May 10 at 5:30 PM, the Legacy Council will be sponsoring a basic seminar on some of these issues to begin, or perhaps continue, considerations and conversations in this regard. Sharon Januzzi, an attorney and member of our parish, will be our primary presenter. Over the next two weekends members of the coun-cil will be available after mass to register interested people for the seminar. I encourage you to partici-pate in this free seminar to help evaluate what plan you have now and to prayerfully take steps to further develop that plan. This is an important part of being a good steward of all that the Lord has given us, including our lives. For planning purposes, registration is required.

BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL THIS FOURTH WEEK OF EASTER!

Otra vocación en la Iglesia, que se conoce comúnmente como "Laico Religioso " o "Tercer Orden". Estas personas normalmente no viven en comunidad, trabajan en el mundo, y hacen votos para vivir de acuerdo con las reglas de una vida religiosa. Por ejemplo, en nuestra diócesis tenemos comunidades franciscanas, carmelitas y dominicanas de Tercer Orden activas. Este último tiene su sede en nuestra parroquia. Actualmente tenemos 4 hombres en el seminario discerniendo su vocación al sacerdocio diocesano. Oremos especialmente por ellos en este día. Si desea, escríbales una nota para que sepan que está orando por ellos, será apreciada, estoy seguro. Cuando yo estaba en el seminario, recuerdo haber reci-bido notas y siempre fueron un feliz recordatorio de que la gente "en casa" me estaba apoyando y, en cierto sentido, viajando conmigo. Más adelante en este boletín, encontrará las fotos de nuestros semi-naristas y la información de contacto. Si usted o alguien que conoce está interesado en la vida sacerdo-tal o religiosa, póngase en contacto con el Padre Lucio o conmigo. La palabra vocación también se utiliza de una manera más amplia para hablar no sólo de una forma de vida, sino de un ministerio dentro de la parroquia, como lector, ministro extraordinario de la Eucaristía, ujier, cantor, músico, servidor, cuidado del altar, catequista, coordinador de ayuda a los pobres y necesi-tados, apoyo de duelo, y la lista sigue y sigue. Estas pueden ser una "mini" vocación en el sentido de que sus vidas no están totalmente dedicadas a esta, pero en caridad cristiana y discipulado, es una for-ma pública de apoyar a los demás en su camino de fe. A medida que nuestra comunidad y nuestra diócesis comienzan a abrirse en los días de disminución del COVID 19, la parroquia hace lo mismo con cautela, quiero llamar a todos aquellos que han estado involucrados en estos diversos ministerios para que regresen a su trabajo y también quiero animar a aquellos que tal vez no estén involucrados a considerar estas vocaciones. Tal vez se den cuenta que semana a semana, las mismas personas están involucradas en los ministerios litúrgicos. Con más gen-te regresando a los bancos, ese no debería ser el caso. Por favor, consideren lo que el Señor puede estar llamado a hacer. ¡Necesitamos tu ayuda! He estado trabajando en la formación de un Consejo Legado para la parroquia de la Catedral. Esto está compuesto por personas fieles que están involucradas en algún tipo de trabajo patrimonial que es-tán dispuestos a estar en un papel de asesoramiento a los feligreses sobre la planificación de sus pro-piedades y transiciones al final de la vida. Este es un área enorme que implica más que un solo volun-tad o que va a obtener su propiedad. Se trata de dar consideración orante con respecto a qué y a quién te ha dado el Señor en tu vida y cómo quieres cuidar y reconocer lo que es importante para ti cuando ya no puedes hacerlo tú mismo. Un "legado" habla de lo que dejo atrás para, de alguna manera, apoyar y continuar el trabajo que se me ha confiado. Esto también incluye planes para la tutela de niños menores de edad o adultos que se incapacitan. El Lunes 10 de Mayo a las 5:30 PM, el Consejo Legado patroci-nará un seminario básico sobre algunas de estas cuestiones para comenzar, o tal vez continuar, consi-deraciones y conversaciones a este respecto. Sharon Januzzi, abogada y feligrés de nuestra parroquia, será nuestra presentadora principal. Durante los próximos 2 fines de semana los miembros del consejo estarán disponibles después de la Misa para registrar a las personas interesadas para el seminario. Les animo a participar en este seminario gratuito para ayudar a evaluar qué plan tienes ahora y a tomar me-didas con espíritu de oración para seguir desarrollando ese plan. Esta es una parte importante de ser un buen administrador de todo lo que el Señor nos ha dado, incluida nuestra vida. Por fines de planificación, requerimos que se registre. ¡BENDICIONES PARA TODOS USTEDES ESTA CUARTA SEMANA DE PASCUA!
