From Our Pastor, Fr. Fausto ... My Dear Friends,

In today’s Gospel, Jesus compares Himself to a shepherd (not always a good image in His time) and this is what Our Good Shepherd remarks about us, His sheep: “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can

take them out of my hand.” Years ago, a painting of Jesus, carrying the lost sheep or the lost lamb on his shoulders, was found in almost all Catholic homes, to remind us sinners never to despair of God’s forgiveness and love for us. The shepherd encloses the fold safely and then, realizing that one sheep is missing, even if night approaches, he goes back to seek the lost sheep entangled in the briars. Gently carrying her to the fold is a powerful and consoling symbol of God’s concern and love for us! We must then unshakably believe that, notwithstanding our unfaithful relation to Jesus, He is always there to love and save us, even when the thorns of greed, racism, pride, lust, and envy have enveloped us in the total darkness of the soul! Never despair, my dear friends, Jesus is always there with us in the middle of our depression and our painful losses. All sins are forgiven by God when we ask him for forgiveness. The only sin that God does not forgive is the sin against the Holy Spirit, which is when we assent to the devil’s greatest temptation: “Your sins are too horrible ... God will never forgive you!” If we fall into this terrible temptation, then we will not ask and, consequently, we will not receive Jesus’ forgiveness, not because God’s infinite mercy cannot forgive all sins, but because we do not ask, and so we will not receive. As Jesus said: “Ask and you shall receive.”

Today, April 22, also known as “Good Shepherd Sunday,” is the “55th World Day of Prayer for Vocations.” Pope Paul VI instituted the Wor ld Day of Prayer for Priestly Vocations (the 4th Sunday of Easter) on April 11, 1964, by saying: “O Jesus, divine Shepherd of the spirit, you have called the Apostles in order to make them fishermen of men. You still attract to you burning spirits and generous young people in order to render them your followers and ministers to us.” In the 55 years since, successive pontiffs have called on the Church to focus and pray for vocations, both to the priesthood and the diaconate. The theme for 2018 is “Listen, Discern, and Live God's calling.”

In a general sense, we all have a “vocation,” a call from God, according to our state of life. For example, the vocation of married people is the very difficult task of begetting and educating our future Christians. It is a very demanding task, much more difficult to grasp and fulfill than many other vocations.

In a strict Catholic sense, the term “vocation” means the divine call to serve the spiritual and material needs of our neighbors, without restriction of faith, origin, sex, or civil status. We need lay ministers and, using St. Martha as an example, we need religious education teachers,

lectors, altar servers, cantors, ushers, greeters, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, office volunteers, etc. And, of course, we need ordained ministers, either married deacons or unmarried priests in our Latin Rite.

The Caritas Bosom Buddies Comedy and Fashion Show committee would like to extend a special Thank You to all who contributed to our fundraiser. We appreciate every kindness, gift, monetary donation and prayer which made our Caritas fundraiser a success!

Fausto Stampiglia, S.A.C. Good, well done job Sabrina!

Today we celebrate Earth Day, and we remember one of our Christian faith corollaries: “Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi” (Our Prayer Reflects Our Belief) regarding our relationship to creation.

The biblical basis of our relation to the Earth is based on Genesis 1:28: “Fill the earth and subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth.” In light of this command from the Creator, we then pray: “You made man the steward of creation, to praise you day by day for the marvels of your wisdom and power, through Jesus (5th Sunday preface).” As echoed in John’s gospel (1:3-4): “All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was LIFE.”

So we, Jesus’ followers, celebrate today the creation of Earth and life, remembering well that we are not “owners” but “stewards” of creation, not destroying life, but conserving all living creatures, from amoebas to human fetuses: we must save and conserve life!

QUESTIONS FROM THE KIDS AT SCHOOL TO FR. FAUSTO!

(SOME DEEP THEOLOGICAL THOUGHTS!) 1. What would have happened if Mary had

said no to being Jesus’ mother? 2. Why did Jesus die on a Friday? 3. Why did Satan become evil? 4. How long did it take Noah to build the ark? 5. Why do bad things happen to good people?

To grasp these biblical principles it is opportune to learn from our beloved Holy Father, meditating on Christian principles of creation, especially the encyclical “Laudato Si” which you may read in this bulletin insert. “Laudato Si” is the sentence which opens, in ancient Italian, the poem on creation by St. Francis of Assisi, and means “Praised you be” (O creator).

Let’s make our own these teachings of the Holy Father, so we may understand and be active in the defense of Earth and all living creatures.

Smile, God loves you and so does Fr. Fausto

with your St. Martha clergy: Fathers Patrick, Wojciech, Jan, John & Jerry

Deacons Bill & Patrick; and Brothers Bill, Tom & Lawrence & Sister Cathy

Heavenly Father, give us love for all people, especially the most vulnerable, and help us bear witness to the truth that every life is worth living.

FROM THE OFFICE OF OUR BISHOP: Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The Catholic Home Missions Appeal supports isolated, challenged Parishes and Missions in Dioceses across the United States

and in several U.S. Territories. There is a great need for evangelization and sharing the message of Christ and the beauty of the Church. The Church at home needs to be strengthened.

The Catholic Home Missions Appeal (CHMA), supports the neediest Dioceses in the United States. This appeal makes the most basic faith programs possible and shares the Gospel message with our brothers and sisters in Dioceses where Church communities are scattered and struggling. Grants from the Catholic Home Missions Appeal cover the costs of basic and essential pastoral programs such as: evangelization, catechesis, seminary formation, and lay leadership training. As the economy continues to shift, and the gap between the classes grows wider, the reality is such that the poor areas require more of our support.

The 2018 Catholic Home Missions Appeal is scheduled in the Diocese of Venice the weekend of April 28 & 29, 2018. Your support of this appeal makes a difference in the faith lives of people right here in the United States. To learn more about the appeal and those who benefit from it, visit www.usccb.ora/homemissions. Thank you for your generosity!

I take this opportunity to assure you and your families of my continued consideration as well as my prayers in this Easter Season.

Sincerely yours in Christ, + Frank J. Dewane

Bishop of the Diocese of Venice in Florida

Cuarto Domingo de Pascua 22 de abril de 2018 Miren cuánto amor nos ha tenido el Padre, pues no sólo nos llamamos hijos de Dios, sino que lo somos. — 1 Juan 3:1 SALVADOS POR AQUEL QUE FUE RECHAZADO

Algunos adolescentes de la ciudad suelen menospreciar y rechazar a los chicos del campo. Sin embargo, no sería una exageración decir que la humanidad les debe la vida a los agricultores que cuidan los cultivos y el ganado por todo el mundo. La Sagrada Escritura para esta semana nos recuerda que Jesús fue rechazado como pastor, como chico del campo, sin embargo, a él le debemos la vida. En la lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles de este domingo, Pedro les dice a las personas que la salvación viene por Jesucristo, que fue rechazado y crucificado. En la carta del apóstol san Juan escuchamos que nos hemos convertido en los hijos amados de Dios por Jesús, a quien el mundo no conoció. Por último, en el Evangelio Jesús se describe como el buen Pastor: “yo doy la vida por las ovejas” (Juan 10:11). ¿Te unirás a Jesús para dar tu vida por el rebaño amado de Dios? Copyright © J. S.
