Do you remember Fr. Joe Atcher, O.Carm.? Fr.
Atcher is the Carmelite priest who came to St.
Matthew to deliver the sad news that the
Carmelites will be leaving St. Matthew at the end
of June. That is Fr. Atcher’s job. He is just the
messenger. We are glad he will be joining us on
June 2. We will be able to show him our love for
the Carmelites and thank him for returning to
share this day with us.

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 firm—God’s 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 today’s Gospel, Jesus assumes our open-hearted 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 God’s
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.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
The purpose of the World Day of Prayer for Vocations on
April 21, 2013 is to publically 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), to the Religious life in all its forms (male and
female, contemplative and apostolic), to societies of apostolic
life, to secular institutes in their diversity of services and
membership, and to the missionary life, in the particular sense
of mission “ad gentes”. For more information visit our website
at www.vocations.com. This marks the 50th Anniversary of
the World Day of Prayer for Vocations.
