P AGE F OURTH S UNDAY OF E ASTER P AGE 2 F OURTH S UNDAY R EFLECTION ON S CRIPTURE ... Fr. Thomas J. Winkel, M.Div. Parochial Vicar The Gospel of John contains the following passages wherein Jesus refers to Himself as the Good Shepherd: “I am the Good Shepherd, and I know mine and mine know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father, and I will lay down My life for the sheep.” Jn 10:14-15 And again in verses 16-17: “I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear My voice, and there will be one flock, one Shepherd. This is why the Father loves Me, because I lay down My Life in order to take it up again.” Jn 10:16-17 This weekend, we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday. "As we celebrate this feast, we pray for fidelity to our vocation. The Church invites us to honor the vocation of all Christians given at baptism. Through the vocation of marriage, priesthood, diaconate, consecrated life, and the single life, may we further the reign of God." Baptisms: First and third Sundays of each month at 1:00 p.m.. Pre-registration required. Parents expecting their first child should arrange to attend the required Pre-Baptism class. These are offered at the parish on the 4th Sunday of January, April, July and October at 1:00 p.m. in Mary’s Room. Pre-registration is required. Call the Parish Office. Marriages: Engaged couples should make their arrangements with the priest at least 6 to 12 months in advance of their wedding.

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, In preparation for today’s world day of prayer for vocations, I have been reflecting on the lives of the men and women with whom I have worked over the years and who have entered the priesthood and religious life. I also ask that you continue to keep in your prayers our two seminarians from Sacred Heart of Jesus: Brother Daniel Bowen, O. de M. and Matthew Weaver. Brother Daniel was born and raised in Mayfield Heights, OH. He attended RCIA and was baptized, confirmed, and received first Holy Eucharist (received into the Church) on Easter Vigil 1994 at Saint Gregory the Great Church, South Euclid, OH As a parishioner he was involved in the many ministries including Holy Name Society, Catholic Men’s Fellowship, a Lector, an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, a volunteer at the pizza-sausage booth during the annual Festivals, and a daily communicant at the 6:45 a.m. Mass. In 2003 he began to experience a call to the priesthood and religious life. Following two years of discernment in August 2006 he left his career, his possessions, friends and family and entered the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy (Mercedarian Friars). www.orderofmercy.com Having made his simple profession (first vows of chastity, poverty, obedience and redemption) in the vowed religious life, he continues his studies at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia, PA from where he hopes to receive his Master of Divinity Degree next month. Matthew, the son of Tim and Sandy Weaver, was raised in Lake County, and attended NDCL where he was very involved in their sports program. He continued his interest in sports for the beginning of his college career. Shifting his focus he began reflecting more deeply on the Spiritual life and graduated from Ohio Dominican in Columbus, Ohio. Since joining our parish, Matthew has been very involved in the Spiritual and Liturgical Life of the Parish. He has assisted as a Master of Ceremonies for many of our Masses and for our Corpus Christi Processions. He has also been very helpful in the training and guiding of our Altar Servers. Following graduation from college he responded to God’s call to the priesthood and began his preparations with the Institute of Christ the King; a society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right whose goal is the honor of God and the sanctification of priests in the service of the Church and souls. Their specific aim is missionary: to spread the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ in all the spheres of human life. www.institute-christ-king.org Having begun his preparations in Chicago, Matthew is now in their seminary in Gricigliano, very close to Florence, Italy. He will receive the habit of the Institute and tonsure in July. Please keep these fine men in your prayers. Let us pray that we will be blessed with many more vocations to the priesthood and religious life from our parish. May God’s blessings be yours this Easter Season.

Kennedy SUNDAY God has called each one of us by name, yet called each of us to different paths in life. He called Saint Francis to a life of joyful poverty, in which Francis had no place to rest his head, or things to call his own. God called Joseph of Arimathea to a life of wealth, rich enough so that when Christ died, Joseph could give His body a place to rest and rise. While most of us will not be called to the extremes of either Saint Francis or Joseph of Arimathea, we pray for the grace to be good stewards of what talents and resources we have been given, using what we have, not for selfish gain, but to build the kingdom of God, and to bring others to Him.
