Mike Barry For a complete list of healing masses in our area visit: www.charismaticsandiego.com If You Want God to Laugh, Make Plans! To let go is to release a God of surprises. In looking over our lives, we must note that we like to exercise control and thus determine our own future. We also prefer to regulate our own destiny and thus shape our own possibilities. We thus take care to manipulate the course of events and so assure their happy outcome. So we find it exceedingly difficult to let God enter our lives and direct the course of future events. Yet to let go is to release a God of surprises. Earlier in the Acts of the Apostles, Luke speaks of Jesus' death in terms of God's set purpose and plan (2:23). Jesus' letting go releases a chain of events beyond human capacity to control. In today's first reading death ushers in resurrection, and rejection yields to glorification. Jesus as the stone rejected by the builders symbolizes God's ability to turn around the greatest human folly. According to Luke's theology, to let go is to release a God of surprises. In today;s gospel Jesus as the ideal shepherd does not drink from laying down his life for his sheep. This laying down of life on the part of Jesus is a free act that fulfills the Father's will. By opening himself up to death, Jesus makes it possible to rise again. To surrender himself to the Father's will, to let go, is to be assured of the Father's love. For John, to let go is to release a God of surprises.

This understanding of Jesus speaks of the closeness of the Lord to all who follow him and respond to his call. Talk about what kinds of things a shepherd does for his sheep. If Jesus is our shepherd, how does he feel about us? What will he do for us? How are we to feel about him? Jr. High Youth group: May 3, 3:30-5pm Come and bring a friend!

Estamos aprendiendo a tomar conciencia como cuidar el planeta tierra. El 22 de abril, en muchos países se celebra el Día de la Tierra. El primer día de la tierra que se celebró fue en el 1970. Por lo tanto estamos hablando de 45 años, donde tenemos que aprovechar esta festividad para enseñar a los niños y a todas las personas, que la buena salud de la Tierra depende mucho de nuestras actitudes frente al medio ambiente. Es necesario que los niños adquieran hábitos positivos en lo que se refiere a la naturaleza, como por ejemplo: - No ensuciar ni contaminar,... No echar basura al suelo. - Utilizar el agua con moderación, tanto en la hora del baño, o de lavar las manos, etc - No hacer daño a los árboles, ni a los animales. Es necesario respetar el bien común. - Reciclar y reutilizar lo que ya no nos sirve, en lugar de desechar. Los niños pueden transformar un simple tarro o envase de algún producto, en un juguete, etc. Debemos enseñar a los niños la importancia de reciclar. - Tener respeto y contacto con la naturaleza, para conocer sus cualidades. - Plantar, sembrar, irrigar y cuidar de la tierra. Haga un huerto casero. - Visitar bosques, granjas, jardines botánicos... - Ver, siempre que sea posible, vídeos sobre la vida en los mares, montañas, etc. Es imprescindible que los niños aprendan, de una forma natural y divertida, el valor que tiene el agua, la tierra, el aire... Como padres, debemos, dar ejemplos. Los niños nos imitan en lo bueno y en lo malo. Jamás hay que 'bajar la guardia' en este sentido. Por lo tanto, la tierra y la vida dan sus recursos, depende en la forma como los estamos cuidando. Inculcando en los niños desde pequeños la necesidad de cuidar y respetar el planeta y que vayan tomando conciencia sobre la importancia de conservar el lugar y el planeta donde vivimos. CEREMONIA DE PRIMERA RECONCILIACION: Solamente estudiantes que vienen por primera vez a confesarse MARTES 28 de abril, 6:30 p.m. deben estar en la Iglesia. Esperamos a todos los catequistas con uniforme. Gracias.
