I pray these lines find all doing well! All is great here at Incarnation Central, keeping busy but winding down slowly – we seem to be sliding into the summer mode – not as much activity. Today we hear about sheep, shepherds and “the gate.” Jesus is obviously our Shepherd – our Good Shepherd – the best! We are the sheep, and it is wonderful that we have a shepherd to follow. Sheep, however, are pretty much known as Nature’s “D” student, they are not the sharpest of tacks. - LOL
Sheep can be very pig headed (animal pun fully intended.) They are strong willed and stubborn; they also tend to make the wrong decisions when left to themselves – sound familiar?!? I’m pretty sure that is why we are referred to as sheep. We who are following Jesus are on the right track, BUT, if people are not following the Lord, I promise that they are following something or someone and it is not leading to eternal life.
Jesus calling himself the gate would have made for a great visual back at the time of Jesus, but for us who are not shepherds – it can be lost on us. You see, back in the day – sheep pens were one, very high, circular solid wall, with a rather narrow opening for the sheep to pass through. Once the sheep were inside the pen the shepherd would then stand in the doorway thus completing the circular containment. In this way he could be very sure about the safety and presence of the sheep. Jesus being “the gate” watches over and protects us.
The priests are giving you a wonderful gift this weekend – we are not preaching. This weekend our Deacons will preach – your welcome!
God Bless You!
Love, Fr. Mike

Rezo para que estas líneas encuentren todo bien! Todo aquí esta formidable en Encarnacion Central, manteniéndonos ocupados pero relajándonos lentamente, parece que estamos entrando hacia el modo del verano, con menos actividad.
Hoy escuchamos sobre ovejas, pastores y " la puerta. "Jesús es nuestro Pastor, nuestro Buen Pastor, el mejor. Somos las ovejas, y es maravilloso que tengamos un pastor a quien seguir. Las ovejas, sin embargo, son más o menos como el estudiante "D" de la Naturaleza, no son las más astutas. -
LOL Las ovejas pueden tener las cabezas duras como los cerdos (palabras con animales totalmente intencionado.) Son de carácter fuerte y terco, también tienden a tomar decisiones equivocadas cuando se les deja solos, ¿suena familiar?!?
Estoy bastante seguro de que por eso se nos conoce como ovejas. Nosotros, los que seguimos a Jesús, estamos en el camino correcto, PERO, si las personas no siguen al Señor, les prometo que están siguiendo algo o a alguien y no están conduciendo a la vida eterna.
Jesús llamándose a sí mismo “la puerta” era un gran visual en la época de El, pero para nosotros que no somos pastores, podemos perder ese visual. En el pasado, los corrales de ovejas eran una pared sólida circular muy alta, con una abertura bastante estrecha para que las ovejas pasaran. Una vez que las ovejas estaban dentro del corral, el pastor se paraba en la puerta, completando así la contención circular. De esta manera, podía estar muy seguro de la seguridad y la presencia de las ovejas. Jesús, siendo "la puerta", nos vigila y nos protege.
Los sacerdotes te van a dar un regalo maravilloso este fin de semana: no estamos predicando. Este fin de semana, nuestros diáconos predicarán, ¡bienvenidos –¡Que Dios los bendigan!
Con amor, Fr. Mike.
