SaturdayrApril zo:
One of the first things parents of a newborn learn is how incredibly strong
their baby's grip is. Our daughter, like most newboms, clenched onto her father's and my fingers immediately after birth-and she wouldn't let go! We called it her death grip. Yes, it's a reflex, but it's one that reaches into your soul. You realize quickly what a hold this person has on you-physically and emotionally. On this Good Shepherd Sunday, Jesus speaks in the Gospel about not letting
anyone take his flock out of his hand. His hold on us is even tighter than a newborn's, but it's certainly not a death grip. Ouite the opposite-it's a life grip. No matter how far we scatter or how wide a path we walk, Jesus always has us in his hands. He offers us life abundant here on earth and life eternal in heaven. Parents of newborns have such an emotional response to their child's grip because they've spent so much tirne with this child-feeling her movements in utero, seeing his picture in ultrasounds, preparing their lives for this new being. There's an intimate connection Sheep respond loyally to their shepherd's voice because they spend so much
time together in the fields. The same must be true for our relationship with our Good Shepherd. Unless we're cotrnmitted to spending significant time with him, we can't expect to benefit from his life grip. He always holds us, but we need to offer him that same devoted attention and intimacy. Where can we find more time ln our week to behold-and be held by*our God? I anel Esker

Everyone is welcome to celebrate the Eucharistthere's only one paft they can't par[icipate in. That might sound like a cop-out, but Catholics believe that the Eucharist is the actual Body and Blood of Christ. For it to be tme communion, everyone who receives it must believe the same thing about it. In its Guidelircs -fo, tl" Rercptian of Communion, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops says, *Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of...the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumsances by other Christians requires permission" as outlined in "canon law...-All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayer l desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another."

Revelation
Are we excluding to make people feel left out, or are we excluding to uphold the dignity and sanctity of the Eucharist?
27:7-5a
John 13:31--33a,34-€5
In his homily on April L7,20L3 Pope Francis called each of us to evangelize. AII of the baptized must "announce fesus with our life, with our witness and with our words," the pope said. ."When we do this, the church becomes a mother church that bears children," he said.
