Desde el Escritorio de P. Pat

This fourth Sunday of Easter is known as Good Shepherd Sunday. The Gospel presents to us the figure of Jesus as the Good Shepherd who is willing to give His life for His sheep. In many parts of the world, this Sunday is dedicated to pray for Vocations, especially vocations to the priesthood in diocesan and religious life. It is no secret that, today, the Church in the United States, is suffering from a lack of vocations to the priesthood, brotherhood and sisterhood. It is a vocation shortage that is serious. The reasons for this are varied and complex— there is no simple answer as to why this is so. Certainly, a good part of this, I believe, has to do with the rapid and growing secularization of our society. We are choosing, even we Catholics and Christians, to live in society as “if God does not exist”. This is impacting every aspect of our way of life, and it most certainly is impacting how our young people are being raised and formed. If God has little significance in their daily lives, it becomes harder and harder for them to recognize His call and to respond to it. There is no doubt that God is calling young men and women to serve Him, but if His gentle voice is being overpowered but the harsh noises of society, He cannot force people to listen and to respond. All of this is having a serious impact on the life of our faith community, the Church! Here, in our parish of Saint John Bosco, we are still very blessed— we have a religious community of eight (8!) Salesian priests serving the needs of the parish. Recently, I was talking to a religious sister who is working in a parish where there is one daily Mass only three times a week and, if there is a funeral, that must serve as the daily Mass! She could not believe we have four daily Masses a day! What can we do about this situation? Many things! But, for now, I want to share with you three: pray, encourage, identify. First, we must pray for vocations as if our spiritual lives depend on it— and they do!! Without priests there is no Eucharist and without the Eucharist there is no Church. We need to wake-up to the fact that our Catholic life depends on the priesthood or we die! Jesus tells us beg the Lord to send harvesters into the vineyard and He will do it. We need to beg the Lord for Vocations. Every Sunday in our Prayer of the Faithful we make this prayer; do we continue to pray throughout the week? Do we offer our sacrifices and sufferings for vocations? Do we ever make a Holy Hour begging for Vocations? Do we offer our Rosary for Vocations? We must pray for Vocations! Second, we need to encourage vocations from within our own families. I remember once talking to a man who complained because an Indian Salesian was celebrating the Italian Mass. I asked him: “Do you have a son to be priest?” He looked at me in shock and said: “I would never encourage my son to be a priest”! Unfortunately, he could not recognize how sad his statement was. Priests don’t grow on trees; they come from families. Many time we are okay with that so long as it is someone else’s family! We need to encourage vocations from within our own families! Are we doing that? Third, we need to identify vocations. Often, one of the things we hear from young men is “no one ever asked me to consider the priesthood”. Asking is not just the job of the parish priest— it is the job of all of us in the community. If you see or know a young person who shows signs of a vocation, ask him/her if he ever thought about it. Sometimes, that is all it takes and a seed is planted and the young person listens more attentively. Vocations is the business of all of us. As we pray the Lord to send workers to the harvest, let’s commit ourselves to work with Him in searching for those workers! God bless you!

Este cuarto domingo de Pascua es conocido como el Domingo de Buen Pastor . El Evangelio nos presenta la figura de Jesús como el Buen Pastor que está dispuesto a dar Su vida por sus ovejas. En muchas partes del mundo, este domingo está dedicado a orar por las Vocaciones, especialmente las vocaciones al sacerdocio en vida diocesana y religiosa. No es ningún secreto que, hoy, la Iglesia en los Estados Unidos sufre de falta de vocaciones al sacerdocio, y a la vida Religiosa. Es una escasez de vocaciones que es grave. Las razones para esto son variadas y complejas; no hay una respuesta simple sobre por qué esto es así. Ciertamente, una buena parte de esto, creo, tiene que ver con la rápida y creciente secularización de nuestra sociedad. Estamos eligiendo, incluso nosotros, católicos y cristianos, para vivir en una sociedad como "si Dios no existiera". Esto está afectando todos los aspectos de nuestra forma de vida, y sin duda está afectando la forma en que nuestros jóvenes se crían y se forman. Si Dios tiene poco significado en su vida diaria, se les hace cada vez más difícil reconocer su llamado y responderle. No hay duda de que Dios está llamando a hombres y mujeres para que lo sirvan, pero si Su suave voz está siendo vencida, por los ruidos fuertes de la sociedad, El no puede obligar a la gente a escuchar y responder. Todo esto está teniendo un impacto serio en la vida de nuestra comunidad de fe, la Iglesia! Aquí, en nuestra parroquia de San Juan Bosco, todavía somos muy bendecidos, tenemos una comunidad religiosa de ocho (8!) Sacerdotes salesianos al servicio de las necesidades de la parroquia. Recientemente, estaba hablando con una hermana religiosa que trabaja en una parroquia donde hay una misa diaria solo tres veces por semana y, si hay un funeral, debe servir como la misa diaria. ¡No podía creer que tuviéramos cuatro Misas diarias al día! Qué podemos hacer respecto esta situación? ¡Muchas cosas! Pero, por ahora, quiero compartir con ustedes tres: recen, animen, identifiquen. Primero, debemos rezar por las vocaciones como si nuestras vidas espirituales dependieran de ello— y lo hacen! Sin sacerdotes no hay Eucaristía y sin la Eucaristía no hay Iglesia. Nosotros necesitamos despertar al hecho de que nuestra vida católica depende del sacerdocio o moriremos! Jesús nos dice que le roguemos al Señor a que envíe trabajadores en la viña y Él lo hará. Necesitamos suplicar al Señor por las Vocaciones. Todos los domingos en nuestra oración de los Fieles, hacemos esta oración; seguimos orando durante toda la semana? ¿Ofrecemos nuestros sacrificios y sufrimientos por las vocaciones? ¿Alguna vez hacemos una Hora Santa pidiendo por las Vocaciones? ¿Ofrecemos nuestro Rosario por las Vocaciones? Debemos rezar por las vocaciones! En segundo lugar, debemos animar las vocaciones dentro de nuestras propias familias. Recuerdo que una vez hablé con un hombre que se quejaba porque un Salesiano Hindú estaba celebrando la misa en Italiano. Le pregunté: "¿Tienes un hijo para ser sacerdote?". Me miró en estado de shock y dijo: "Nunca apoyaría a mi hijo a que sea un sacerdote"! Desafortunadamente, no pudo reconocer cuán triste fue su respuesta. Los sacerdotes no crecen en los árboles; ellos vienen de familias. Muchas veces estamos de acuerdo con eso siempre y cuando sea la familia de otra persona! Necesitamos apoyar las vocaciones dentro de nuestra propia familia! ¿Estamos haciendo eso? Tercero, necesitamos identificar vocaciones. A menudo, uno de las cosas que escuchamos de los jóvenes es "nunca nadie me dijo que considerara el sacerdocio". Pedir no es solo el trabajo del párroco; es el trabajo de todos nosotros en la comunidad. Si ve o conoce a un joven que muestra signos de vocación, pregúntele si alguna vez lo pensó. A veces, eso es todo lo que se necesita y se planta la semilla y el joven escucha con más atención. La vocación es el asunto de todos nosotros. Mientras oramos al Señor para que envíe trabajadores a la cosecha, comprométanos a trabajar con Él en la búsqueda de esos trabajadores! Dios te bendiga!

O quarto Domingo da Pascoa e conhecido como o Domingo do Bom Pastor. O evangelho apresenta Jesus como o Bom Pastor que veio trazer vida para as suas ovelhas. Esse domingo também e o dia de rezar pelas vocações, especialmente sacerdotais e religiosas. Na América a Igreja sofre por falta de vocações, especialmente ao sacerdócio e a vida religiosa e o motivo e complexo, pois a sociedade se torna cada vez mais secularizada. Nos católicos vivemos nessa sociedade que insiste em tratar Deus como se ele não existisse. Isso gera um grande impacto, especialmente nos jovens que vão perdendo os valores na sua formação, e vai se tornando cada vez mais difícil os jovens optar pela vida religiosa e sacerdotal. Não há dúvida que Deus continua chamando jovens para servi-lo, mas eles enfrentam os contra valores da sociedade em que vivem. Deus chama, mas não obriga ninguém a segui -lo. Nos da paroquia Dom Bosco somos abençoados com oito padres para nos servir. Recentemente eu comentava com uma irmã que temos quatro missas diárias, além dos funerais que são imprevisíveis. Poucas paroquias tem o privilégio que nós temos. O que podemos fazer pelas vocações? Muitas coisas como: rezar, animar os jovens e convida-los para que pensem na vida religiosa e sacerdotal. Vamos trabalhar pelas vocações, pois sem padres não há Eucaristia, não há igreja. Jesus nos diz: “Pedi e ao Senhor da messe que envie operários para a sua vinha”. Todos os domingos fazemos uma prece pelas vocações. O que fazemos pelas vocações? Fazemos hora santa, rezamos o terço, fazemos algum sacrifício? Nos devemos apoiar as vocações especialmente em nossas famílias. Uma vez um homem reclamava que um padre indiano celebrava a missa em italiano não muito claro. Eu o questionei: “Você não tem um filho para ser padre”? Ele ficou chocado e me disse: “eu nunca permitiria que meu filho fosse padre”. Que resposta triste! Padre não nasce nas arvores, mas nas famílias. Como tratamos desse assunto em nossas famílias? Nos devemos identificar vocacionados. E comum ouvir dos jovens, “nunca ninguém me questionou sobre vocação”. Cuidar das vocações e missão de toda a comunidade. Se você conhece alguém que dá sinal de vocação procure incentivar essa pessoa. Nós podemos ajudar a desabrochar as sementes que estão no coração dos jovens. Vocação e responsabilidade de todos nos. Precisamos nos comprometer com ela e pedir ao Senhor da Messe que mande operários para a sua vinha e fazer a nossa parte convidando aos jovens a pensar nesse assunto. Que Deus te abençoe!

Czwarta niedziela Wielkanocy nazywana jest niedziela dobrego pasterza. Ewangelia prezentuje nam Jezusa jako dobrego pasterza, gotowego oddać życie za swoje owce. W wielu częściach świata niedziela ta poświęcona jest modlitwom o powołania kapłańskie. Nie jest żadna tajemnica , ze w dzisiejszym swiecie kościół podupada ze względu na brak powołań do posług kapłańskich. Staje się to poważnym problemem. Przyczyny tego stanu rzeczy są rożne i bardzo kompleksowe. Nie ma na to jednoznacznej odpowiedzi. Uważam jednak, ze laicyzacja i zeswieczczenie społeczeństwa odgrywa tu ogromna role . Nawet i my katolicy żyjemy w takim otoczeniu, jakby Bog nie istniał. Ma to wpływ na aspekty naszej egzystencji i w dużej mierze wpływa rownież na sposób w jaki wychowujemy i kształtujemy umysły naszych dzieci.Jezeli Bog niewiele znaczy w ich życiu tym trudniej będzie dla nich usłyszeć jego głos i odpowiedzieć. Nie ma żadnych watpliwości , ze Bog wola młodych mężczyzn i kobiety do swojej posługi. Jeżeli jednak jego delikatny głos jest zagłuszony wrzaskiem tłumu, nie jest w stanie sforsować ludzi , ażeby go słuchali i odpowiedzieli na jego wołania. Wszystko to ma poważny wpływ na kościół i środowisko. W naszej parafii Don Bosco jesteśmy uprzywilejowani. Mamy ośmiu księży Salezjanów służących w rożnych potrzebach. Musimy się modlic o powołania. Bez księży nie będzie eucharystii ani kościoła. Należy sobie uświadomić, ze życie nasze zależy od księży Musimy błagać Boga o powołania kapłańskie. Zróbmy to poprzez codzienne modlitwy , różaniec. Musimy promować powołania w naszych rodzinach. Przypomina mi się rozmowa z pewnym panem który narzekał , ze msze włoska odprawiał ksiądz z Indii. Zapytałem go: czy masz syna który by zechciał zostać kapłanem? Popatrzył na mnie zszokowany i powiedział: nigdy nie chciałbym aby mój syn został księdzem. Na nieszczęście mężczyzna ten nie zdawał sobie sprawy jak przykre i żałosne było jego stwierdzenie. Księża nie wyrastają na drzewach. Oni pochodzą z rodzin. Czujemy się bezpiecznie jeśli powołanie nastąpiło w innej rodzinie. Czy rozmawiamy na temat powołań w naszej rodzinie? Należy zidentyfikować powołania. Często młodzi ludzie stwierdzają : nikt mnie nie pytał , abym rozważył kapłaństwo. Jeżeli znasz osobę , która okazuje znaki powołania, zapytaj czy kiedykolwiek myślała o kapłaństwie. Powołania powinny być na uwadze wszystkich. Z Bożym błogosławieństwem.
