THE SHEPHERDS FLOCK

In Christian art, the earliest depictions of Jesus
Christ were not of his crucifixion or of his resurrection.
The first known renderings of Jesus show him as the
Good Shepherd, the image put before us in todays
readings. In the Gospel passage Jesus reveals that he is
the shepherd and his followers are his flock.
In the first and second readings, we are told more
about the flock. The passage from Acts assures us that
both Jews and Gentiles are called to follow Jesus. It is
faith, not birthright, that makes us part of the company
of believers. In the passage from the book of Revelation we learn that the flock that follows this Lamb of
God will also be washed in his blood. They will endure
a time of trial before they enjoy eternal life. Be assured
of the promise, we are told, but know there is a price to
be paid.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Just as the early church consecrated women living alone
in the world, today that consecration is available to women
who take solemn vows as cloistered nuns (different from
religious sisters), women who follow a way of life in communities called secular institutes, and laywomen. Oddly, the
ritual is not permitted for religious sisters. The prayers talk
about the womans self-gift to Christ, and her self-gift to the
Church. Up until recent years, this was a solemn ceremony
performed only for cloistered nuns under certain circumstances. In its new form, we have a ritual that revives a very
ancient and little-known way of life. Today, a woman can
live independently at home, without association with any
religious sisterhood or institute, yet be consecrated to holiness and service. Normally, a ring and/or a veil may be given
in the liturgy of consecration. It is a rite very different from
religious profession, where the sister makes promises or
vows, and is rather an expression of approval and blessing
for a way of life already embraced. Unlike ancient times,
which valued actual virginity, the new rite may be celebrated for anyone provided there has never been a marriage
and the woman has always lived a virtuous life.

CZY DAJ SI PROWADZI JEZUSOWI? W Niedziel Dobrego Pasterza
prosimy Pana o dwie rzeczy o ask nowych powoa, kapaskich i zakonnych,
oraz o to, aby powoani byli pasterzami wedug Serca Dobrego Pasterza. Stawiamy
te dwa pytania. Czy suchamy gosu Boga i idziemy za Nim? Czy suchamy tych,
ktrzy uobecniaj Boga tu na ziemi? Pan pragnie zbawi kadego czowieka. Pouczy
nas o tym Jezus Chrystus, kiedy poleci swym uczniom, aby szli na krace wiata i gosili
Ewangeli wszelkiemu stworzeniu (por. Mk 16,15). W szczeglny sposb nakaz ten
realizowa w. Pawe, do ktrego Chrystus powiedzia: Ustanowiem ci wiatoci dla
pogan, aby by zbawieniem a po krace ziemi (I czytanie). Aposto Narodw peni
swe posannictwo najpierw wrd ydw, goszc im sowo Boe i zachcajc do
wytrwania w asce Boga, a nastpnie wrd pogan. Dziki posudze w. Pawa,
doskonaego naladowcy Chrystusa, Dobrego Pasterza, ci, ktrzy otworzyli si na sowo
Boe i ask Boga, przyodziewali si w biae szaty, stajc si ludem Pana i Jego owczarni (II czytanie). Jezus
Chrystus, Dobry Pasterz, chce, aby Jego owce szy za Nim i suchay Jego gosu. Pragnie, aby peniy Jego
wol, naladoway Go i upodabniay si do Niego. Jezus chce, abymy posiedli ycie wieczne i nie zginli na
wieki (Ewangelia). Dlatego posya nam gosicieli Boej prawdy i szafarzy Boej aski.
Promy Pana, aby da nam pasterzy, ktrzy, podobnie jak w. Pawe, bd mieli serca wedug Serca Dobrego
Pasterza. Aby nigdzie nie brakowao tych, ktrzy bd suy Jego owcom, w Jego owczarni. ks. W. Seremak
