The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.<br />
Psalm 23
<strong>Fourth</strong> <strong>Sunday</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Easter</strong><br />
May 15, 2011<br />
He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross,<br />
so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness.<br />
— 1 Peter 2:24a<br />
IN NEED OF A<br />
SHEPHERD<br />
F or a while it was<br />
very fashionable to own pigs as<br />
pets. The publicity surrounding<br />
these creatures informed us that<br />
they were—contrary to their<br />
popular image—very clean animals,<br />
and also quite smart. Sad to<br />
say, sheep will most likely never<br />
enjoy this sort <strong>of</strong> domestic vogue.<br />
They are neither clean nor smart<br />
and are largely defenseless when<br />
left on their own, even in large<br />
numbers. The biblical image <strong>of</strong><br />
us as the flock <strong>of</strong> sheep is not a<br />
particularly flattering one. Sheep<br />
without a shepherd are truly sad,<br />
because they most likely will perish<br />
either from their inability to<br />
fend for themselves or from their<br />
lack <strong>of</strong> defenses against predators.<br />
Placing ourselves in the<br />
heart <strong>of</strong> this unflattering image<br />
can reinforce our faith. Until we<br />
come to a pr<strong>of</strong>ound realization <strong>of</strong><br />
how much we need a shepherd,<br />
we cannot appreciate how deeply<br />
blessed we are to have been<br />
given a Shepherd, one who laid<br />
down his life for us and was<br />
raised to life eternal in the Spirit,<br />
so he might guide us and we<br />
might follow him in faith forever.<br />

PART I<br />
REVISED ROMAN<br />
MISSAL<br />
THE INTRODUCTORY RITES<br />
I Confess to<br />
Almighty God<br />
With these words we begin a venerable<br />
prayer within the Roman Catholic tradition.<br />
The Confiteor is the first <strong>of</strong> three<br />
forms <strong>of</strong> the Act <strong>of</strong> Penitence, which<br />
takes place in most Masses immediately<br />
following the Greeting and Introduction.<br />
Earlier forms <strong>of</strong> the Confiteor included<br />
a long list <strong>of</strong> saints who were called<br />
upon to intercede on our behalf. In time<br />
this list was reduced to the Blessed<br />
Virgin Mary, Saint Michael the<br />
Archangel, and Saint John the Baptist.<br />
In the current form, we call upon<br />
“blessed Mary ever -Virgin, all the<br />
Angels and Saints,” and then “you, my<br />
brothers and sisters, to pray for me to<br />
the Lord our God.” This confession<br />
begins with personal admissions, but<br />
concludes by acknowledging our<br />
interdependency with all members <strong>of</strong><br />
the Church, beginning with those in<br />
Heaven and ending with our brothers<br />
and sisters on earth.<br />
In comparing the 1973 English translation,<br />
which we know well, with the<br />
revised translation expected in 2011, we<br />
see that the revision gives a much more<br />
literal translation <strong>of</strong> the Missale’s Latin<br />
text, now fully translating peccavi nimis<br />
(“I have greatly sinned”) and mea culpa,<br />
mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. True<br />
enough, we are sinners, but our hope is<br />
not grounded in our own righteousness,<br />
but rather in the merits <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />
SHEPHERDING<br />
A shepherd’s duties<br />
demand much more than holding a<br />
carved staff and calmly watching the<br />
flock. The shepherd must do everything<br />
from ensuring a steady supply<br />
<strong>of</strong> feed, to assisting births, to treating<br />
illnesses, to guarding against<br />
predator attacks. The shepherd can<br />
never leave the sheep untended.<br />
Sheep have been domesticated for<br />
ten thousand years. In ancient times<br />
the Jews valued sheep - especially<br />
lambs, the favored animal <strong>of</strong> sacrifice<br />
to God. The scriptures make<br />
frequent references to sheep and<br />
shepherds, culminating in the images<br />
<strong>of</strong> Jesus, the Good Shepherd<br />
and the Lamb sacrificed for our sins.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> us are irritated by the<br />
thought <strong>of</strong> ourselves as sheep and<br />
disappointed with our shepherds -<br />
namely our bishops, priests, and<br />
deacons. How much better would we<br />
be as Jesus’ “little flock” if we stuck<br />
together and followed the Good<br />
Shepherd, and how much stronger<br />
would our clergy shepherds be if we<br />
not only showed support for their<br />
efforts, but also helped them to hear<br />
the voice <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit in the<br />
flock that they guide<br />

News Around the <strong>Parish</strong><br />
Pastor’s Corner<br />
Welcoming our New <strong>Parish</strong>ioners – <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Brendan</strong> is blessed to have such a warm and welcoming community<br />
that it attracts many people to our Church. For those <strong>of</strong> you who are “old timers,” meaning if you’ve been here<br />
for a year or more, and you see a face you don’t recognize, please don’t hesitate to say “hello” and introduce<br />
yourself to them. I’m sure we’ve all been in a situation where we are the “new” person, and nothing makes us<br />
feel more comfortable than a friendly person with a warm smile and a kind heart. And if you are the “new”<br />
person, I find that if I extend myself and introduce myself to those around me, that others will kindly reciprocate.<br />
So don’t be afraid to say “hello” to us. We promise not to bite. I want to thank the Welcome Committee<br />
for helping us to welcome new parishioners at our 9:30am <strong>Sunday</strong> Mass today. We had talked about<br />
welcoming new parishioners not just in November, at our parish dinner, but semi-annually. So we thought it<br />
would also be appropriate for us to welcome new parishioners today, on the eve <strong>of</strong> the feast <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Brendan</strong>,<br />
who was one who reached out to others with the love <strong>of</strong> Christ. So to all our new parishioners, a great big<br />
WELCOME!!!<br />
Blessed John Paul II – I’ve been asked, whether John Paul is now a saint. And that is a good question.<br />
Technically, he’s not a saint yet, according to the Church’s <strong>of</strong>ficial procedure for naming saints. The church<br />
follows 3 steps in designating someone a saint. The first step, the person must be nominated for sainthood.<br />
Typically, a bishop nominates a person after he finds evidence <strong>of</strong> heroic virtue. Then, the case is brought to<br />
the Vatican, to the Congregation for the Cause <strong>of</strong> Saints. After their evaluation and approval, then the Pope<br />
proclaims the candidate as “Venerable,” which means that the person is a role model <strong>of</strong> Catholic virtues.<br />
If the person is shown to be responsible for a posthumous miracle, then the person is “beatified.” So our<br />
former Pope is now known as Blessed John Paul. For a person to be considered a saint, the Church awaits a<br />
confirmation from heaven, by a second posthumous miracle. It is after this confirmation from heaven that a<br />
person is then canonized a saint. But remember, it is not the Church who makes a saint. It is the person’s<br />
own holiness, and God’s grace that makes a person a saint. The Church has its procedure simply to<br />
investigate and to ensure that all candidates are indeed models <strong>of</strong> holiness that we can learn and imitate.<br />
Growing in the Spirit – According to our <strong>Parish</strong> Survey, respondents have expressed Spirituality to be the<br />
category that we should give our highest priority. As the Advisory Board and I are meeting to plan concrete<br />
steps by which we will work to help our parish grow in our spiritual life, in the meantime, I would like to<br />
highlight the upcoming Catholic Charismatic Renewal Convention. The Charismatic Renewal is a movement<br />
in the Catholic Church that strives to help everyday Catholics be attuned to the movement <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit in<br />
their lives. It was through the Renewal that I came back to the Catholic Church and I am grateful for its<br />
influence in my life, as I’ve learned to be more sensitive to the presence <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit in my life. At this<br />
Memorial Day weekend, the seven northern California Dioceses will be hosting the 24 th Annual Catholic<br />
Charismatic Convention at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The opening celebration will begin on Friday<br />
night, with praise and worship at 7pm, and Mass at 8pm, celebrated by our Auxiliary Bishop William Justice.<br />
Workshops will be available on Saturday and <strong>Sunday</strong>, with speakers like Fr. Chris Crotty coming to us from<br />
Kentucky, Ms. Martha Sardina from Texas, and Mr. Richard Lane from Missouri.<br />
See http://www.ncrcspirit.org/ for more information. Flyers are also available in the bookrack in the foyer.<br />
The closing Mass will be at the Santa Clara Convention center on <strong>Sunday</strong>, 5/29 with praise and worship<br />
beginning at 2:30pm and Mass beginning at about 3:30pm. Hope to see you there.<br />
Peace,<br />

It has been a tradition here at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Brendan</strong> <strong>Parish</strong> that each<br />
mom in attendance at the <strong>Sunday</strong> Masses is<br />
given a rose on Mother’s Day. In keeping with<br />
this tradition, roses were handed out by the<br />
altar servers at all the Masses last weekend.<br />
This year, two parishioners (who wish to<br />
remain anonymous), <strong>of</strong>fered to donate the<br />
roses. We would like to thank them for their<br />
generosity.<br />

CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD<br />
This program takes place during the <strong>Sunday</strong> 9:30 AM Mass.<br />
After the Collect (Opening Prayers), the children are sent forth from<br />
the Church to their specific areas where they will be guided through<br />
prayers, songs, stories, and other activities to a meaningful celebration<br />
<strong>of</strong> the WORD OF GOD proclaimed on that <strong>Sunday</strong>.<br />
They are led back to the Church at the Presentation <strong>of</strong> the Gifts.<br />
Children under five may be accompanied by a parent who will help<br />
them in their activities.<br />
Kindergarten and older children will participate in a more advanced<br />
level. Their parents will remain in the Church.<br />
This program is carried out by a team <strong>of</strong> parents who prepare together<br />
and take turns in leading the celebrations. Any parent is welcome to<br />
join this team. For more information, please contact Tara Donohue at<br />

Our Lenten journey has taken us from the desert <strong>of</strong> Christ’s temptations<br />
to the garden <strong>of</strong> Christ’s resurrection. Beginning at the <strong>Easter</strong> Vigil and<br />
throughout the Great Fifty Days <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Easter</strong> Season, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Brendan</strong>’s altar<br />
will be transformed into a blossoming garden. You can help in this transformation.<br />
Those who wish to donate a lily in memory <strong>of</strong> loved ones who have died<br />
or in honor <strong>of</strong> someone may write their names on the remembrance cards<br />
which are available in the back <strong>of</strong> the church. A list <strong>of</strong> all those to be remembered<br />
or honored during these <strong>Easter</strong> days will be included in the<br />
<strong>Sunday</strong> bulletin during the <strong>Easter</strong> season. We will be replenishing the<br />
flowers in the Church throughout the fifty (50) days <strong>of</strong> <strong>Easter</strong> and so remembrances<br />
may be arranged until the Feast <strong>of</strong> Pentecost ( June 12,<br />
2011).
