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 />

ST. BRENDAN CHURCH<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 />

Fr. Dan

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).
