MESSAGE FROM FR TOM
May 12 -4th Sunday of Easter
Dear Parish Family,
Jesus' statement about giving eternal life to his sheep occurs at a celebration of the Feast of Dedication, i.e., Hanukkah, which commemorates the Maccabees' successful revolution against the Syrian tyrant Antiochus IV, around 194 BC. The evangelist says some of the people celebrating that feast were asking Jesus whether he was the Messiah. The context suggests that they were thinking of a Messiah along the militaristic lines of David the warrior and Judah the Hammer. Jesus' answer implies that he provides ultimate security (“eternal life”) in another way, as shepherd of the flock the Father leads to him. And the rest of the Fourth Gospel helps us understand that one gains access to eternal life by accepting Jesus as sent by the Father and by laying down one's life for one's friends.
Scripture does, on the surface, give us the impression that God is sometimes angry and full of condemnation and violence. Many of the Old Testament stories come to mind: TLogouthe destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the plagues, famine and draught wrought by the prophets at the command of God. But these are anthropomorphisms: a way of speaking about God that reveals how we feel about God when we are unfaithful, sinful, and violent. -
CONCERT 23 MAY at 7 PM - Connelly Hall
World renowned Violinist and vocalist Sunita Buyan comes to St. John's Piermont with the theme of 'The Joy of Giving' as she is the good-will ambassador for the cause of Education for the Children at Risk. The concert will enthrall the audience with a fusion of Western-Eastern music mingled with the rich Cultural music of Assam in North East India. She demystifies the divide between Western and Indian Classical music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI5FNM1JUXg
