Gospel yesterday May 11, 2025 on the Good Shepherd and the homily of the Holy Pope Leo XIV

It is more fun criticizing

John 10:   27 -30

Jesus said:
“My sheep hear my voice;
I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
No one can take them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand.
The Father and I are one.”

The Gospel was about the Good Shepherd.   The Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ takes care of the flock.  Jesus knows His flock and they obey Him

In relation to the Homily of the Holy Pope and in connection with Mothers Day, he emphasized that now that he is the Shepherd, great patience and sacrifice must be exercised to be a bridge to those who were separated from the church and their mother.  The bond must be based on love of Mother Mary, and be practiced not by being above others but by being with them.  As he saw in his missionary work in Peru.

The Roman Catholic Conclave has elected a new Pope

It is more fun criticizing

The 133 strong cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church has elected a new Pope, an American,  Robert Francis Provost, as the 267th Pope.   He is named Pope Leo XIV.  He is the first American to be Pope

He holds dual citizenship:   American and Peruvian.  He is said to be trombonist and used to play at jazz spots in Chicago.   

Sadly the PHL Cardinal Tagle, who was publicized to be the first Asian Pope did not make it.   The new Pope has been several times to the Philippines as an Agustinian.  He was in Iloilo when he visited Unversity of San Agustin

What will be the direction of the Catholics under Pope Leo XIV:   return to the basics and fundamental truth, to be progressive just like Pope Francis, or somewhere in the middle.   This is the cross road for the Catholics under a new leader.
