Fourth Sunday of Easter  – April 21st, 2024
On the 4th Sunday of Easter, we hear a Gospel reading in which Jesus proclaims that He is the Good Shepherd.
The shepherd has a special relationship with his flock of sheep.  He cares for them intimately and they recognize his voice and will follow him without question.  The sheep know that they can trust their shepherd unconditionally.  The bond between the shepherd and his flock is unshakeable; the shepherd will even die for his sheep. How wonderful that we have this special relationship with Jesus!

On this “Good Shepherd Sunday” we also pray for vocations to the Church and for those who serve us as our earthly shepherds.
