SUNDAY LITURGY 
1st Reading Acts 2: 14a, 36-41, 2nd Reading 1 Peter 2: 20b – 
25, Gospel John 10: 1 – 105 
 
Theme: The Good Shepherd 
We are reminded that a shepherd is a guide and a leader 
and so the fourth Sunday after Easter is called “Vocations 
Sunday”: a day of special prayer for those who are 
“shepherds” in the Church. There is only one “shepherd” 
and that is Jesus. We are his flock 
 
Psalm: The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall 
want. 
Acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia. 
I am the good shepherd, says the Lord. 
I know my sheep and my own know me. 
Alleluia. 
PRAYER REQUESTS 
 
If someone in your family (or friends) would like us to pray 
for them if they are sick or in the hospital, please take a 
notice from the back of the church and return it to the 
office. This is to allow us to comply with GDPR instructions.
