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.

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
