Acts 4:8-12

Responsorial Psalm
118:1, 8-9, 21-23, 26, 28. 29

Second Reading
1 John 3:1-2

Gospel
John 10:11-18

In St. John’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims, I am the Good Shepherd, giving us the beautiful image of Him as shepherd attending to us, His flock. In contrast to the hired hand that bolts at the first sign of trouble, Jesus will never desert His flock. However, he is concerned for other sheep that do not belong to this fold.

St. Peter, in the Acts of the Apostles, reminds us that there is no salvation through anyone else but Christ. In St. John’s First Letter, he affirms that we are children of God through the great love of the Father for us. And yet, he observes that the world does not know Him.

Evangelization is the consistent theme in these readings. One way to take the Catholic faith to the streets is to join a local St. Paul Street Evangelization team, or to volunteer at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter serving our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

Jesus, Good Shepherd, You tend your flock unceasingly and know our every need. May Your crook and Your staff always protect us and guide us through all the troubles of this life.

Good Jesus, remember us in Your infinite mercy, set us among the blessed of Your Father, and save us in the time of trial, O Savior of the world, living and reigning with the Father and the Holy Spirit now and forever.

Amen.

“God has, in fact, thought of us from eternity and has loved us as unique individuals. He has called every one of us by name, as the good shepherd ‘calls His sheep by name.’

-Pope John Paul II
