Fourth Sunday of Easter

My Companions pray with me: As we follow Jesus, our loving Good Shepherd, may we bring You glory. Help us know Your love and mercy as we as we repent for our failings and seek to live fully in Your love. May our gratitude for all Your gifts show joy to all the people we encounter. And may we trust that You will provide all we need and share our gifts with others.

Birthdays: Willy Smith (5/5), Molly Norton (5/6), Sharon McKay (5/7), Pat Norton (5/8), Connie Kobza (5/10) ; Anniversaries: Katie (Norton) & Jim Frodl (5/11/07); In memoriam: Leandar Lay (5/6/1975).

Keeping In-touch: Well, I'm still sneezing and blowing my nose! But the blossoms and budding flowers are beautiful. And it's nice enough to clean the garage... that'll take all summer! We're re-grouping at our homestead and looking forward to a birthday party and a wedding at the end of the week.

The Readings: Fourth Sunday of Easter

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.

My comments and an invitation for your comments: As Fr. Foley writes, we often will take being called a sheep as an insult. But in our hearts we know the voice of The Good Shepherd, we know that He calls us by name, we know He seeks all opportunities to set-us-upright. May we quiet our bleats and our cries and listen to His loving call of our name this week.

John
