#catholicfaith #gospel #bible #sundayhomilies #goodshepherdchurch #goodshepherd # ==================================================================== Readings: Acts 13: 14, 43-52; Psalm 100: 1-2, 3, 5; Revelation 7: 9, 14b-17; John 10: 27-30. ==================================================================== #The_readings_for_the_4th_Sunday_of_Easter_Year_C, present #Jesus_as_the_Good_Shepherd who lovingly lays down His life for His sheep, calling His followers to listen attentively to His voice and follow Him in faithfulness. In the first reading from Acts, Paul, and Barnabas boldly proclaim the Good News. They are driven by their call to be shepherds, guiding others towards the love of Christ. However, this mission is not met without challenge; they face rejection and hostility. Yet they continue to share the message, knowing that their efforts are part of a larger divine plan. It is a vivid reminder that while we may encounter resistance on our faith journey, we are called to persevere, spreading God's love to all. Today's Psalm beautifully calls us to joyful worship, urging us to "enter his gates with thanksgiving." It celebrates our identity as God's people, a flock under His care. This joyous expression roots us in our identity as God's beloved. When we recognize that we are part of His flock, we find true joy and purpose in our lives, which calls us to be grateful even in difficult times. In the second reading from Revelation, we catch a glimpse of the heavenly banquet, where a multitude stands before the Lamb, clothed in white. This passage offers us hope and assurance that our struggles are not in vain. The image of being shepherded to springs of living water speaks to the peace and nourishment that awaits us. It reminds us that God is always leading us toward healing and renewal. ======================================================================== ‪@MyCatholicLifeJMJ‬ ‪@jesuscalls‬ ‪@thewordofgod533‬ #christinaperri ‪@ewtnnews‬
