FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
First Reading: Acts 4:8-12 Peter explains to the elders that his healing of a cripple was done in the name of Jesus Christ. He reminds he elders that they crucified Jesus, but God rose him up so that all people could be saved in his name. Second Reading: I John 3:1-2 John expresses amazement at the fact that God allowed us to be called his children. Although we are unsure exactly what we will be after this life, we do know that we will see God as he is and be like him. Gospel: John 10:11-18 Jesus speaks of a shepherd working only for pay, with no real concern for the sheep being well cared for. But Jesus is our shepherd and would lay down his own life for all those in his flock. God loves him for his willingness to sacrifice himself for the sake of all God’s children.

The Shepherd’s Voice Scott Hahn Reflects on
Fourth Sunday of Easter
Jesus, in today’s Gospel, says that He is the good shepherd the prophets had promised to Israel.
He is the shepherd-prince, the new David—who frees people from bondage to sin and gathers them into one flock, the Church, under a new covenant, made in His blood (see Ezekiel 34:10–13, 23–31).
His flock includes other sheep, He says, far more than the dispersed children of Israel (see Isaiah 56:8; John 11:52). And He gave His Church the mission of shepherding all peoples to the Father.
In today’s First Reading, we see the beginnings of that mission in the testimony of Peter, whom the Lord appointed shepherd of His Church (see John 21:15–17).
Peter tells Israel’s leaders that the Psalm we sing today is a prophecy of their rejection and crucifixion of Christ. He tells the “builders” of Israel’s temple, that God has made the stone they rejected the cornerstone of a new spiritual temple, the Church (see Mark 12:10–13; 1 Peter 2:4–7).
Through the ministry of the Church, the shepherd still speaks (see Luke 10:16 ),and forgives sins (see John 20:23), and makes His body and blood present, that all may know Him in the breaking of the bread (see Luke 24:35). It is a mission that will continue until all the world is one flock under the one shepherd.
In laying down His life and taking it up again, Jesus made it possible for us to know God as He did—as sons and daughters of the Father who loves us. As we hear in today’s Epistle, He calls us His children, as He called Israel His son when He led them out of Egypt and made His covenant with them (see Exodus 4:22–23; Revelation 21:7).
Today, let us listen for His voice as He speaks to us in the Scriptures, and vow again to be more faithful followers. And let us give thanks for the blessings He bestows from His altar.

Our Blessed Mother requests that we pray the Rosary and that we pray it often.

Weekly Adoration Hour Sacred Heart Church
26 Still Road Monroe, NY
Do you need some Peace, someone to talk to, a place to relax and leave the world behind for a while? Our Lord instructed His Apostles to “Stay Awake with Him One Hour.” If you have never come to Adoration, it is a time to Adore Jesus in the Eucharist, spend time with Him in a very intimate way, speak to Him, and most importantly in these busy days, it is a time to just sit in silence, to let Him speak to you, guide you, and love you! There are 2 weekly opportunities at Sacred Heart in Monroe Wed 8-9 a.m., and Fri 8-9 p.m. No need to bring anything, or know what to do, etc. Just come sit with Him and feel His Peace. He awaits you. (You do not need to stay the full Hour if you cannot, or have children with you etc.) They also offer a 7:30 p.m. Mass every First Friday, followed by Nocturnal Adoration 8 p.m. Fri thru 9 a.m. Mass Saturday morning. It is ideal to have 2 people present each Hour overnight, but there are times we only have one, due to illness etc., so if you would like to sign up for an Hour, or be placed on a substitute list, please contact Eileen Collopy (845) 774-8584.
