ENTRANCE ANTIPHON: The merciful love of the Lord fills the earth; by the Word of the Lord the heavens were made, alleluia.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM:
The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone
1. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, for His love has no end. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in men: it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
2. I will thank You for You have given answer and You are my saviour. The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone. This is the work of the Lord, a marvel in our eyes.
3. Blessed in the name of the Lord is He who comes. We bless You from the house of the Lord; I will thank You for You have given answer and You are my saviour. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; for His love has no end.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: Alleluia, alleluia! I am the Good Shepherd, says the Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me. Alleluia!
COMMUNION ANTIPHON: The Good Shepherd has risen, who laid down His life for His sheep and willingly died for His flock, alleluia.
READINGS FOR NEXT SUNDAY: 5th Sunday of Easter (Year B): Acts 9:26-31; 1 John 3:18-24; John 15:1-8.
REFLECTION BY DIANNE BERGANT CSS
This Sunday is traditionally known as Good Shepherd Sunday. Two major themes emerge from the readings: an image of the one who saves; and the power of salvation itself. The one who saves is not a mighty warrior who comes in military array. In fact, he is the one who was rejected, who was hunted down, humiliated, tortured and hung naked on a tree, there to die in shame. The one who saves is the cornerstone of the building, holding it together, forming a firm foundation so that the structure will not collapse. The one who saves is a lowly shepherd, entrusted with sheep, not with the affairs of state. The one who saves is an unlikely saviour. This characterisation should give us pause. Is it possible that we have been looking for a saviour in the wrong places?
God’s saving power flows from steadfast covenant love. It broke open the world in the death and resurrection of Jesus and it overflows as healing grace. The saving power in the name of Jesus, a name that itself means ‘saviour’ (cf. Matt 1:21), is for all people, even for those sheep who do not yet belong to this fold. Furthermore, it is for all time; God’s mercy endures forever. Through our baptism we can bring the saving grace of God to a world in desperate need of healing. We can do this in our families, in our local communities, in the workplace, in so many situations of our lives.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
O God, who chose the Apostles to make disciples of all nations, and who by Baptism and Confir-mation has called us to build up Your Holy Church, we implore You to choose from among us, your children, many priests and religious who will love You with their whole hearts and will gladly spend their lives to make You better known and loved by all Through Christ Our
Lord, AMEN
22nd April (Fourth Sunday of Easter) Today is the World Day of Vocations. Pope Francis tells us: We will never discover the special, personal calling that God has in mind for us if we remain enclosed in ourselves, in our usual way of doing things… We could lose the chance to dream big and to play our part in the unique and original story that God wants to write with us. God calls young people from our local communities to serve as priests and consecrated religious. We all have a role to play in helping young people to ‘dream big’ and hear this call. What can I do to foster vocations from this community?
Prayer to the Good Shepherd
Lord of the 23rd Psalm I have known death,
And You have refreshed my soul. I have known fear,
And you have comforted me. I have known hunger,
And you have set a feast before me. In the darkest valley
No calamity of humankind or nature has separated us.
Teach me to walk as you walk
Besides those in mourning So they will know joy, Besides those in fear
That they will know comfort, Besides those in hunger That they will feast until
their cup overflows.
As your goodness and love follow me, May mine follow my neighbour
That the threat of the worst terrors May turn to the knowledge of
the comforts of the house of the Lord, Where you have invited us
to dwell forever.
So let me strive to build on earth What you have promised us in heaven.
In the face of all calamity, present and yet to come,
Let me lead my neighbour beside quiet waters,
The quiet waters of the
GOOD SHEPHERD.
AMEN
