THE THEME
The Fourth Sunday of Easter is also
called Good Shepherd Sunday. The
images of gentleness, strength, confi-
dence, self-sacrifice, hard work and
peace are what we want to be as par-
ents or grandparents, friends or colleagues, even as
a pastor. Let us pray today to be followers of the
true Shepherd and imitators of him.

From Fr. Peter’s Desk 4th Sunday of Easter
Dear Parish Family,
The fourth Sunday of Easter is
called “Good Shepherd Sunday”.
The Gospel recalls the reassuring words of Jesus that
he will watch over His flock and protect it from the
dangers of the enemy. We all look for a God who ca-
res and is concerned about us. The readings today pro-
claim that truth. God does care. God is our loving
shepherd. This is one reason that Psalm 23 has such
universal appeal. The image of the Shepherd who ca-
res and guides and protects is one that brings comfort
and hope.
The image of the shepherd was also one that appealed
to the early Christians and was among the most popu-
larly depicted images in the early centuries of the
Church. Pope Benedict draws attention to this in his
encyclical ‘Spe Salvi’. As he says, in Roman art the
image of the shepherd was an expression of the dream
of a tranquil and simple life. But the Christian symbol
of the shepherd brings with it a new meaning and a
deeper content “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not
want.. .Even though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I fear no evil, because you are with
me..’ (Ps23:1,4). The true shepherd is one who knows
even the path that passed through the valley of death;
one who walks with me even on the path of final soli-
tude, where no one can accompany me, guiding me
through; he himself has walked through the path, he
has descended into the kingdom of death, he has con-
quered death, and he has returned to accompany us
now to give us certainty that, together with him, we
can find a way through. The realization that there is
One who even in death accompanies me and ‘with his
rod and staff comforts me’, so that ‘I fear no evil’, this
was the new hope that arose over the life of believers.”
Jesus is the gateway to a new and abundant life. When
we search for security outside of him we find only
chaos. But with the Lord Jesus we find salvation. We
find new life here on earth, and we enter upon the
pathway that leads to the restful waters and verdant
pastures of heaven. The Eucharist is a constant re-
minder that the good shepherd has prepared a banquet
for us. May our participation in the Eucharist draw us
into closer communion with him and enable us to fol-
low always the path along which he leads us.

STEWARDSHIP Stewardship Reflection
To be good stewards we must be good
shepherds, willing to lay down our lives
for those committed to our care, not mere
hired hands who run off, “leaving the
sheep to be snatched and scattered by the
wolf.”
Living Stewardship
We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish
who stand ready to assist their neighbors through
attendance and support for community activities such
as police, fire and rescue.
