Sunday Gospel Message - Fourth Sunday of Easter

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Paul and Barnabas proclaimed the word of the Lord
first to the Jewish people. Because many of them were not
open to hear the word of the Lord, they then went to the
Gentiles. Their mission from Jesus was to teach and to leave
the results up to Him. Jesus tells us today that He wants to
be our Good Shepherd, to lead us and to guide us and to
bring us to eternal happiness. We pray that we may be open
to hear the voice that we may be lead to eternal joy with
Him.

Gospel Passage
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. 28 I
give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them
out of my hand. 29 What my Father has given me is greater than all else,
and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand. 30 The Father and I are
one.”

Questions for discussion -
1. How do we hear Jesus’ voice? Where and when can you listen to Jesus?

2. Jesus says his sheep follow him in their actions. Who are His “sheep”? How
well do you follow Jesus?

3. The Lord Jesus says the Father and Him are one. Their unity is perfect. God
calls his disciples to be one, like the Father is in the Son and the Son in the
Father. What do you need to do to bring about this same “unity” in your
family, in your parish, and with your friends?
