Prayer
Good Shepherd,
You call each of us by name and
lead us according to Your loving plan. Bless Your Church with
generous hearts,
ready to follow You as priests,
deacons, religious sisters and
brothers, and faithful lay servants.
Grant courage to those You are calling, and help them to trust in Your voice. May our community support and encourage them with prayer and love.
Amen
4th Sunday of Easter, Year A
"The Lord is my Shepherd there is nothing I shall want"
Psalm 23
Reflections by Fater Paul Beukes OMI
On this Good Shepherd Sunday, the Gospel from the Gospel of John 10:1-10 reminds us that Jesus calls each of us by name and invites us into a personal relationship with Him.
Every vocation, whether to the priesthood, religious life or marriage, begins with learning to recognize and trust His voice. In a world filled with noise and competing demands, His call is often gentle, heard in moments of prayer, silence, and reflection. Like the early believers in the Acts of the Apostles, we may wonder how to respond, yet God asks only for open and willing hearts.
As a parish community, we also share in the mission of fostering vocations by praying for those being called and encouraging one another to listen deeply.
