Fourth Sunday of Easter May 7, 2017 God speaks to us in many ways, including through this Sunday’s Scripture readings. We enter life to the full through Christ. Reading 1 Acts of the Apostles 2:14a,36-41 Reading 2 1 Peter 2:20b-25 Gospel John 10:1-10 Question of the Week Adults: In what specific ways is Christ an example which you follow when dealing with others, especially with the ones against whom you hold a grudge or those who dislike you?
