parishioners, family and friends are invited to join in prayer and
solidarity from 12 noon (Thursday) to 12 midnight at St. Peter
Church. Sign the schedule sheet found in the narthex and choose
your preferred 1 hour time slot. Rosary, Chaplet of the Divine

are requesting and urging the House of Commons in Parliament to
recognize and fund hospice palliative care across Canada. There is
a pressing need for all Canadians to have greater accessibility to
palliative care. Please join us in person or in prayer.

May 11 (Thursday) at 7:00 pm in the church, there will be an hour
and a half workshop for all lectors. While this is intended to
provide information useful to those already involved in the said
ministry, I would encourage parishioners to consider attending
such opportunity to learn more about how we liturgically celebrate
our faith. This includes a DVD presentation, liturgical guidelines
as lectors and questions and answer period.
May 27 (last Saturday) at 11:00am in the church, there will be a
schedule healing Mass which includes the sacrament of holy
anointing especially for the sick in our parish community. The
Vatican council II helped changed the name from extreme unction
to anointing of the sick. It is not a sacrament intended only for
those who are the point of death. As soon as any of the faithful
begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, this is
already a suitable time for them to receive this sacrament. If you
know of someone who is homebound kindly provide a ride for
them to church. Let us assist and support in whatever ways we can
to show that we care for the elderly and the infirm.
Gospel John 10.1-10 www.loyolapress.com
Jesus is the gate for his sheep.
Gospel Reflection
This fourth Sunday of the Easter season is sometimes called Good
Shepherd Sunday because in each of the three lectionary cycles,
the Gospel reading invites us to reflect on Jesus as the Good
Shepherd. In each cycle the reading is from the tenth chapter of
John’s Gospel. This chapter sets the framework for Jesus’ teaching
about himself as the Good Shepherd. Today’s reading falls
between the stories of Jesus’ healing of the man born blind and the
raising of Lazarus. Both of these stories were proclaimed in the
Gospels found in this year’s season of Lent. Following the
controversy that ensued when Jesus healed the man born blind,
Jesus directs his allegory about the sheep and the shepherd toward
the Jewish religious leaders of his time, the Pharisees. Throughout
John’s Gospel the Pharisees fail to accept Jesus’ ministry and
teaching. They show themselves to be “robbers and thieves”
because they try to lead the sheep without entering through the
gate, Jesus. Through these metaphors, Jesus is telling his listeners
that those who follow him and his way will find abundant life. He
identifies himself both as the shepherd and the gate. The shepherds
who are faithful to him are the ones whom the sheep (Jesus’
disciples) should follow. The relationship between the sheep and
their shepherd is based on familiarity. Sheep recognize their
shepherd and will not follow a stranger. At the end of the day,
shepherds lead their sheep from pastures to a common gated area
called a sheepfold. There, one shepherd protects all of the sheep
until the next day when each shepherd returns to lead his own
sheep to pasture. As shepherds move among the sheep, the sheep
follow only their shepherd. Today’s Gospel also gives us the
opportunity to reflect on Christian leadership. Jesus’ words suggest
to us that those who will lead the Christian community will be
known by their faithfulness to Jesus. The leaders will recognize
that Jesus is the gate for all of the sheep and that having a good
relationship with Jesus is the primary characteristic of a Christian
leader. Jesus’ allegory also suggests that faithful Christian
leadership requires a good relationship with the community: the
shepherd knows his sheep, and they know him. Christian leaders
follow the example of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, by being faithful
to him and by being a good shepherd.
