Gospel Share: I am the good shepherd

 Gospel Share: I am the good shepherd

Good Shepherd
I am the Good Shepherd

First Reading
Acts of the Apostles 4:8-12
Peter announces an act of healing in the name of Jesus Christ.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 118:1,8-9,21-23,26,28,29
A prayer of thanksgiving to God for his kindness

Second Reading
1 John 3:1-2
God revealed his love for us by calling us children of God.

Gospel Reading
John 10:11-18
Jesus says that he is the good shepherd who knows his sheep.

The image of the good shepherd is on that Jesus used to help explain to the people of his time how much he loved them and looked out for them.  He also talks about how he knows his sheep and they know him.  We might think what image we might use today to describe that same message of God's loving care.
