Fourth Sunday of Easter
Good Shepherd Sunday

| Good Shepherd, Bernard Plockhorst, early 1900s. [PD-US] |
Jesus said:
“I am the good shepherd.
A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
A hired man, who is not a shepherd
and whose sheep are not his own,
sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs
away,
and the wolf catches and scatters them.
This is because he works for pay and has no
concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd,
and I know mine and mine know me,
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father;
and I will lay down my life for the sheep.
I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.
These also I must lead, and they will hear my
voice,
and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
This is why the Father loves me,
because I lay down my life in order to take it up
again.
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my
own.
I have power to lay it down, and power to take it
up again.
This command I have received from my Father.”
John 10:11-18
