Good Shepherd Sunday homily by Fr. Francis Mary Roaldi, CFR.

4th Sunday of Easter Just a few days ago, on Thursday, May 8th, something happened that I never thought I would see in my lifetime: Habemus Papam! We have a Pope! …And he's American! Robert Francis Prevost is a native of Chicago; an Augustinian priest (a religious order priest) who spent much of his priestly life as a missionary in South America, and eventually serving as a Bishop in Peru.  More recently, he was called to Rome, where he worked in the Dicastery for Bishops. On this Good Shepherd Sunday let's pray for our new shepherd, Pope Leo XIV.  I also ask for your prayers for me, your local shepherd.  And finally, prayers for those that you have been called by God to shepherd.  Jesus doesn't say “follow me” to only popes or priests; he says it to every disciple.  Every one of us who has heard Jesus' invitation and chosen to follow Him has also been tasked with the responsibility to shepherd specific people the Lord has placed in our care.  May we all model our shepherding after that of Christ, the Good Shepherd!

May 11, 2025: Alleluia! Christ is risen!  Welcome to Good Shepherd Sunday, always the fourth Sunday of Easter, when we hear the gospel message of Jesus as our shepherd, whose voice we hear and whom we follow.   It is also Mother's Day in the secular world. I hope to get lots of licks and meows… The post “God Loves All Of Us, And Evil Will Not Prevail!” appeared first on Christ Episcopal Church.

A good shepherd and stubborn sheep

On this Good Shepherd Sunday, the Church and world rejoice that a new Shepherd for the Church has been named, Pope Leo XIV. The Gospels make it clear both that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that he Shepherds through Peter (and by extension through the bishops and their priests). May we rejoice today that Jesus is our Shepherd and that He shepherds us through the Church!

On Good Shepherd Sunday, Fr. Michael reflects deeply on the connection between being a lamb and becoming a shepherd. Sharing his personal vocation story and the powerful image of the Lamb who conquers in the Book of Revelation, he reminds us that every vocation begins by receiving the love of God first. Only by being held in God's hands can we truly be called to lay down our lives with Christ—for Him and for others. #GoodShepherdSunday, #Catholic, #Homily, #Faith, #Vocations, #Easter, #JesusChrist, #Gospel, #LayDownYourLife, #Christchurch, #FrMichaelPodcast, #LambOfGod

How will you honor your mother today? On this 4th Sunday of Easter—Good Shepherd Sunday—and Mother's Day, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the beautiful connection between shepherds, sheep, and the ultimate sacrificial Lamb. Drawing inspiration from the childhood rhyme Mary had a little lamb, he invites us to see both Mary, the mother of Jesus, and all mothers as shepherds leading their children in love and sacrifice.   Let today be a celebration of motherhood, femininity, and the Blessed Virgin Mary—who once held the Lamb of God in her arms and guided Him through life.  

Today, we continue in the Gospel of John as we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday. As we celebrate the third offering in our sermon series And There Christ Will Meet You, we will reflect on how God cares for, protects, guides, and calls us by name. In a world full of a cacophony of voices, we'll consider how to listen for the voice of our shepherd. Sermon on John 21:1-19, delivered by the Reverend Mary Newberg Gale on May 11th, 2025.

In this sermon, based on John 10:22-33, Pastor Scott explores Jesus' words that the sheep know his voice and that he knows them. This is the assigned gospel text for Sunday May 11th, the 4th Sunday of Easter and Good Shepherd Sunday.

Evening lessons: Psalms 27; Job 39; 2 Peter 3.  The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

Whether you were raised in a Christian environment or not, you probably have at least some familiarity with Psalm 23, which is often titled “The Lord is My Shepherd.” What does that mean for the Lord to be our shepherd? On this Good Shepherd Sunday, Bishop Alan share about what exactly it means for the Lord to be the True Good Shepherd. "Jesus the True Shepherd," Eastertide 2025, John 10:1-21, The Rt. Rev. Alan Hawkins.

On this Good Shepherd Sunday, we reflect on the comforting truth that we are held in the loving, strong hands of God—hands that create, protect, guide, and never let go. No matter where we are or what we face, nothing can snatch us from His grasp.

Archdeacon Andrew preaches for Good Shepherd Sunday 2025

As we move forward in our lives, it is always important to stay close to Christ. We cannot know what God wants us to do with our lives without God, as He is the author of our lives. 

May 11, 2025 John 10:22-30 (ESV) 22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

Homily for Good Shepherd Sunday, 4th Sunday of Easter Year C

Read OnlineJesus said: “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand.” John 10:27–28The image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd is an endearing image. Many artists have depicted the gentleness of Christ as He leads His sheep or carries a straying lamb on His shoulders. We are given this image today as we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday.In our short Gospel passage today, Jesus addressed some of the Jews who were trying to trap Him in His speech. Prior to this passage, they asked Him, “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” To that, Jesus responded, “I told you and you do not believe.” Jesus answered this way because the people questioning Him were not interested in actually knowing whether He was the Messiah. Instead, they wanted to accuse Him of blasphemy. But Jesus tells them that He already told them Who He was through His works: “The works I do in my Father's name testify to me.”Do you see the works of God in your life? If you do, then it is important to understand that Jesus' works are one of the primary ways that He speaks to you and leads you as your Shepherd. God certainly speaks to us through His Word as it is revealed in the Scriptures and in the teachings of the Church. But He also speaks to us through His works. Among the many works of God in your life is the work of grace by which God enables you to grow in virtue. Therefore, it is important to look for the ways that supernatural virtue grows in your life. For example, do you see courage in the face of fear? If so, what is God saying to you through the increase of this virtue? Do you see a supernatural ability to forgive another? If so, what is God telling you through the increase of that virtue? Do you see an increase in the virtue of piety, by which your life of prayer becomes more important to you? If so, what is God saying to you through the increase of this virtue?The discernment of the will of God enables us to hear His voice and follow Him. And one of the best ways to discern the will of God is to look for the ways that God is touching your life. Where you see virtue increase, the will of God is present and is calling you to grow in that area. Conversely, if there is something in your life that leads you to sin, and, thus, a decrease in virtue, then this is also God's voice telling you to avoid these things. Reflect, today, upon God's actions that are perceptible in your life. Even though God speaks clearly to us through His revealed Word, He also speaks to us and shepherds us through His discernable touching of our souls. Where you see virtue increase, you will find the will of God. Where you see virtue decrease, you will not find the will of God. Listen to God as He speaks to you this way so that you will hear His voice, follow Him and receive eternal life.My revealing Lord, You speak to me day and night, calling me to follow You as my Shepherd. May I learn to perceive Your voice as You speak to me in varied ways so that I can more readily follow You wherever You lead. Jesus, my Good Shepherd, I trust in You.  Main image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Readings for the Fourth Sunday in Easter (Good Shepherd Sunday) - Acts 13:14, 43-52; John 10:27-30While last week's readings invited us to see differently, this week's readings (on this Good Shepherd Sunday) invite us to hear differently. Jesus says that His sheep hear his voice and follow him. Assuming that is still true today, where are those instances that we hear the voice of Jesus? And how do we carve out a place in the whirlwind to make room not only for the voice of God, but gaining the courage to go where He invites us?As this podcast winds down on its five-year run, you will see me (and hopefully hear me!) thank many people in the coming weeks. I sincerely hope that I don't leave anyone out. But as always, I wish to thank you - the listener - for inspiring me and making this such a joy. I'm humbled by your presence.

May 4th, 2025: A Good and Great Shepherd Faces Danger with a Joyful Soul;  Are We Hopeless?; Good Shepherd, Eternal Salvation Matters

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Sermon Brainwave! This week, our hosts Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson dive deep into the lectionary texts for the Fourth Sunday of Easter (May 11, 2025)—including John 10:22-30, Acts 9:36-43, Psalm 23, and Revelation 7:9-17—with a special focus on Good Shepherd Sunday. We've all heard the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, but what if your understanding of that metaphor is incomplete—or even "lame," as the hosts boldly say? What if the image of shepherd is not just pastoral comfort, but a royal claim, a radical act of intimacy, and a call to relationship?
