Clergy Thoughts: The 4th Sunday of Easter Year A (Good Shepherd Sunday) reminds us of Jesus’ care and guidance as our Shepherd. The image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd is powerful and comforting. He knows each one of us by name and loves us deeply. He calls us to follow Him and promises to lead us to eternal life. We are called to listen to His voice, follow Him, and live out our faith daily. The Good Shepherd invites us to a relationship of love, trust, and obedience.  As we reflect on this image, are we following His teachings and trusting in His care? As Good Shepherd, Jesus asks us to take care of the sick, the orphans, the weak, the poor, the marginalized, and the oppressed. Lord, let me fight for their course, and be their light, hope, and shepherd. Amen! Fr Alex
