Reading I : Acts 4:8-12
Jesus has become our cornerstone!
• The reading from the Acts of the Apostles follows the
story of the arrest of Peter and John and includes
Peter's speech to the authorities who are
interrogating them.
• Peter restates the basic truth of the resurrection: Death
is conquered and life won through the death and
resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
• The authorities release Peter and John, who
immediately return to preaching the good news.
Reading II : 1 John 3:1-2
We shall be like him: light!
• The reading from the First Letter of John is another
description of the relationship between God and
people.
• God has made us children through and with Christ.
• Because we are God's children, then, we must be like
God.
Gospel : John 10:11-18
Jesus is our good shepherd.
• In the gospel passage, Jesus describes three traits of an
ideal shepherd.
• These traits also characterize Jesus’ relationship to his
followers.
Jesus calls his sheep by name, and they follow wherever
he leads.
Activity of the Week
Choose one of the following activities as a way to
further reflect on the Sunday readings:
• Jesus, the Good Shepherd, shows us the way.
Together, compose a prayer that describes how
your family follows the way of Jesus. Tell of
how Jesus, the Good Shepherd, guides you in
your daily lives.
• Look up sheep or goats in the encyclopedia, or find a
storybook about them. Read the text or the story
together, and discuss how animals depend on us
to take care of them. Remind family members
that Jesus tells us that he is the Good Shepherd.
Talk about how Jesus takes care of us.
• Reflect on how Jesus leads us by means of his Church.
How are our leaders like shepherds? What
qualities of the Good Shepherd do you bring to
the Church?
Use Psalm 23 as your family prayer this week.

A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar – Today’s gospel
is a job decription for Christian parents. For most
people the most influential shepherds in their lives
are their parents. Every parent is called to be a “good
shepherd” to “freely lay down their life” for their
children, to “love” and “know” their children and to
“lead” them so, “they know your voice.”
SPRING CLEANUP HAS BEGUN IN ST. PETER’S
