4th Sunday of Easter (May 8, 2022)

 

God’s Unity

John 10: 27-30

 

“My Father and I are one.” 

 

On this Good Shepherd Sunday, these words of the Good Shepherd reassures us of the great gift that he gave to humanity – unity.  By his cross and resurrection, he brings all humanity into unity with God. 

 

Consequently, this divine unity brings together one family of God “a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue” (2nd Reading).

 

The Good Shepherd now shares with us this mission.  On this World Day of Prayer for Vocations, we pray that each of us embrace our proper vocation as witness and instrument of God’s unity.  Together, may we bring all people into one family of God.
