FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 

GOSPEL:   JOHN 10:1-10 

Jesus states clearly that he came so that his followers might have abundant Life.
Jesus uses the metaphor of a caring shepherd and sheep to indicate how his followers might receive that Life:
by hearing his voice and their name, by following the Good Shepherd, by recognizing whose voice calls them.
Hearing, following, recognizing: we are to open our ears in faith,
open our hearts in trust, open our minds in love.
This is the way to abundant Life. 

The Gate is wide open. 

ALLELUIA! CHRIST IS RISEN!
