Good Shepherd Sunday & World Day of Prayer for Vocations
Today has a triple focus: the 4th Sunday of Easter, Good Shepherd Sunday and the World Day of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood and Consecrated Life.
That's quite a lot! I hope I help you today to bring those three foci into some focus; excuse the pun!
For many the image of Christ as the Good Shepherd is an enduringly appealing image. More so I suppose, because Jesus Himself gave us this image and aspect of His relationship with us. I hope you benefit from what I have to say.
The music for today comes from one of my favourite English composers, John Rutter. "The Lord is My Shepherd", which he composed, is sung by the Cambridge Singers and accompanied by the City of London Sinfonia. It is one of the tracks on "The John Rutter Collection". I heartily recommend this album to you, particularly, another track, which stirs my heart every time I hear it: "The Lord Bless You and Keep You".
