Fourth Sunday of Easter
Reading I – Acts 13:14, 43-52
Reading II – Revelation 7:9, 14b-17
Gospel – John 10:27-30
Who Are We? - Who are “we” today as we sing “We are His people, the sheep of His flock” in the Responsorial Psalm? It is very easy to think that it is just us, at this Mass, or just the members of this parish or diocese, or perhaps we are thinking it is all Roman Catholics in the United States. But “we” are much larger and broader than that. If you take a globe or atlas in your hand, it would be difficult to point to any place on land where “we” aren’t sing ing this Psalm today.
Not only that, but “we” are the saints who survived the great time of trial, as described in Revelation’s Reading today. And “we” continue to grow not just in numbers but in complex ity and diversity as the work begun by Paul and Barnabas in today’s First Reading continues. But, even though who “we” are, the flock of the Lord, is almost beyond our ability to com prehend, we all hear the voice of Jesus Christ, our one and only Shepherd, as we continue through the Easter season to follow Him faithfully.
