SUNDAY 26th April 2026

Fourth Sunday of Easter

Peter stands up with the Eleven and preaches about Jesus, our “Lord and Christ”. When the people hear that it is by Christ’s wounds that they have been healed, they themselves are “cut to the heart”. They beg, “Brothers, what shall we do?” They have found in the witness of the apostles an authority they are eager to follow. This is what Jesus means when he says that the Good Shepherd walks ahead of his sheep, and that the sheep follow him “for they know his voice”. Good Shepherd Sunday celebrates the fulfilment of “the promise” that God will send a Shepherd who will give us life “abundantly”.

INTENTIONS

Lord Jesus,
you conquered death without weapons or violence:
you shattered its power with the strength of peace.
Grant us your peace,
as you did to the women filled with doubt on Easter morning,
as you did to the disciples who were hiding in fear.
Send forth your Spirit,
the breath that gives life and reconciles,
that turns adversaries and enemies into brothers and sisters.
Inspire in us to trust in Mary, your mother,
who stood at the foot of your cross with a broken heart,
firm in the faith that you would rise again.
May the madness of war cease
and the Earth be cared for and cultivated by those who still
know how to bring forth, protect and love life.
Hear us, Lord of life!
