We gather as pilgrims on a journey, asking God to keep us steadfast until we reach our eternal home. In the Spirit, let us worship God who cares for us according to our needs.
The fourth Sunday of Easter is often called Good Shepherd Sunday, because the readings are about the care we receive from Christ, our true shepherd. Today is also the day of prayer for vocations.
God’s Word this Sunday calls us to recognise the transience of life, to keep our eyes on what is lasting.
With Christmas Eve just one day away, the Church gathers to make its final preparations to greet the Infant King.
This Easter morning we gather for a most unusual Easter celebration. Pandemic threatens to overwhelm, yet the Church insistently proclaims: Christ is risen! We still celebrate the central mystery of our faith, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He suffered on the cross and died for us, but now he has conquered death and fear! Filled with the spirit of Easter joy, let us proclaim the might and glory of God.
An Opening Comment for Sunday’s Mass, short introductions to the readings and sample Prayers of the Faithful are provided to help the hard-pressed presider; they can be printed out and read from at the altar.
