SAINT ANNE - SAINT PATRICK PARISH
APRIL 22, 2018
FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
See what love the Father has bestowed on us
that we may be called the children of God.
— 1 John 3:1
SAVED BY THE ONE
WHO WAS REJECTED
Some city teenagers often scorn
and reject farm kids. Yet it’s no exagger-
ation to say that humanity owes its life
to farmers who care for the world’s
crops and livestock. This week’s scrip-
tures remind us that Jesus was as rejected as a shepherd, a
farm boy, yet we owe our very lives to him.
In this Sunday’s reading from the Acts of the Apos-
tles Peter tells the people that salvation comes through Jesus
Christ, the one who was rejected. In John’s le:er we hear that
we have become God’s beloved children through Jesus,
whom the world did not know. Lastly, in the Gospel Jesus
describes himself as the Good Shepherd who “lays down his
life for the sheep” (John 10:11). Will you join Jesus in laying
down your life for God’s beloved flock?
READINGS FOR THE WEEK
Monday: Acts 11:1-18; Ps 42:2-3; 43:3, 4; Jn 10:1-10
Tuesday: Acts 11:19-26; Ps 87:1-7; Jn 10:22-30
Wednesday: 1 Pt 5:5b-14; Ps 89:2-3, 6-7, 16-17;
Mk 16:15-20
Thursday: Acts 13:13-25: Ps 89:2-3, 21-22, 25, 27;
Jn 13:16-20
Friday: Acts 13:26-33; Ps 2:6-11; Jn 14:1-6
