Thur. Jun 5th
After He healed, raised the dead and walked on water, Jesus commanded us – Go and “Do Greater Things.” We want to take Him up on that.
We are impacting history. God bless, and God bless America.
First Reading
ACTS 26:19-23
19“Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
20but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.
21For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
22To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass:
23that the Christ must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.”
Responsorial Psalm
PSALMS 117:1-2
1Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples!
2For great is his steadfast love toward us; and the faithfulness of the LORD endures for ever. Praise the LORD!
Gospel
JOHN 10:11-16
11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
12He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
13He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me,
15as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
