Reflection on the fourth Sunday of Easter

In this weekend’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of Himself as the gate to the sheepfold. He invites us to live in and through Him so that we can continue His mission of calling one another to embrace the lifestyle of Jesus. In doing so, we are empowered to call others to allow Jesus to establish an intimate relationship with Him, at the same time that our relationship with Him also develops. Through it all, we provide a loving community environment in which any and all will feel welcome, regardless of the circumstances of their lives. Providing an embracing environment, we walk with them in allowing the goodness of God to transform their lives at the very same time that ours likewise are enriched and renewed.
