PASTORAL LETTER FOR THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER VOCATIONS SUNDAY 2025
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you on this Fourth Sunday of Easter, traditionally known as Good Shepherd Sunday. Today's Gospel (John 10:11-18) gives us those deeply consoling words of Jesus: "I am the good shepherd... I know my own and my own know me."
In this Easter season and in our Jubilee Year of Hope, we hear those words not only with comfort but with conviction. We are reminded that every Christian life is born from the loving and personal call of the Shepherd who knows us by name and calls us to follow.
