The 4th Sunday of Easter at Mont Sion Gikungu, 6:30am Mass of April 21th, 2013

Our Saviour Jesus Christ has from the onset chosen some names very unique if not symbolic just to make us grasp Him and His activities in our lives as Christians. Passing through some instance, I am the Light of the world, the Way, Truth and Life, I am the vine, I am the bread of life, and the most recent we have heard from the Holy writ today-I am the Good Shepherd. This sets the tone for a Sunday popularly called Good Shepherd Sunday- the Fourth Sunday of Easter in the Catholic liturgical calendar; that is, the Sunday three weeks after Easter Sunday. The name derives from the gospel reading on this day which is taken from the 10th chapter of John. In this reading Christ is described as the Good Shepherd who, by dying on the Cross, lays down his life for his sheep. Remarkably too, In recent times the feast day has also become known as Vocations Sunday, a day on which prayers should be said for vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
