“A SACRIFICE OF LOVE”
Ask any parent if they would lay down their life for their child. I
would venture that 100% would answer “Yes”. In today’s
Gospel Jesus tells us that only true love can expect this kind of
sacrifice; for a hired hand would leave those in his care in
order to save himself. The Lord is talking to us about “laying
down your life” kind of love and hearing, knowing and following
the voice of the one who loves you this much. Then Jesus
informs those who belong to him that “He knows them” and
“they know Him” just like the Father and He know each other.
Jesus is claiming an intimate relationship with those who
belong to Him. Have you heard the voice of the “Good
Shepherd”? Are you willing to closely follow the One who
loves you enough to die for you? Want to know more about
RCIA? For more information please call Msgr. Carroll at 973838-6838 ext. 100 or Carol Mangani at 973-283-2218.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
First Reading: Acts 4:8-12
Peter explains to the elders that his healing of a cripple was
done in the name of Jesus Christ. He reminds the elders that
they crucified Jesus, but God rose him up so that all people
could be saved in his name.
Second Reading: I John 3:1-2
John expresses amazement at the fact that God allowed us to
be called his children. Although we are unsure exactly what we
will be after this life, we do know that we will see God as he is
and be like him.
Gospel: John 10:11-18
Jesus speaks of a shepherd working only for pay, with no real
concern for the sheep being well cared for. But Jesus is our
shepherd and would lay down his own life for all those in his
flock. God loves him for his willingness to sacrifice himself for
the sake of all God’s children.
