Posts Tagged ‘He is the Truth’

Following yesterday’s second reading where we were reminded that it was God our Father’s lavish love for us that He let us be called His Children and yesterday’s Gospel where Jesus clearly mentions He has other sheep not of this fold which He must lead; how then can we frown upon those who are different from us, say a foreign worker in our Country. Or someone of another ethnicity? Or someone who was brought up in a different religion or belief system? How is it that we fail to recognise a fellow sister and brother? A fellow child of God our Heavenly Father?

How then can we fully embrace today’s Gospel and understand that Jesus is for EVERYONE. It is through Him that we enter into sonship and daughterhood of God our Heavenly Father. Through Him we are safe and go freely in and out and are sure to find pasture. He is both Shepherd and Gate of the sheepfold.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Now and forever. Amen Alleluia!

First reading

Acts 11:1-18

God can grant even the pagans the repentance that leads to life






John 10:1-10

I am the gate of the sheepfold

Jesus said:



    So Jesus spoke to them again:

‘I tell you most solemnly,

I am the gate of the sheepfold.

All others who have come

are thieves and brigands;

but the sheep took no notice of them.

I am the gate.

Anyone who enters through me will be safe:


The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
