"My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me."

John 10:27

Fourth Sunday of Easter

  

Flock

Billy Collins

  

It has been calculated that each copy of the Gutenberg Bible required the skins of 300 sheep. 


I can see them squeezed into the holding pen
behind the stone building
where the printing press is housed,

all of them squirming around
to find a little room
and looking so much alike
  
it would be nearly impossible
to count them,
and there is no telling
  
which one will carry the news
that the Lord is a shepherd,

one of the few things they already know.

Do You Love Me?  by Janice Love
 
"What a gift the Great Fifty Days are for the church! Time to celebrate. Time to ponder.  Celebrate and ponder the stupefying wonder that is the Resurrection of Jesus, the Christ.  Here we are on the third Sunday of Easter and the disciples still aren't getting it.  Their continued bafflement speaks volumes to the shock of what has taken place. Thousands of years later the ripples of that decisive Act of God can continue to confound us; the church is still in need of this gift of time to yearly reorient ourselves to what God is up to."
