- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Fourth Sunday
of Easter
-
- Jesus promised that as
long as we hear his voice and follow it, no one will take us
away from the Father’s love. And we know that the words
and deeds of Jesus are the words and deeds of God.
- Adults: Do I get distracted by the voices
of false shepherds? What helps me focus more on the voice of
the Good Shepherd?
Children: How do I know that Jesus, the Good Shepherd,
is protecting and guiding me? When do I feel his love and care
the most?

LITURGY
BITS AND BYTES
The Word Eucharist
Probably you have heard that the word
eucharist means thanksgiving. Gratitude is an attitude which
can be learned, a habit which can be practiced and developed.
As we grow in developing a grateful heart in our daily lives,
gathering as the Body of Christ to worship God, gives natural
expression to our being a people of thanksgiving. We come together
to “do Eucharist,” to give praise and thanks to God.
