This image is implied in all today&#8217;s readings: the people listening to Peter find this gateway and enter through it: Peter writes to remind us that we have come back to the Good Shepherd, who heals us by his wounds.<\/p>\n<p>To Listen to Carmine Rea talk about his vication Click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/My Vocation.mp3\">HERE<\/a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To view and download a copy of the Weekly Newsletter click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/04\/300423 4thEasterA.pdf\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To view and download a copy of the Prayers of the Faithful click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/300423 4thEasterABidding.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To make a donation click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygivinghub.com\/detailed\/donate?charity_id=1086324&amp;type=2&amp;reference=Y18&amp;amount=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4th Sunday of Easter&nbsp; &#8211;&nbsp; Year A This Sunday is traditionally called Good Shepherd Sunday, because of the Gospel references to Jesus as the Good Shepherd.
