First Reading (Acts 13:14, 43-52). Paul and Barnabas preach the Gospel firstly to the Jews who reject it; then they preach it to the Gentiles who receive it with joy.
Second Reading (Revelation 7:9, 14-17). This contains a vision of those who will come through times of persecution to share in Christ’s glory in heaven.
Gospel (John 10:27-30). Jesus, the Good Shepherd, will not allow anyone to snatch from his care the sheep the Father has given him.
In today’s Gospel Jesus, the Good Shepherd, says to us,
“I know my sheep. They listen to my voice and follow me.” Let us reflect on how we listen for his voice, his calling, in our daily lives.
