May 7, 2017.mp3 Today is Good Shepherd Sunday. We hear the teaching of Jesus as the gate for the sheep. We pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood that we may have more shepherds in the Church. In today's Gospel, Peter is teaching about suffering patiently because the Lord brings much good through the pain we suffer. Fr. Gerry ponders the words, "By His wounds, we are healed." This is the core story of Christianity.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus says: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
I will be honest—while these words can sound comforting, there were times when I thought them also a bit of a joke—the not-so-funny kind. What part of “take up your cross daily” is restful? Or “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect?” Or “go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature?” Saint resumes are rarely short.
