We pray the Fourth Sunday of Easter and sit with St Gregory the Great’s challenge to measure discipleship by love that obeys, not ideas that impress. The Good Shepherd leads us from belief into perseverance and hope for heaven, and we ask for the courage to keep moving toward our true destination. 
• opening prayers that place the day under the Trinity 
• Morning Offering through the Immaculate Heart of Mary that unites work and suffering to the Mass 
• St Gregory’s test of belonging to the flock through love shown in action 
• the claim that knowing God means keeping the commandments 
• the path from faith toward contemplation and the promise of eternal life 
• heaven described as true joy and clear vision of God 
• warning against distractions of comfort and success that derail the journey 
• Easter proclamation of the risen Shepherd who laid down his life
