Who's Voice am I Listening To? - 05/08/2022 - Fr. Patrick
Homily for the Fourth Sunday of Easter (10:30AM Mass)
My sheep hear my voice and I know them.
The Good Shepherd makes sacrifices for his flock. One of the dynamics of family life is that Parents make sacrifices for their children acting out of love and not just out of an obligation. God knows our needs before they ever reach our lips. God anticipates our needs and goes before us to prepare the way. Who are the people who have helped and shepherded us in our lives? How have we helped and shepherded others along the way?
We oftentimes hear the phrase “God will not give us more than we can bear. He may bend us but we will not break.” Some of us may feel that God is giving us too much and bending us too much. It is in the moments of “bending” that our faith is tested. We must trust in the “unchanging hand” of God to see us through. The same God who brought us through so much in our lives will bring us through this moment as well. The reality is that the journey that we travel in this life teaches us how to live the life of faith.
Today, live in the present moment. Maybe this moment is filled with pain, dashed hopes, broken relationships, and unrealized dreams. We may not know how to deal with this situation, but God is with us! God knows your prayers. Listen to Him.
