Word for Sunday April 30.

“But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the
sheep…and the sheep hear his voice as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them
out…and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. But they will not follow a
stranger.” John 10:2-5. St. Padre Pio said, “Always live under the eyes of the Good Shepherd and
you will walk unharmed through evil pastures.” Let us pray, My Jesus, as we stop to listen to
You, in small times of quiet, may we come to know Your voice even better. Like sheep who
know their master’s voice, we too must learn Your voice. Grant us times of quiet, when we can
listen with our hearts. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
