“I am the Good Shepherd, says the Lord: I know my sheep, and mine know me.”

May 11, 2025
Fourth Sunday of Easter

Dear Our Lady of the Assumption Parish Family,

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and Guardian of our souls. He promised to keep a close and personal watch over all of His sheep—His followers who belong to Him. He calls each of us personally by name. He promised to be our guardian and protector from the snares of our enemy. The Lord leads us each day to good pastures—places where we can feed on His word and drink from the wellsprings of living water, His Holy Spirit. If we feed on His word and drink from the living water of the Holy Spirit, we will find the nourishment and strength we need to live each day for His glory and honor. The words that Jesus spoke upset many of the Jewish leaders. They did not understand how He could talk with the same authority that God spoke.

We face the same choice. Jesus is either who He claims to be—the Son of God and Savior of the world—or the world’s greatest deluder. We cannot be indifferent to His claim. For those who accept Jesus as the Son of God, He offers the peace and security of eternal life. Jesus gives us the grace we need to answer His call. We must be attentive to His voice and submit fully to His wise rule. In our noisy world, Jesus the Good Shepherd calls you by name. Draw close to Him, and there you will find peace and joy in His presence.

Happy Mother’s Day to mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, godmothers, and all women who fulfill motherly roles. Thank you for the gift of life and the love and guidance you unselfishly give to those you raise. May our Mother Mary continue to grant you the wisdom, strength, and courage needed to sustain you through the trials of Motherhood.

Have a peaceful day.

Yours in Christ,

Father Edward Domme
