The Fourth Sunday of Easter is known as “Good Shepherd Sunday” because the Mass reading is taken from the Gospel of John, where Jesus uses the imagery of a shepherd guiding and guarding his flock to describe His relationship with those He has redeemed: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (Jn. 10:11). The communion antiphon for this Mass reads, "The Good Shepherd is risen! He who laid down his life for his sheep, who died for his flock, he is risen, alleluia." Good Shepherd Sunday is also recognized as the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, where the faithful pray that God will send them good and holy priests who, following the example of Christ, will lay down their lives for His sheep.

🚨 BREAKING: Canadian Cardinal: Catholics shouldn't use 'Pride' symbols—they're 'contrary to God’s divine revelation' 🚨 Frank Cardinal Leo, Archbishop of Toronto, spoke out strongly against Catholics who use "misguided and inadequate" symbols in the month of June that "do not represent us as Catholics but rather contribute to confusion, distortions and ambiguities about what the Catholic faith truly teaches regarding the human person, human nature, and natural moral law." Rather, they should turn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, he said, "one of the most profound and enduring symbols in Catholic devotional life as it encapsulates the depth of Christ’s love for humanity." The statement, dated June 1, was posted on the Archdiocese of Toronto's website on May 29. "We need to make sure that the symbols we use are consistent with our Catholic faith and not borrowed from ideological fora, promoted by lobby groups and endorsed by political movements," Cardinal Leo continued. "We ought to honour and respect our traditions and not compromise the integrity of the faith by using symbols that are contrary to God’s divine revelation." "We do good to use our own symbols to tell our own story without resorting to trendy, misguided and inadequate symbols that do not represent us as Catholics but rather contribute to confusion, distortions and ambiguities about what the Catholic faith truly teaches regarding the human person, human nature, and natural moral law."
