Fourth Sunday
of EASTER |
|
|
|
General. This Sunday reminds us of the figure
of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd. Before the Christians introduced the
figure of Jesus Crucified and the Cross as a singular symbol of Christianity,
there had been a long period when early Christians held for a symbol of their
faith the figure of Jesus carrying the fragile lamb over his shoulders which
he kept warm with the heat of his neck. This figure was carved out or drawn
on the walls of the catacombs where the early Christians took refuge, and so
this Sunday reminds us who Christ really is for us. |

Acts
of the Apostles. Peter is here seen again announcing
the Kerygma. He who had been laid apart in the same manner as a stone is
rejected thinking that it is of no use, God had made the corner-stone of
salvation. The passage reminds us God’s ways are numerous and all equally
mysterious. |
