"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
Come into his presence with singing."
(Responsorial psalm 100)

"My sheep hear my voice. I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will ever snatch them out of my hand."
Gospel (John 10:27-28)

Prayer

Shepherding God,
You show us the way that leads to everlasting life.
Through Baptism, you have called us to proclaim the Good News.
Bless and strengthen those who have made a commitment to service in the Church.
Guide and give wisdom to those discerning their vocation.
Enrich our Church with dedicated married and single people, with deacons, priests and religious.
Filled with joy and your Holy Spirit
may we follow Jesus, our Good Shepherd now and always.
Amen.
