Canticle of Creatures

The Fourth Sunday of Easter is traditionally known as Good Shepherd Sunday. On this day, the Church reflects on Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd who lovingly cares for His flock. The Gospel invites us to deepen our trust in Christ, listen attentively to His voice, and follow Him with confidence. This Sunday is also observed as the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, reminding the faithful to pray for those called to serve the Church as priests, deacons, religious, and missionaries.
