LIVE THE LITURGY Inspiration for the week When you wake up in the morning, whose voice is the first one you listen to? Your own? Someone else’s? Or God? We all listen to someone and follow some sort of guidelines and principles. If it is a secular voice that propels us to get up in the morning and take up the task of the day’s agenda, then we may find ourselves off track. The advice found in the Acts of the Apostles was as true then as it is now, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Most of what we listen to in secular voices is off the axis of truth and distorted. It may sound attractive, but it is deceptive at best. Many have gone astray like sheep and need to return to the Good Shepherd. Only Jesus can offer us the gate of life, and only Jesus as the Good Shepherd can really motivate us to take on the challenges of life. If we don’t recognize his voice, we can risk facing destruction.

QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK Invite Parishioners to Reflect and Respond to ScriptureFirst ReadingLuke tells us that Peter often testified: “Save yourself from this corrupt generation.” How is this message still applicable today?

Second ReadingPeter asserts that the virtue of patience in one’s suffering is a grace from God because Jesus modeled patient suffering. How does the exercise of this spiritual disposition help bring peace of mind?

Gospel ReadingUsing the metaphor of sheep and gatekeeper, Jesus teaches his disciples the importance of remaining focused on his voice. Why do you think people are so easily distracted from other voices?

“I am the gate. Whoever

enters through me will be

saved, and will come in and

go out and find pasture. A

theif comes only to steal

and slaughter and destroy;

I came so that they might

have life and have it more

abundantly.”

— Jn 10:9-10
