Easter 4C/Mother’s Day

Easter 4C/Mother’s Day

John 10:22-30

Mother’s Day and Good Shepherd Sunday share some things. Both have a primary image and secondary image. While one image is dominant, the day can’t exist without the other. For Mother’s Day, it is mothers and their children. For Good Shepherd Sunday, it is the Good Shepherd and his flock. So just as Mother’s Day is primarily about mothers but also involves the appreciation of their children, so Good Shepherd Sunday is primarily about the gifts of the shepherd but also is about the response of the sheep to the gifts of the shepherd.
