The Call of the Good Shepherd

The Twenty-third Psalm, today's responsorial psalm, is arguably the best known of all the psalms. The line that reads "Even though I walk in the dark valley / I fear no evil; for you are at my side / with your rod and your staff/that give me courage" (Psalm 23:4) connects this week's scriptures to the wonderful story of the road to Emmaus, which we heard last week.

The Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is constantly at our side. He calls us each by name, beckoning us into a deeper relationship with him. That call, issued to each of us at the moment of our baptism, carries with it the promise of the Good Shepherd: "I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

Message of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for the 63rd World Day of Prayer for Vocations

4th Sunday of Easter - 26 April 2026

The Interior Discovery of God’s Gift

Dear brothers and sisters, dear young people!

Guided and protected by the Risen Jesus, we celebrate on the fourth Sunday of Easter - also called “Good Shepherd Sunday” - the 63rd World Day of Prayer for Vocations. It is an occasion of grace in which we share some reflections on the interior dimension of vocation, understood as the discovery of God’s free gift that blossoms in the depths of our hearts. Let us explore together the truly beautiful path of life along which the Shepherd guides us.

El llamado del Buen Pastor

El salmo responsorial de hoy es el Salmo 23 y sin duda es el más conocido de los salmos. Los versos que rezan: "Aunque camine por cañadas oscuras, / nada temo, porque tú vas conmigo: / tu vara y tu cayado me sosiegan" (Salmo 23:4) se vinculan en las lecturas bíblicas de esta semana con el maravilloso relato sobre el camino a Emaús, que escuchamos la semana pasada.

El Señor Jesús, nuestro Buen Pastor, está constantemente a nuestro lado. Nos llama por nuestro nombre, atrayéndonos a una más profunda relación con él. Ese llamado, hecho a cada uno de nosotros en el momento de nuestro bautismo, lleva la promesa del Buen Pastor: "Yo he venido para que tengan vida y la tengan en abundancia" (Juan 10:10).

Recorramos pues juntos el camino de una vida verdaderamente hermosa, que el Pastor nos muestra.
