Praying with the Pope in April 2018
That economists may have the courage to reject any economy of exclusion and know how to open new paths.

Jesus the good shepherd
Jesus was a shepherd,
A nice one slim and tall.
He loved the sheep so much,
He loved them one and all.
The sheep began to know Him,
Spending time grazing the hills.
Soon they knew His voice,
And followed as He willed.
The sheep began to grow,
Stronger and lovelier every day.
They became good friends,
With their Shepherd right away.
Today is Good Shepherd Sunday - the day we traditionally pray
for more vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Good Shepherd Sunday
Today the readings focus on Jesus being the Good Shepherd who takes care of his flock. We pray for priests today and ask the Lord of the harvest to send more labourers to gather his harvest. Please pray for more vocations today.
There is a second collection today at the end of Mass for the training of priests of the Salford Diocese. Please be generous.
