Third Sunday after Easter

The following resources are in the form of a video presentation

  • The readings for the day
  • (a useful commentary on these readings here )
  • A Gospel Reflection by Fr Alex
  • Prayers of Intercession
  • Closing reflective music

Having listened to the readings, the homily and the prayers, you might want simply to reflect yourself on what you have heard and how that might flow into your coming week. Some people have found it very helpful to meet with others and share their thoughts.

If you are interested  in joining a small group to share your thoughts and feelings about God's Word from any of the resources you have watched please email us.         cluster.alpha@outlook.com


Questions for reflection (framed for a group discussion)

“You are witnesses to this.” These are the last words of the gospel for this Sunday.

They witnessed the risen Jesus with their eyes; we have witnessed it with our faith. “Blessed are those,” Jesus said last week, “who have not seen yet believed.”

So we are blessed, but are we witnesses?

Reflect/share on the ways that we are witnesses to Jesus in our lives

and on some of the difficulties we face in being better witnesses.

Preparing for next week

For those who would like to start reflecting on next week's gospel,

the text can be found here.

Preparing for next week’s gospel:  Fourth Sunday after Easter
John 10:11-18       The good shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep.

Question for reflection.

Was there a time when you felt lost and needed someone to find you?

Who, among the people you know, looks like that at the moment?
