Join Us for the Second Sunday after Easter, April 10, 2016

Second Sunday after Easter, April 10th, 2016

In both of the readings appointed for today's Mass coming from the Epistle and the Gospel, both readings focus on Our Blessed Lord being the Good Shepherd.  In the First Epistle from St. Peter, we hear:  "For ye were as sheep going astray." (I St. Peter 2:19 ff)  I do not know much about sheep, but I have a bit of experience with cats and dogs and other such creatures in the "household pet variety," and I know that very often you can not find them without going after them.  Alright, in fairness, I'm really talking about cats more than dogs.  Dogs, in my experience, will pretty much come when you call them.  Cats, on the other hand, well .. . . . .  let's just say dogs will come when you call them.  In this sense, in my humble opinion at least, human beings more closely resemble cats.  We do what we want to do, for the most part.  If we set our mind on something, we go and do it.  And oftentimes this leads to us human beings getting into terrible jams.  We have all heard the term, "Curiosity killed the cat."  Well, again, curiosity has done an awful lot of bad things to human beings as well.  So many of us have "gone astray" in our lives at one point or another.  So many of us were as "lost sheep."  But thank God that we have such a loving Saviour that is the Shepherd of our souls!  Thank God that we have the Good Shepherd that is just as concerned as the one lost sheep as He is the other Ninety and Nine.  

Two opportunities for Mass on Sunday, April 10th, 2016:

At 9:30 AM, St. Margaret Church gathers together to worship God.  Mass is celebrated in the beautiful chapel at Marquette Manor, located at 8140 N. Township Line Road on the Northwest side of Indianapolis.  

At 1:00 PM, Holy Spirit Church comes together to worship Our Risen Saviour.  Mass is celebrated in the beautiful, historic First Presbyterian Church, located at 116 W. South Street in Greenfield, Indiana.

Come worship at either church.  We use the King James Version of the Bible and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.
