Homily given at the 11:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, May 12, 2019, the 4th Sunday of Easter, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. This Sunday is also Mother's Day.

Fr. Ed notes that in today's Gospel, Jesus, the Good Shepherd, says that "My sheep hear My voice." One of the things that the Shepherd is calling us to do is to defend the dignity of women and of motherhood. For that, we need more of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially the gifts of courage and wisdom.
