Roebuck Carmel
A Celtic Journey with St. John of the Cross
We would like to share with you two beautiful musical reflections in honour of Our Lady and St John of the Cross recorded by Kerrie O’Connor and friends in our Chapel. We vacated the Chapel one afternoon while they did all the hard work!! The first one is available on youtube and the second will be available for the feast of St John of the Cross on 14th December. We hope you will enjoy. https://youtu.be/R2YGDeZ0haE

Sunday Reflections
4th Sunday of Easter
Acts 4:8-12
1 John 3:1-2
John 10:11-18
When Moses asked God for some identification, God replied ‘I am who I am’. And that is how we regard God to this day.
During the past week we read from the Acts of the Apostles how Paul asked Jesus ‘Who are you, Lord?’ The Lord replied, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting!’ Another time when Jesus is asked for identification is by Pilate: ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Other occasions when Jesus identifies himself are opportunities for Him to explain to those listening what his mission is and to give them images of himself which will be helpful and reassuring, images that are in themselves salvific.
But when Jesus appears to the disciples after the Resurrection, nobody asked him ‘who are you? They knew very well that it was the Lord’. These were the ones who had heard him describe himself while he was with them – in language that they understood.
In the Gospel of St John Jesus identifies Himself seven times with titles which we now know very well. Each one of these titles help us to see and understand different aspects of His life and His ministry to us.
