Dear Fellow Parishioners,

This week we only have familiar songs at Mass, including the psalm!! The words can be found in this attachment.

This week three of the four readings talk of shepherds, ending with Jesus saying that the people were like sheep without a shepherd. So, I found some songs with the shepherd theme that I didn’t share on Good Shepherd Sunday.

For those of you who enjoy classical music, I have:

• ‘He Shall Feed His Flock’ from the Messiah by Handel and sung here by Regula Mühlemann.

• ‘The Lord’s My Shepherd’ by Aileen Gilchrist
  https://youtu.be/IDAIwMvFcXQ This hymn first appeared in Scotland in 1650 and this is a beautiful rendition.
• Another old hymn: ‘Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us’ nicely sung by the Joslin Grove Choir

The rest are more modern:

• ‘Like a Shepherd, He Leads Us’ by Lisa Glasgow

• ‘Shepherd’ by CeCe Winans

• ‘I Am the Lamb (That the Shepherd Left the Flock For) by the Booth Brothers
  https://youtu.be/4Zxc5FhXT5U
• ‘The Shepherd’s Song (Why Aren’t You Following Me?) sung by John Alton Boutwell

• ‘I Am the Good Shepherd’ by Faithful Heart featuring Kelly Willard https://youtu.be/vTjDL_Y6ENY
• ‘The Good Shepherd’ by the Tommy Walker Ministries

Well, those should keep you busy for a while! Enjoy the music and have a week filled with blessings!
