Lectionary Preaching Workbook
This is Good Shepherd Sunday, which occurs, as earlier commentary has pointed out, one week later in the new lectionary than in the traditional lectionaries. The Gospel for the Day, in, all three cycles/series/years, comes from John 10, the Good Shepherd chapter of St. John. The Gospel for Cycle B is the traditional Gospel for Good Shepherd Sunday. The altar/apse mosaics in the ancient churches make it patently evident that the church has always seen the risen Lord as the Good Shepherd.
