WEDNESDAY 20 AUGUST 2025 Saint Bernard A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (10:2-4) Jesus said to his disciples: “The gatekeeper opens the gate for the shepherd, and he goes in through it. The sheep know their shepherd’s voice. He calls each of them by name and leads them out. When he has led out all of his sheep, he walks in front of them, and they follow, because they know his voice.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. We Gather... We celebrate the work of Saint Bernard whose leadership and learning was admired by all. Let us pray for a greater knowledge of God. (pause) God of all wisdom, may we, like Saint Bernard, fill our lives with love for others. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. We Listen... We Reflect... Watch this video on a flock of sheep and their shepherd. Will the sheep recognise their shepherd’s voice? Jesus is our shepherd - know his voice and follow him. We Go into the World... May we hear Jesus’ voice and follow him. Amen. May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 146
