The Fourth Sunday of Easter is often called “Good Shepherd Sunday” because no matter what reading cycle we are in, the Gospel always focusses on the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd.

Fr Anthony Scerri has published his reminiscences of his long and varied life as a Carmelite.

St Titus, a Dutch Carmelite priest, was noted for his resistance to the Nazis, for which he was arrested and transported to Dachau concentration camp, where he died in 1942. He was canonised in 2022. Fr Fernando Millán Romeral, O.Carm. (an expert on Brandsma, based in Madrid), delivered the lecture at Trinity College, Dublin.

Some years ago, I visited the Pro Hart Gallery in Broken Hill. Tucked up in the upper reaches of the gallery, was a painting quite different to the others.

Fr Albino Dos Santos graduated with a Masters degree in Theological Studies and Br Anacleto Guterres Da Costa with a Bachelors degree in Theology on 24 March at St Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne.
