Alternative Collect for the Fourth Sunday of Easter

When we consider the picture

Of Sheep and Shepherds

We realise that, if we are sheep

We are clever sheep who can help each other

And we question whether our Shepherds can be trusted

But we are not sheep

We are people

May we lead each other to Green Pastures

As we abandon the ‘rod and staff’

And may we pursue goodness and mercy, for as long as we live.

Amen.
