In this Commentary Clip Exclusive, Tony discusses the Gospel Reading for the 4th Sunday of Easter in light of the previous Sunday’s Gospel where Jesus had called Peter to follow Him. As Tony explains, Jesus’ prediction of the way St. Peter’s life would end also represents the type of life the Good Shepherd calls each member of His flock to live. Namely, lives of self-sacrificing love.
