And wouldn't you know it, I happen to have access to the treasures of the saints stored up in heaven. For a *small* fee, I'll grant you access for yourself and even the departed. I'll have my man Tetzel bring by the paperwork.

Caveat: I've only looked at Easter 2-4 Yr A, and the Good Shepherd reading is a good choice, especially when we'll read Mt 25 on Christ the King this year.
