“I Know Them”
“I know
them, and they follow me.”
This verse
from the Gospel for this Good Shepherd Sunday tells us much about the Christian
vocation. The call to follow Jesus is a
gift of love from the God who knows me.
Thus, following
Jesus according to my unique vocation is my response to his love.
In so
doing, I “may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth” (First Reading).
Today, we
thank God for our mothers – by living their vocations, they bring God’s love to
us and the world.
On this
Good Shepherd Sunday, please pray for priests and religious, and for more
vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life.
