(St. Joseph the Worker)
Jesus said: “I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep.” Jn_10:11-18
So, why would we put all our stock in the uncommitted, hired man, when we could be following the “Good Shepherd”? Why would we BE that imperfect hired man ourselves, when we could be the true Shepherds that God created us to be? Stop following “the world,” beloved, and seek the Truth, BE the Truth, follow Jesus, and Him alone!
Happy May Day!
God’s blessings, in Christ, always!
