Dear Parishioners,��

�

Jesus referred to himself as a shepherd. He said, “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” A shepherd knows his sheep well. Jesus knows each of us by name. We respond to his voice and do not follow the voice of strangers who may lead us to harm. Jesus said, “ I am the good shepherd, A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep “ ( John 10:110) . Unlike a hired hand who flees to save his life, Jesus saved his flock from the wolf event though it meant sacrificing his own life.��

�

When Jesus gave Peter the responsibility of leading his Church, he again used shepherd imagery . He told Peter, “Feed my lambs …. Tend my sheep…. Feed�my sheep” (John 21:15�17).��

�

Knowing about shepherds sheds light on the image of Jesus as shepherd. The shepherd uses a staff with a hook on the end to guide the sheep and pull back the stray. Today Jesus guides his flock though�bishops, who are known as pastors, the Latin word�for shepherds. Bishops carry staffs called crosiers.��

�

The shepherd has a rod to fend off wild animals that�might harm the flock. Jesus saved us from evil. Jesus�restores our souls.��

�

Shepherds feed their flocks. Jesus feeds us with the excellent bread of the Eucharist and brings us to�Living waters: baptism and the Holy Spirit.��

�

�

�

God bless you always,��

�
