Friends, we come to the Fourth Sunday of Easter, known as Good Shepherd Sunday. Jesus says in the Gospel, “I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” What is it about that image that sings to us across the ages, from the pages of the Bible to the present day? What I want to do is reflect on this image of the shepherd-first, in relation to Jesus, then second, in relation to leadership in the life of the Church.

That despite flaws, they will set the example, and be present to the people they serve. I also pray that God will continue to guide me, and help me follow only His will. Thank you, Bishop Barron.

I was lucky once as I saw a real shepherd with his flock. I was driving somewhere in south Bavaria, Germany and north Switzerland. I had to stop as the Shepperd stopped the traffic so his flock could cross the road. It was a magical moment. So humble! Listening to the sheep cross the road so confident and trusting. I am lucky to see what the Lord Jesus meant! Thank you lord.

@anasc9970 28 дней назад

Dear Bishop, I always appreciate your content. I was raised Catholic in a Catholic family that was "sleepy" to the Church. Going to church stopped being frequent many years ago, as a child, until we stopped going altogether. We became non-practicing Catholics. We fall asleep to the Church but not to faith. By faith, I decided to return to the Church after... reading the Bible. It awakened something in me that I had been crying out for for a long time: a thirst for belonging but more than that, a hunger for the Eucharist. From an inert position, I started to share my faith with my friends (they belong to another religion). In the theme of the Good Shepherd, which I deeply relate to the Divine essence existing - in its fullness - in the human condition of Jesus, I was approached with the question: How did Jesus know the hearts and thoughts of people, the past of the Samaritan woman, the death of Lazarus, Nathanaiel under the fig tree,..., and not knowing the day or the hour; the place where Lazarus was buried, for example? I replied that Jesus, being a man, was unaware of things that the human condition dictated but that, being divine, and Shepherd of his sheep, he knew their past, their thoughts, their state. The Good Shepherd knows His sheep (body and soul) but, everything earthly (day/time/place) was dissipated in the humanity of Christ. He came for His sheep and He saw and knew them as only God can know us. Was my answer wrong? I am re-learning all aspects of faith and sharing it is still not always easy for me.

@MrTonyd1954 29 дней назад

Thanks again Bishop Barron. As lay people we also need to be Shepherds in our local communities not just the clergy. Especially with the flock that has fallen behind and is need: evangelization, care of the sick, visiting the needy, etc. Thank you Father Barron for opening my eyes and seeing clearly the word and truth of scripture.

@BernadetteHeeke 28 дней назад

Several years ago, I invited a local family, who raise sheep, to bring her sheep to a class of younger children ( grades 1-4) and explain what it means/ takes to take care of her sheep. She explained the true work and the time it took to take care of her sheep. What the children found most astounding was that as the sheep ran around in the classroom area, the sheep would not respond to the children as the children tried to get their attention. However, once the sheep heard their " shepherd" the sheep stopped what they were doing and returned immediately to their " shepherd" it was a great learning as we talked about the Good Shepherd. It truly was effective lesson.

My neighbor, now 86 came to America at age 15 as a Shepard. (We have sheep in Dixon CA). His brother is a priest. He’s a joy to have as a neighbor. He and wife raised awesome children and grandchildren. As I mother, knew my children were not mine but given me by the Good Shepard. Seems like all Catholics understand the Shepard on some level. ( I was lost and then I was found). Enjoy your talks. Peace to you and all who listen.

@patriciasette3040 29 дней назад

Well, I knew two shepherds - my grandparents, who were shepherds in the early twentieth century back in the Abruzzo mountains. When my grandfather would read aloud the Christmas story and come to the part about shepherds, he would say, "That's us," even though by then the family members were teachers, lawyers and business people. I remember being at work in the eighties when, since the computers were "down" as happened then, someone started chatting about grandparents. One colleague's grandfather had been a judge, another a distinguished business owner ... when I said mine were shepherds, they laughed with disbelief. Impossible that someone working alongide them in a Manhattan office had lowly shepherds as forebears. The conversation was growing testy when my boss noted, "We work here in a hermetically sealed business office under fluorescent lights, and her grandparents worked on the sunny Italian hillsides." That made them stop and consider the many brilliantly lovely days they spent staring at computer screens. A quick last thought: There are many sheep in this country and around the world. Who do we think tends to them? And what do we call these people? Cowboys? No, I guess we can describe them as "shepherds."

My life is changing for the better and has a momentum that's a little unsettling at times. I used to think I had a good life, it's not that it was so bad, it's just become so much better now. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear! Thank you for your hard work and devotion.

It’s hard to be a good sheep too. The spirit of the age for hundreds of years has been to rebel and resent anyone who tries to shepherd you in any form. Early in my conversion I nearly fell under the sway of former Protestants who brought their toxic spirit of pride and selfishness into the church and now sit in judgment of the entire upper hierarchy over them as if there’s no need for humility. I had to say to myself you better trust that if the leaders made a mistake along the way then the Holy Spirit will lead them to correct it, and if not you’ll be glad if you don’t think your judgment is better than everyone else. ❤

The more humble you become with Agape Love for all, the more beauty you will see in your Family and Neighbors. The more Joy and happiness you will have all around you. The lower pride unfurls its haughty wing, The more Agape's love begins to sing. Humility, a cloak of gentle grace, Reveals the beauty etched on every face. In family's eyes, a deeper light now gleams, Their faults dissolve, replaced by cherished dreams. Neighbors you once saw as strangers cold, Now shine with stories waiting to unfold. For when we bend, with hearts devoid of pride, The world around us, blooms from far and wide. Joy finds a home, where kindness takes its stand, And happiness, a gift in every hand. So shed the weight of self-importance grand, Let Agape's love transform this barren land. Embrace the world with open arms and see, The boundless beauty, waiting boundlessly.

In my science fiction novel, I used the imagery of the good shepherd to describe the role of the starship captain, and I used precisely this imagery and language. I think there is a tendency for science fiction to be atheistic and dystopian and so I wove Christ figure imagery all through my book. My best friend Jo is a shepherdess so I ran all my reflections past her to assure accuracy.
