The term Good shepherd is so familiar with us as Catholics. Not only in the New Testament does Jesus call himself a shepherd but in the Old Testament God is also referred to as a shepherd. Certainly in both Old and New Testaments, a shepherd was attributed to God as a Good Shepherd.
Today's gospel is the super short one. Nevertheless this Gospel tells us perfectly all about the quality of a good shepherd who is our Lord Jesus Christ. He considers us as the most precious gift from his Father "what my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one." (Jn 10.29.30)
Talking about the good shepherd we may
tend to refer only to our leaders rather than reflect on how we are all shepherds to one another and we must try to live our lives reflecting on Jesus' shepherding. Shepherding here is nothing different than the kingly mission that we all share with Jesus Christ through our Baptism. It is service that we must go farther to give up our lives to our brothers and sisters. The best prize for our service to one another is eternal life promised by our Good Shepherd who we reflect on in today's gospel "I give them eternal life" (Jn 10.28)
We all want to be children of God. It is our best choice as well as our best gift from God. On this Sunday of Good Shepherd we pray that all of us may constantly strive to live out our dignity as God's children, brothers and
sisters of our big brother, Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd. Service is the only thing that we must focus on if we are really God's children. Jesus set his example of the best service for us when he totally gave up his life for us all.
Sincerely yours in Christ
Fr. Peter Thang Nguyen Your pastor.
