He provides for our needs along the way so we can live in the Abundant Life He desires us.
He keeps us close, so that we experience closeness to the Father and to the Son.
Our Good Shepherd Jesus is the Lamb Who was slain to bring us salvation, and He now leads us to Eternal Life.
Such a glorious reality inspires us to proclaim this Good News to all the world. Even when we face opposition, God consoles us, because He cares for us like a Good Shepherd.
The Church furthermore rejoices that we have a new earthly shepherd in Pope Leo XIV. We pray that he will be faithful to his office and lead us like the Good Shepherd.
And we can all be shepherds guiding one another to encountering God's presence that is so real and joyful in light of the Resurrection.
