← Fr. Jim Willig Gospel Teachings
Good Shepherd
That's the end of this gospel study.
Fr. Jim muses that in the animal world, the sheep are not the most wise of creatures and so for us to be compared to the sheep is not a great compliment. The sheep are often weak and foolish, a comparison that we must admit often fits us as well. Listen for Fr. Jim's redeeming lesson on our role as God's flock with Jesus as our shepherd.
The reading
John 10:27–30
Jesus said:
“My sheep hear my voice;
I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
