GOSPEL REFLECTION
In the Good Shepherd discourse (John 10:1-42), Jesus described his purpose before a sceptical audience. He acts like a dedicated shepherd. He protects his flock against thieves and wolves even to the point of death. He befriends his followers, as a
shepherd who treats each sheep like we treat our favourite family pet. He loves each and every one of us, his followers, intimately.
As his sheep, we follow his call. Our relationship is more than call and response, however. Jesus gives us a life that cannot be taken away. With this life we are in the hands of Jesus and the hands of the Father.
