The Good Shepherd

The Gospel reading during the celebration of Good Shepherd Sunday came from the Gospel according to 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. No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one."

It is my fervent hope that in the coming elections, we - as a people of God - will listen to His voice. That we - as a nation of our Lord - shall be guided by His Will and not our own. That our public officials and most especially those running for positions of power will espouse the virtues and values of a true and Good Shepherd.
