Reflection of ‘Good Shepherd Sunday…’
Good Shepherd Sunday is the on the Fourth Sunday of Easter, on which the Gospel passage of the Good Shepherd is shared in Church. The symbolism of Christ as a shepherd comes directly from the gospel of John, in which Christ is leading the faithful and will lay down his life for the sheep, or those who are faithful to him. And while Good Shepherd Sunday is certainly the perfect time to pray for our priests, bishops, and all those who shepherd the Lord’s flock, it is also an opportunity to look at our own lives, and how we can be good shepherds to those in our care.
