The Call of the Shepherd

Unlike Western shepherds who drive their herds from behind with trained dogs, Palestinians led their flocks with a unique call. Sheep aren’t the most intelligent animals in the world, but they do recognize their human leader. And they respond to the loving care that call represents. Shouldn’t we respond in kind to the Lord’s call?

apostolic-times.com continues with context for the season's readings. In Acts 2, St. Peter exhorted his audience to repent and believe. In 1 Peter 2, the author pointed to Christ as the Good Shepherd. In John 10, Jesus pictured himself as the shepherd and the sheep gate.
