Today’s Gospel (John 10:1-10) portrays Christ is our Good Shepherd who recognises the voice of His sheep and their characteristics and their limitations. A Good Shepherd cares for and looks out for the flock. He protects, guides, directs and feeds them personally. May the Good Shepherd speaks to us through His Word, and that we will hear His voice and obey to Him.
Today the Church celebrates the 57th World Day of Prayer for Vocations. It is a day that we need to promote vocations to the Priesthood and Consecrated Life. On this day the Holy Father invites us to reflect on four key words – “pain, gratitude, encouragement and praise – as a way of thanking priest and supporting their ministry.”
We pray for the priests and religious that the Good Shepherd will continue to strengthen and bless them in their ministries. We also pray for our young people that they will respond courageously and generously to answer God’s call to the Priesthood and Consecrated Life by saying – “Here, I am Lord, I come to do Your will!”. Mother Mary always accompanies and intercedes for you.
“The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.”(Ps 23)
