🐑 I am the Good Shepherd
(John 10:11)
This Fourth Sunday of Easter, the Church invites us to look at Jesus, the Good Shepherd who gives His life for His sheep. Not a boss, not a distant leader: a Shepherd who knows us, loves us, and gives Himself for us.
Today we want to make a special call to parents – fathers, mothers, and anyone who has people under their care:
👉 Be shepherds in your homes.
Not perfect shepherds, but faithful ones. Through your example of faith, your time, your listening, and your tenderness, lead your children to meet Jesus.
The world needs homes where love is not authoritarianism but service; where authority is guidance, not a burden.
🙏 Let us ask the Lord:
Help us to be good shepherds to those we love. May we give our lives in small ways: with a word of encouragement, a loving correction, and a faith lived out every day.
What does being a “shepherd” in your family mean to you? I’ll read you in the comments. 👇
