Reflect, today, upon these two images of Jesus the Good Shepherd. First, ponder the tender and gentle Lord Who welcomes you and cares for you in a holy, compassionate, and endearing way.
We pray to the Good Shepherd, protect all of us, our children, lead us to the green pastures of peace and hope. Even if we walk in the valley of darkness, let you hand guide us.
This is not the time to discriminate. Our Good Shepherd urges us to see all suffering brothers and sisters in COVD as my brother and sister. This inclusive love is Jesus' love.
