While we can and should take comfort in the Shepherd’s provident care and protection – and the gift of eternal life that he offers us – we can only say we truly know this Good Shepherd if we are willing to listen to his voice and follow his commands in the cacophony of the noisy world we live
in. In this fourth week of the Easter season, we would do well to remember the words of Saint Cyril of Alexandria: “The mark of Christ’s sheep is their willingness to hear and obey…People who hear God’s voice are known by him.”
Adults: What “noise” in your everyday life keeps you from hearing the voice of Jesus?
Children: Do you make some quiet time for Jesus every day?
