On the Feast of the Good Shepherd

Today in mass my prayers were for those who have a special devotion to the image of Our Lord as the Good Shepherd.  Especially for Pat and Ben. 

Jesus said:  "My sheep hear my voice.  I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.  No one shall snatch them out of my hand.  My Father is greater than all, in what He has given me, and there is no snatching out of His hand.  The Father and I are one."

The Holy Gospel according to John 10:27-30
