While walking along a country lane in Bolivia, Father Tom Lynch encountered a young girl shepherding a small flock of sheep. Her dignity, purpose, and total dedication to her task left a lasting impression.
In this reflection, Fr. Tom connects that powerful image to the way God the Father entrusts us—His most precious gift—to His Son, Jesus Christ. Just as the young girl was fixed on the safety of her flock, Jesus is the Good Shepherd who is totally dedicated to leading, guiding, and loving us.
Join us as we explore how to be mindful of God’s great love during this Easter season and strive to become the best versions of ourselves under His care.
