Standing before the Good Shepherd window at St. Pius V parish in Chicago, Father Tom Lynch shares a corrected and heart-warming story from Deacon Antonio Guerrero’s youth.
When young Antonio was asked to "shoo" the sheep to pasture, he quickly learned that being a shepherd is about more than just opening a gate. It’s about a relationship built from birth. Watch as Fr. Tom explains how the sheep—Panchito and Rosita—responded to their owner’s voice, and what that means for us as we navigate our own lives today.
**Key Highlights:**
* The difference between "chasing" sheep and "leading" them.
* The names of the flock: Why Panchito and Rosita listened.
* How God speaks directly to our "human spirit."
* Preparation for Good Shepherd Sunday.
