“Don’t Go Astray”
©2017 James Dacey, Jr. OFS
My Friends,
Today’s Gospel: John 10:1-10 (The Good Shepherd)
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he
who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that
man is a thief and a robber; but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of
the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls
his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own,
he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A
stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not
know the voice of strangers." This figure Jesus used with them, but they
did not understand what he was saying to them. So, Jesus again said to them,
"Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came
before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them. I am the
door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and
find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that
they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
Reflection:
Fully focused on Jesus
There can be no other way;
Fully completely focused on Jesus
We must do this every single day.
Let us not lose our focus, in
this life
The lies of the world are meant
to deceive;
You must be bold, don’t be scared
Keep your allegiance to Jesus,
you shall receive.
Learn His Word, Know His Voice
Remain focused on the Lord above;
Learn His Word, Know His Voice
For it is Jesus alone that is
love.
Pondering these thoughts today: Might I encourage you to live a life fully and completely devoted to Jesus Christ. Spend your time thinking about Jesus, know His Word, know His life, know all about Him. Study scripture in such a way that it becomes part of your everyday habit. Become very familiar with who Jesus is; in your life and on your spiritual journey to Heaven. Embrace a wholesome, deep, unique private prayer life. Go to adoration as often as possible. Go to Mass as often as possible and go to confession as often as possible. And always put others before yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and draw you closer to Jesus, your life will never be the same.
