“I have other sheep that do not belong to

this fold. These also I must lead, and

they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. This is why

the Father loves me, because I lay down

my life in order to take it up again.” -

Jn 10:16-17

4TH SUNDAY OF EASTER

"And I will lay down my life for

the sheep." Jesus himself gave us

the image of himself as the Good

Shepherd. In trying to teach us

about who he was, his love for us,

and his mission to save us, he

chose to speak in these terms. The

picture is a comforting one. We

can imagine the natural beauty of

a shepherd on a hillside, gently leading and guiding his sheep

to the places where all their needs are met. The shepherd

makes sure they are fed, watered, rested, and, of course, safe.

This last element is what separates a good shepherd from a

bad one. When a threat approaches his flock, the good

shepherd will do whatever is necessary to save them, even at

risk of his own safety. The bad shepherd, on the other hand,

thinks only of himself and abandons the sheep in order to

protect his own skin. It's important, in understanding the

analogy, for us to realize that we, the sheep of Christ's

pasture, do face real threats, though they may be the kind that

are hard to recognize. The wolves that prowl around our souls

are the vices of anger, jealousy, lust, greed, gluttony, vanity,

and laziness. We traditionally call these the seven deadly

sins, and they are truly deadly. When we give in to them, we

cut off our souls from the source of real life: God. But Jesus

is the Good Shepherd, who lays down his life for us, literally.

Jesus suffered and died on the cross, taking away the deadly

consequence of sin. This selfless act has saved us by offering

the forgiveness and reconciliation that our souls, weak and

weary from the attacks of evil, desperately need. What a gift

to be in the care of such a shepherd. What a joy to be in this

flock where, as Jesus says, "I know mine and mine know

me."
