Our Lord says, “My sheep hear my voice” (Jn. 10:27). In order to hear the voice of our Good Shepherd, we have to deliberately temper the distractions so that we can focus. We have to deliberately set aside a ‘quiet’ space and time in order to listen. We have to quell our self-absorbed agenda and duties, including the voices of others emanating from their lips and smart phones, so that we can truly hear the words of our Shepherd.
We listen and follow our Shepherd because He gives us the gift of eternal life.
Loving Shepherd, speak to us, for Your words have the power to raise us from the tombs of our sin, sadness and death. Speak life to us so that we can glorify Your holy name. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
