Good-Shepherd-cropped

 “The matter of equality in dignity asks us to rethink many aspects of our relations, which are decisive for evangelization. For example, are we aware of the fact that with our words we can undermine the dignity of people, thus ruining relationships within the Church? While we try to engage in dialogue with the world, do we also know how to dialogue among ourselves as believers? Or in the parish, one person goes against another, one speaks badly of another in order to climb up further? Do we know how to listen to understand another person’s reasons, or do we impose ourselves, perhaps even with appeasing words? To listen, to be humble, to be at the service of others: this is serving, this is being Christian, this is being an apostle.” 
Pope Francis

If you see Psalm 23, you feel watched and cared for. “You are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” A crisis can break our defenses. There is green water in time of struggles.The holy shepherd calls us each by name.The sheep intermingle with the shepherd. He calls and they follow. I am a follower of Christ on still water. We are attentive to God and have life in abundance.We are called to reconciliation, trust and courage. We find rest in His peace!
