Jn 10-27-30, May 11-25 Are there shepherds amongst us?

Send us Fan MailJesus portrays shepherds as protectors and guides for the sheep.  Likely they served as metaphors of God’s protective and guiding nature.  I wonder if there is more here.  Perhaps the shepherd has a role to play in our faith.  We don’t see many shepherds in most western towns and cities.   When I think of shepherds, I think of individuals who knew and protected their sheep.  They were very interested in their welfare and wanted to see them grow into adults.  It seems that the modern-day shepherds are  what we call mentors today.  Complete our 1 Minute Survey
