I will Search for My Sheep.
Shepherds guard the sheep. The shepherd walks in front of
the sheep and the sheep follow him. Sheep are very faithful and trust the
shepherd. As the sheep are delicate and tender animals they need special care.
The good shepherd gives that care to his sheep. He not only feeds and lives on them but also
cares for them. The shepherd's care for the sheep is equal to the care of his
affairs and health.
The Lord is the shepherd of Israel. The people of
Israel lacked a good shepherd among them. He sends the prophets as their shepherds. As the
sheep lacked good shepherds so too the people lacked good shepherd who could
guard them and protect them. The people are scattered and attacked by evil ones.
The Lord himself will God search for his
people and save them. God will not abandon his people. His love is like a good
shepherd.
Who are my shepherds?
Pope St Pius X
