The Good Shepherd

LUKE 15:4-7 Who among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wasteland and follow the lost one until he finds it? And when he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders in jubilation. Once arrived home, he invites friends and neighbors in and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you, there will likewise be more joy in heaven over one repentant sinner than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need to repent.

REFLECT: Would I deny myself the love and forgiveness of the Lord by repenting over my sin?

PRAY: JESUS, give me the courage to accept and proclaim you to others.

ACT: Receive Jesus’ love and mercy and share it with others.
