The Good Shepherd

Fear not, little flock, it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

I am the good shepherd. I know my flock and they know me, even as the Father knows me and I know the Father. I am willing to give my life for the sake of the sheep. My sheep recognize my voice. I know them each by name, and they follow me. I give them eternal life. They will never be destroyed, nor can anyone tear them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than any kingdom or power, and no force is able to pluck even the weakest from his mighty hand. Still, there are many sheep that are lost outside the fold: I must gather them as well. They too will rejoice at the sound of my voice and will become members of one great fold, with one shepherd to care for them night and day.

He that enters in by the front door of the fold is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens the door, and the sheep thrill at the sound of his voice. He calls them each by name, and leads them out to green pastures. When he leads the sheep out to graze, he goes before them. They follow him, comforted by the words that he speaks. They will not follow a stranger; instead, they run from the sound of an unfamiliar voice.

I am the good shepherd who gives my life for the sheep. The hired hand is no substitute. He does not care for the sheep as if they were his own; and when the wolf comes he runs away, leaving the sheep unguarded. The wolf catches them, and they are scattered.

I am the door to the sheepfold. Those who attempt to enter this fold by any other way are thieves and robbers. Many imposters have come before me, but the sheep did not recognize or follow them. I am the door. Enter by this door and you will be safe, free to go in and out and find food.

This earth is plagued by corruption, by death and destruction. I have come to undo this curse, that you might discover the true meaning of life and be blessed.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, for the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world! For we are all sheep seeking to find home, to be in Your presence of Shepherd for only He knows us, He knows us better than we do ourselves. Only through Him in the Spirit with You can we find comport and what we need to walk in the feeling of that presence. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

V

God in His infinite goodness sometimes sees fit to test our courage and love by depriving us of the things which it seems to us would be advantageous to our souls; and if He finds us earnest in their pursuit, yet humble, tranquil and resigned to do without them if He wishes us to, He will give us more blessings than we should have had in the possession of what we craved.

— St. Philip Neri

Hebrews 5:1-10

1  For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.  2  He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.  3  Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people.  4  And one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.  5  So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";  6  as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz’edek."  7  In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear.  8  Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;  9  and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,  10  being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchiz’edek. 
Psalm 110:1-4
Mark 2:18-22

18  Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and people came and said to him, "Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"  19  And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.  20  The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.  21  No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.  22  And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but new wine is for fresh skins."

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Call

You have not chosen me. I have chosen you, and appointed you to produce good fruit from the lives that you live, fruit that will last.

I add this to this story: many are called – into the kingdom – but few are chosen. The time has come. The kingdom of God is near at hand. I have called you from the world’s way of living. Repent, put on the garments of salvation, and believe this good news.

No one can come to me unless the Father, who has sent me, draws him; and I will raise up that person on the last day. All of you whom the Father has given me will come to me: and whoever comes to me, I will never refuse.

Enter therefore through the narrow gate; for wide is the path, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many go that way. But narrow is the gate and the path which leads to life, and there are few that find it. Make every effort to go through the gate that leads to life. One day, many will want to exchange their way for the right way, and find it to be too late.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humble, humble knowing very well that whatever I do I seek to do for You, and whatever I accomplish, I do so by Your grace and mercy. For I know I am nothing and can do nothing without in Jesus through the Spirit who is alive in me. And for this knowledge I am thankful and aware of every blessing for which I am also thankful. This is why I am always asking and always praying that in my Richardness I serve You first in Jesus through the Spirit so in me sooner or later those that look see the fruit of the Spirit above the Richardness under the sun. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

No, my dear children, we need never fear that the Mass hinders us in the fulfillment of our temporal affairs; it is altogether the other way around. We may be sure that all will go better and that even our business will succeed better than if we have the misfortune not to assist at Mass.

1 Samuel 3:3-10, 19

9  Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, `Speak, LORD, for thy servant hears.’" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-10

2  He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.  4  Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods!  8  I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law is within my heart." 10  I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.
1 Corinthians 6:13-15, 17-20

17  But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.  18  Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body.  19  Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;  20  you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 
John 1:35-42

35  The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples;  36  and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"  37  The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.  38  Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"  39  He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.  40  One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.  41  He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ).  42  He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

The Trial and the Cross

You have no power at all against me unless it is given to you from above.

Why do you prosecute me by these accusations? Interrogate those who heard me teach. They know very well the things I have said. I did not spread my message in secret, but spoke openly for the world to hear, teaching publicly in places of worship and the courtyards of the temple where my followers gathered.

If what I have said violates your laws, then give evidence of this. But if I have spoken the truth, then why do you strike me?

My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my followers would have taken up arms to defend it, that I should not be delivered into your hands. But mine is not an earthly kingdom. Yet you are right when you accuse me of being a king. To this end was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world: that I should be a witness to the truth. All who love the truth recognize my message. Now will the prince of this world be overthrown, and if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to me.

This above all is why my Father loves me; for I lay down my life willingly that I might take it up again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down; and I have the power to take it up again. The Father has given me this power.

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humble I realize I will never be worthy to serve You, I just need to be willing. Each moment and each memory is Your way of purifying and preparing me to the work at hand. So I ask and pray that through Jesus I will find all I need to serve You well and that in the Spirit I will walk in the feeling of oneness with You, and my Richardness bring glory and honor to You in some small way, according to Your will and purpose for me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

We must neither doubt nor hesitate with respect to the words of the Lord; rather, we must be fully persuaded that every word of God is true and possible, even if our nature should rebel against the idea; for in this lies the test of faith.

Hebrews 4:12-16

12  For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  13  And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.  14  Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  15  For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.  16  Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 
Psalm 19:8-10, 15

8  the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;  9  the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
Mark 2:13-17

13  He went out again beside the sea; and all the crowd gathered about him, and he taught them.  14  And as he passed on, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.  15  And as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.  16  And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"  17  And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

The End Times

Truly I say unto you: this generation shall not pass until all of these things are fulfilled.

If you had only known, in this your day of salvation, that eternal peace was so near at hand! But now it is hidden from your eyes. The powers of the heavens will be shaken, and people’s hearts will fail them for fear, anticipating the calamities that are destined for this world.

Consider the fig tree, and learn from it. When its branches grow full of sap and produce new leaves, one knows that summer is drawing near. Even so, no one knows the exact day, or the precise hour of Messiah’s returning; not even the angels who are in heaven, but only my Father. Yet seeing all of these events beginning to come to pass, know in your heart that the day of completion draws near.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humble I only seek You and to serve You, through Jesus I hope to know You better, in Jesus I hope to know myself better, with the Spirit I know I am one with You, with the Spirit I hope to walk the remaining days under the sun in oneness with You through Jesus in the Spirit. This is my hope this is my prayer for I know that this is all one truly needs anything else is a blessing from You above. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

1 Corinthians 4:9-13

9  For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men.  10  We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.  11  To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are ill-clad and buffeted and homeless,  12  and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;  13  when slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all things.  
Psalm 126:1-6

1  When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.  2  Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, "The LORD has done great things for them."  3  The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.  4  Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb!  5  May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy!  6  He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Matthew 10:16-22

16  "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.  17  Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues,  18  and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles.  19  When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;  20  for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.  21  Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;  22  and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

This Generation

Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in these days of sin and non-belief of that person, the Son of Man will be ashamed when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Still non-believing, this obstinate generation clamours for a sign; but no sign will be granted other than the sign that was given to the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was in the great deep for three days and nights, so the Son of Man will be three days and nights entombed in the earth.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humble, I seek the heart of Jesus and His oneness with You to limit my joy of any moment from becoming another regret of the past due to disobedience or sin – that which is not according to Your ways and nature. I pray that in each moment of obedience somehow You will use me for some good and put me in that path of someone needed reassurance under the sun as You know I do too. In the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.

Hebrews 3:7-14

7  Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, "Today, when you hear his voice,  8  do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,  9  where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years.  10  Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, `They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known my ways.’  11  As I swore in my wrath, `They shall never enter my rest.’"  12  Take care, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.  13  But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today, " that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.  14  For we share in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end, 
Psalm 95:6-11

6  O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!  7  For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. O that today you would hearken to his voice!  8  Harden not your hearts, as at Mer’ibah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,  9  when your fathers tested me, and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.  10  For forty years I loathed that generation and said, "They are a people who err in heart, and they do not regard my ways."  11  Therefore I swore in my anger that they should not enter my rest.
Mark 1:40-45

40  And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."  41  Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I will; be clean."  42  And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.  43  And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once,  44  and said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."  45  But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

An Invitation to Life

Everyone who believes in the Son will have life everlasting.

A wealthy man planned a great banquet, and invited many guests. When the preparations were completed, he sent his servant to gather those who had been invited. "Come,” he said, “for all things are ready."

But all those who had been invited began to make excuses.

The first replied: "I have just purchased a piece of land, and I must go and look at it again. Please have me excused."

The second said: "I have just purchased a herd of cattle, and I must go and examine it. Please have me excused."

A third answered: "I have recently been married, and for this, I cannot attend."

Finally, the servant returned and reported what had happened. Hearing the disappointing news, the master commanded: "Go quickly into the streets of the city, and gather the poor, the lame, the ill, and the blind."

The servant hurried to do this and soon returned, saying: "Sir, I have done as you commanded, and still there is room at the table."

"Go then," the rich man replied, "along the highways and among the fields, and urge those you meet to come in, that my table might be filled. For I say to you: none of those that were originally invited will taste of the banquet that I had prepared for them."

Whoever hears my word and believes in the One who has sent me will find eternal life and not be condemned. Instead, they will pass from death unto life. Do not be amazed at this , for the time is coming when even the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear his voice shall live. In their graves, the dead will recognize his voice and be raised up; those that have done good will be raised to new life, and those who have lived wrongfully will be raised to condemnation.

Herein lies the way to eternal life: know the only true God and Jesus Christ, the one sent to you by God. Take my words to heart. For God so loved the world that he offered his only Son a living sacrifice, that whoever believes in him will not perish, but be redeemed and have everlasting life. This good news of the kingdom shall be preached to the entire world as a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and grateful I come to You calling upon Your power and praying for all those in need of Your grace and mercy. Enlighten those that seek or walk in darkness to hide their weakness and nature and awaken them to the Spirit open their hearts to Jesus. Show them the freedom in Jesus and that in a world where we may feel helpless and hopeless we are not alone; we are free to chose and we must chose Jesus! For He holds the truths that breed faith and faith creates hope and hope shows itself in love and love overcomes through understanding and unconditional acceptance. We must love the Spirit; we must love of Jesus Christ; and love of You! And in and through that love commit to know and understand with the innocence of a child; for it is only when try to understand and know  with  all that we have become under the sun that we will fall short and can only hope that we land at the foot of the Cross. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Hebrews 2:14-18

14  Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,  15  and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.  16  For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham.  17  Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people.  18  For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. 
Psalm 105:1-4, 6-9

4  Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his presence continually! 
Mark 1:29-39

29  And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.  30  Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.  31  And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.  32  That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.  33  And the whole city was gathered together about the door.  34  And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.  35  And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.  36  And Simon and those who were with him pursued him,  37  and they found him and said to him, "Every one is searching for you."  38  And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out."  39  And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

Following the Resurrection

Oh fools, so slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Should not Christ have suffered all of these things and then enter into his glory? Be faithless no longer, but believe.

This is what I have told you from the beginning, that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and by the prophets, and by the Psalm-writers, concerning me! Christ must suffer, and then rise from the dead on the third day; that repentance and forgiveness of sins might be preached in his name among all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

I know from where I have come, and where I will go. You cannot tell from where I have come, or where I am going. You are from the earth. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

No one has ascended up to heaven, except he that has come down from heaven, the Son of God who is in heaven. Go, tell my brothers that I will ascend to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Why are you troubled, allowing doubt to fill your minds? Be in peace. Witness my hands and my feet. Touch me, and verify my resurrected body; for a ghost does not appear having flesh and bones. Because you have seen me, you believe. More blessed are those who come after you, who having not seen me, believe.

In a little while, the world will see me no more; but my presence will remain with you; and because I live, you will live also.

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humbly I ask and pray for guidance, perseverance and Your hand in helping me walk in the Spirit, producing the fruit of the Spirit with all those You place in my path. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Sometimes hatred is charming, while love must show itself severe.

Hebrews 2:5-12

5  For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking.  6  It has been testified somewhere, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?  7  Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor,  8  putting everything in subjection under his feet."Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him.  9  But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.  10  For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.  11  For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren,  12  saying, "I will proclaim thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee." 
Psalm 8:2, 5-9
Mark 1:21-28

21  And they went into Caper’na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.  22  And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.  23  And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;  24  and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."  25  But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"  26  And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.  27  And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."  28  And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
