The Good Shepherd

FOR ALL GROUPS
For Upper ROOM

Goals

This Sunday is called Good Shepherd Sunday because in the Gospel reading Jesus tells His friends that He is the Good Shepherd who loves His sheep.

When sheep are out grazing in open fields, the shepherd watches them and protects them from hurting themselves, getting lost, or being killed by wild animals. Jesus looks after us like a shepherd looks after his sheep. He gave us the Church so we could know what is good for us, and He protects us from the devil by giving us graces in the sacraments (baptism, confession, holy communion, etc).

Now, Jesus did something that an ordinary shepherd would not do. Besides guiding & protecting us, He died to save us! Because He died for our sins, all of His sheep can now go to Heaven where they will be happy forever! How blessed we are to have such a loving Shepherd!
