Theotokos Prayer Group 2021 - Update No. 16 - Good Shepherd Sunday

 

Gospel, John 10:11-18
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.
12 The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and runs away, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the sheep;
13 he runs away because he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me,
15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16 And there are other sheep I have that are not of this fold, and I must lead these too. They too will listen to my voice, and there will be only one flock, one shepherd.
17 The Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again.
18 No one takes it from me; I lay it down of my own free will, and as I have power to lay it down, so I have power to take it up again; and this is the command I have received from my Father.

Jesus Good Shepherd thank you that you lay down your life for us your sheep.

May we continue to get to know you and listen to your voice.

Lord you call all peoples and nations to hear your voice and listen to you. 

We pray that there will be one shepherd and one flock.
