Mass thought

Monsignor Swetland said the 9pm mass today and I love that guy. He really offers forth some challenging thoughts.

This week is Good Shepherd Sunday. All of the readings were representative of God as our shepherd. And then Swetland took it one step further and spoke of God calling us all out to be shepherds in whatever role we may have as either family leaders, church leaders, work leaders, etc. So if we are to be good shepherds, what do we have to do? Well he spoke of a brilliant analogy that Christ is our Good Shepherd, and yet he became the Pascal Lamb. He became one of the sheep and was killed for the rest of the sheep. Brilliant! So we are to lay ourselves down and be servants for our flock, whatever that may look like. Our friends, our family, our co-workers, etc. We must become servants. I know I've heard this a thousand times, but it was good to hear again.
