Jesus: The Good Shepherd

Jesus: The Good Shepherd

This Sunday Mass Homily at Saint Michael in Kalibo, Bishop Romie-Jun Peñalosa reminded us that Jesus: The Good Shepherd stands at the heart of the Gospel. He emphasized that Jesus reveals His character as the Good Shepherd who leads, guides, and protects His flock. More than that, He lovingly provides for His sheep. Because He knows what is best for us, we can trust that His plans are greater than our own. Indeed, in Him, we lack no good thing. As His sheep, we are called to listen attentively to the voice of Jesus: The Good Shepherd. During this Easter season, we live out the joy of the Resurrection by following where He leads. At times, His voice challenges us, especially when it calls us to change or correction. Nevertheless, we must choose to obey, trusting that His guidance shapes us according to God’s will. By listening and responding faithfully, we begin to experience the fullness of life that Christ promises. Furthermore, we are not meant to keep this relationship to ourselves. As sheep of Jesus: The Good Shepherd, we are also sent to share His Word with others. In doing so, we invite them to encounter His goodness and care. Through our witness, others may come to know the Shepherd who never abandons His flock. Ultimately, Jesus: The Good Shepherd not only leads us to what we need but also walks with us every step of the journey. With Him before us, beside us, and even behind us, we can move forward with confidence, knowing we are always under His loving care.
