Saint Boniface, Bishop, Martyr
Wednesday of week 9 in Ordinary Time
Gospel – John 10:11-16
We are celebrating the feast of St. Boniface who was a great missionary and pastor in present Germany. The reading of this memorial reminds about the Good Shepherd who is Jesus Christ. He is the Good Shepherd because He knows his sheep. We are His sheep we know Him as Good Shepherd. It’s very important to recognize the Good Shepherd. Because He lays down his life for us. He sacrificed His life to save us. The love of this Shepherd cannot be compared with others. Because others in whom we trust will run away when there is danger. They cannot be reached when there will be difficulties. But Jesus, our Good Shepherd will not run away because He has nothing more important than us. Others run away or don’t show up when we are in trouble because they pretend to be shepherds for their own selfish interests. The Good Shepherd is selfless. He lays down His life for us. Let’s reflect: How much I recognize the presence of the Good Shepherd in my life?
