Too many of our brothers and sisters have found themselves among the wrong flock, being led astray by their shepherd. We need to be aware of who is shepherding our flock, we need to be aware of the sounds they make, we need to understand just what their mission is. For those shephers who are ordained by God, listen to Him, they know His voice and they know how to shepherd God’s flock. Let us pray to God for the discernment to know the voice of the Good Shpeherd and follow Him.

Lord, do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; nor let those who hate me without cause wink maliciously. Show me how to do good to them even though they have shown me nothing but evil.
