Pietà Lenten Series–Sr Mary Helen Hill–Our Good Shepherd (Sr Mary Helen Hill says that the readings for this coming Thursday in the 1st week of Lent ask us to reflect on who is this Good Shepherd that we have. What is he like? The psalms praise him as the One who leads us beside restful waters to revive our drooping spirits, guiding our steps along the right paths. These images of the Good Shepherd bring us comfort. The Gospel on Thursday is a powerful reminder of the eternal authority of the Shepherd to dispel the darkness and rescue us from all danger and every “prison” of our own, or others’ making. Yes, we have a Good Shepherd who goes in search of us, right into the very heart of darkness. Let us renew our hope in the saving authority of Christ ever present among us and ask for the grace to follow his ways.)
