A shepherd who is not meek is not a good shepherd. He has something hidden, because meekness shows him as he is ... furthermore, the shepherd is tender ... knows the sheep one by one by name and takes care of each one as if it were the only one.
---Pope Francis, March 5, 2020 homily

Feeling a little sheepish?
There is nothing cuter than a fuzzy baby lamb. But what about when they get older and are bona-fide sheep? Not so much. Sheep aren’t the smartest or cuddliest of creatures. When left to their own devices they’ll wander, get lost or maimed, destroy their own pasture, and panic over just about anything. Unfortunately for us, it is sheep, not lambs, to which Jesus compares his followers. Smelly, erratic, hapless sheep. While we may have our cute, fuzzy moments, we also have many not-so-cuddly occasions where we are difficult to love, difficult to be around, and just plain difficult. In Jesus’ words we find not condemnation but assurance that even in these times, he is there for us, calling our name. Remember to listen for Jesus’ voice in even your worst sheeplike moments.
