Jesus called his people "sheep" and himself the "shepherd" for more reasons than you might think. It wasn't just because agriculture was the dominant occupation of the day. Deacon Robin at one time raised sheep and he shares in today's reflection that sheep have a very specific kind of response to their shepherd that they don't have for anyone else—which makes it the perfect analogy for our relationship to Jesus.

A very wise nun once said, "Pray to the Holy Spirit—nobody remembers to pray to the Holy Spirit." As the third member of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit has unlimited power and is called a "Paraclete" or advocate in the Scriptures. In today's reflection, Deacon Robin Waters shares a reflection on what the world was like before the Holy Spirit was sent to us, before Jesus ascended to his throne—and it's UNRECOGNIZABLE.
