The image of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, beautifully depicts Jesus’ love and protection for each of His lambs—each of us—even to the point of laying down His life for us. He teaches us how to live as good shepherds in our own homes, with our own children. In this most intimate name of Jesus, we learn how to shepherd, guide, guard, and care for those entrusted to us. It is only by following the example of the Good Shepherd that any one of us can serve as the good mom, the good dad, the good Mimi, the good Papa, the good aunt, or the good uncle. Jesus, the Good Shepherd provides the model for good, Godly parenting!
