Message for this week

As we gather for worship this Sunday, the Scripture readings present us with one of the most widely known and dearly loved portrayals of the Christian’s relationship to the Lord.  Psalm 23, the confident and certain confession of trust in the Lord, is the appointed Psalm.  In the Epistle, St. Peter echoes the prophet Isaiah in reminding his readers of their privileged position:  “You were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls” (1 Peter 2:25).  In the Holy Gospel Jesus presents Himself as the Shepherd of His sheep, the only gate through which one can go into eternal life, and the entrance to rich pasture and security from all danger.  Best of all, He invites and encourages us to listen to Him and follow Him, that we may have life, and have it to the full.
