Thought for Monday May 8

Athirst is my soul for the living God.
Send forth your light and your fidelity;
they shall lead me on
And bring me to your holy mountain,
to your dwelling-place.
Athirst is my soul for the living God.

John 10: 11 – 18  Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd.  A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them.

Am I a good shepherd or do I run from wolves?  What sheep are in my care?

Action:  Learn to recognize wolves – the ones who seek power or money, those who bully others, those who preach falsehood, et al. – and learn to face them with courage.
