“I
am the Good Shepherd….. I lay down my life for my sheep…” Jesus took for Himself
the model of a shepherd who cares and protects His sheep even to the point of
risking His life for them. The first to be given the great privilege of knowing
of the Lord’s birth were the shepherds. Jesus, our Lord, at His birth itself
begins to highlight to us that we are called to proclaim the Good News to those
whom society regards as last and the least. These humble men attentively
listened and obeyed to the angels and thus were able to witness the birth of
Jesus. Let us also try to imitate these men of simple faith and ask Jesus to
increase our faith as we prepare our hearts for His coming.
