Fr. Dan O’Reilly: The Sheep on Grandpa’s Farm


What did the sheep do when Fr. Dan and his brothers tried to chase them into the field?

  • They jumped over the wall and ran away.

Who do the sheep listen to and follow? Why?

  • The sheep listen to the voice of their shepherd and follow him.
  • They follow him because he faithfully feeds, protects and leads them.

Is Jesus the most faithful shepherd to us? Should we be loyal to Him no matter what?

  • Yes and Yes.
  • Jesus is the most faithful person ever. He will always take care of us.
  • Especially when we are afraid and doubting, we need to be loyal, follow Him in all things, and trust anyways.
  • God blesses our unwavering loyalty.
