Reflection

According to Pope Francis, what do the followers of the Good Shepherd do?
Lastly, the … sheep who hear, and who discover they are known, follow: they listen, they feel they are known to the Lord, and they follow the Lord who is their shepherd. What do those who follow Christ do? They go where he goes, along the same path, in the same direction. They go to seek those who are lost (cf. Lk 15:4), they take an interest in those who are far away, take to heart the situation of those who suffer, know how to weep with those who weep, they reach out their hands to their neighbours, carrying them on their shoulders. And me? Do I let Jesus love me, and from allowing him to love me, do I begin to love him, to imitate him? … Hearing him, knowing him, following him.
