Adapted from Luke 15: 1-7

There once was a shepherd who had 100 sheep. He loved them all and knew them all by name. Every day he would lead them to fresh grass to feed on and to fresh water to drink.

The shepherd looked after the sheep well and made sure they would not be in danger from wild animals. The sheep knew their shepherd’s voice well and trusted him completely. They were happy in his care. The sheep also knew each other as they had grown up together.

One day while the sheep were being lead back home, one sheep got distracted and did not follow his shepherd.

At first he wasn’t too worried. He was too busy looking around this new place. However it wasn’t long before he realised how alone he was and he got scared. “Why did I not follow my shepherd?” he thought.

Meanwhile on the other side of the hill the shepherd realised one sheep was missing. He was worried. The other sheep were worried too.

The shepherd made sure the 99 sheep were safe and he went to find the missing one. “I must find him” he said. “I will not stop looking until I find the lost sheep”.

The lost sheep realised how foolish he had been not to follow his shepherd. “I hope my shepherd comes to look for me. I will never leave the flock again” he thought.

At last the shepherd found the lost sheep and rescued him.

The shepherd was delighted to see the lost sheep again. He carried it back to the flock high on his shoulders. The lost sheep was delighted to be reunited with his shepherd. He felt safe again.

When the shepherd arrived back to the flock he called out to his neighbours “Rejoice with me for the sheep that was lost has been found.”

Jesus tells us in the Bible that He is the Good Shepherd (John. 10: 11) Jesus leads us just as the shepherd leads his sheep. Following Jesus means that one day we will get to heaven. This is where He wants to lead us.

We are like the sheep in the parable. The lost sheep got distracted and lost his way. He was not following the shepherd anymore. We do not follow Jesus when we make wrong choices. We do not follow Jesus when we sin.

The good news is that Jesus does not give up on us. He is always there calling us and looking for us to return to follow Him again. We tell God we are sorry for having strayed when we go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Through the priest God forgives us our sins. As the shepherd rejoiced when the lost sheep was found, Jesus tells us there is great rejoicing when even one sinner turns away from sin and returns to follow Jesus again.

Jesus forgives me always!
