Isaiah 40:1-11; Psalm 96:1-3, 10-13; Matthew 18:12-14

Amazing Grace

Our first parents lost us. We contrive to lose ourselves further by our personal sins. Thank God we have a Shepherd who does not spare himself in his search to find us. “For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.” As the year of St Joseph ends, we remember the Patron of the Universal Church who took the heavenly Father’s place in time as father to our Shepherd. All praise to Joseph’s Son, the Shepherd. We were lost and now we are found.
