Deacon Tracy shares how much we are in need of a shepherd like Jesus who is and will always be the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the Good Shepherd who reaches out to us, His sheep. He seeks out the strays and leads the lost to Eternal Life. While His voice does not give up on us, it is we who often choose not to hear His voice. Following Jesus also means discerning one's vocation in life.
