About this episode

Msgr. James Watkins discusses the metaphor of sheep and their shepherd, emphasizing the importance of recognizing Jesus' voice amidst worldly distractions.

Everyone makes dumb choices, often like the sheep we are likened to in the Bible. If we were perfect, intelligent and clean, what would be the need for a savior? Our shepherd, Jesus knows us, and we, his sheep know his voice and follow him. We can tell the voice of Jesus apart from the strange voices in this world that tell us to stray from his path.
