In his reflection before praying the Marian prayer of Regina Caeli on this fourth Sunday of Easter 2024, Pope Francis highlighted that for Jesus, the Good Shepherd who gives himself for his sheep and who always seeks them, each one is worth “the price.” infinite of his life.”
Before thousands of faithful gathered in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican, the Holy Father meditated on today’s Gospel (Jn 10:11-18) in which Jesus says and repeats that “the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.” ”.
“Jesus, in fact, explains that he is not a mercenary, who does not care about the sheep, but rather the one who knows them. That’s right: He, the Lord, Shepherd of us all, knows us, each one of us, he calls us by name and when we go astray, he searches for us until he finds us.”
