20170508 Gospel Jn 10:11-18

Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father."

Pamalandong:

An pastol o taga-bantay nan mga karnero, isa ka mabug-at na simbolo kon uno ka mapag-kalinga ni Jesus sa Ija mga tagpanag-ija.

Nakabase ini sa tinood na paghigugma ni Christ sa Ija mga binantajan na mga kawan ugsa na bisan an Ija kinabuhi Ija tag-pusta, malibre lamang an Ija mga hinigugma.

Ugsa na para dato ‘sab na mga minahal Nija, kinahanglan ato ini suklian nan halayum na pagmahal sa kada adlaw-adlaw na mga kinabuhi kay amo ra ma’y ini mahibajad nato Dija.

Ipangaliya permi nato kan Lord na Sija na ato Good Shepherd, permi Nija kita bantajan sa tibook nato kinabuhi para dili kita mawalay Dija.
