WEEKLY REFLECTION
Compassionate Leadership: Shepherding With Christ’s Heart
07-21-2024 | Fr. Augustine Acheme, VCThis Sunday’s readings highlight the theme of compassionate leadership and the call to shepherd with Christ’s heart. Through the words of Jeremiah, Paul, and the Gospel of Mark, we are invited to reflect on the qualities of a true shepherd and the divine compassion that should guide our actions. In the first reading, the prophet Jeremiah delivers a stern message to the negligent leaders of Israel: “Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture” (Jer 23:1).
