About this study
Fr. Jim muses that in the animal world, the sheep are not the most wise of creatures and so for us to be compared to the sheep is not a great compliment. The sheep are often weak and foolish, a comparison that we must admit often fits us as well. Listen for Fr. Jim's redeeming lesson on our role as God's flock with Jesus as our shepherd.
