Jesus calls us all to seek out his lost sheep and proclaim the kingdom of God is at hand. The lost sheep in our lives can be family, friends, neighbors, and strangers who have lost their way in life and need someone to guide them back to the Way, the Truth, and the Life. To lead someone back to the faith is one of the most important acts of love and mercy we can perform in our lives. We might not always succeed and may even suffer because of our attempts, but no matter what happens as long as we do our best to bring people home to God, then that is all that matters.
Who are the lost sheep in our lives? What can we do to lead them back to God? How do our thoughts, words, and works proclaim the kingdom to all we meet?
O Lord, help us to lead your lost sheep home.
Amen.
