GOSPEL: John 10:27-30

Good News Translation

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never die. No one can snatch them away from me.

29 What my Father has given me is greater than everything, and no one can snatch them away from the Father's care.

30 The Father and I are one.”

PRACTICE LECTIO DIVINA:

1. READ: John 10:27-30 several times

   
   

2. REFLECT: What words or thoughts do I notice?

   My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me.

   
   

3. RELATE : What does this have to do with my life situation?

   Thank you Lord for knowing me and guiding me with your word.

   
   

4. REST: Sit quietly with what God is teaching you.

   How can I be more attentive and obedient to God's voice inside of me ( my conscience)?
