Rev. John Campoli, i.v.dei
His Love Ministries
Remember that our heavenly Father has our best interests at the forefront of His plan for our lives. Jesus always walks with us, especially in our sufferings. Cling to Him with everything you’ve got and give Him all your pain, suffering, and disillusions. He can turn them into joy, and glory and, finally, will turn our death into life.

Daily Meditation
If Jesus is the Good Shepherd, then we are sheep.
We are sheep because we can’t be anything but sheep. We are not the rulers of our lives, our herds, or our destiny. Being a sheep is remarkably similar to being a human. We are creatures who need community and who can’t help but follow since we often have no idea where we are going in the first place.
We are sheep because we desperately need a Shepherd—a shepherd whose voice we must follow to arrive safely home.
There are many voices in our world today that try to compete with the voice of the shepherd. For instance, cable news networks, reality shows, and commercial advertising make all this television possible in the first place!
Then there are the politicians of all stripes crying, “Don’t listen to him, listen to me!”
Family members are unhappy with the family, and neighbors are annoyed with the neighborhood. Immigrants who seek just some shred of dignity. Talk-show hosts who know it all. And every layperson, deacon, priest, and bishop trying to convince us that they know what is best for the church!
We must listen to the shepherd's voice alone. He speaks only one word: LOVE.
Sometimes, we don’t know where the shepherd is leading us. We feel our way is the better way. But, like the sheep that left the flock and was lost, we have a shepherd who will seek and find us. One who will lay his life down for you. For me? A mere sheep? Yes, for you. This good shepherd will take you on a long and winding journey. Sometimes, we think that those pastures back there seemed good enough for us – why, oh why, are we traveling again? It is scary out here.
But then you will arrive. And there will be such glorious provisions, unexpected gifts of joy, and the reality of knowing we didn’t have to find it alone.
