This week the Children's Liturgy will be online and we will be back to Zoom next week.
Gospel - John 10:11-18
Jesus said:
“I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep. When the hired man, who is not a shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away; so the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. The hired man runs away because he is only a hired man and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd. As the Father knows me and I know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me. And I am willing to die for them. There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheep pen. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my voice, and they will become[a] one flock with one shepherd.
“The Father loves me because I am willing to give up my life, in order that I may receive it back again. No one takes my life away from me. I give it up of my own free will. I have the right to give it up, and I have the right to take it back. This is what my Father has commanded me to do.”

Jesus calls himself the shepherd, who carefully looks after his sheep. Why do you think Jesus calls himself a shepherd?

What does a shepherd do?
Does anyone have a pet? What do you do to take care of your pet?

Are there people who are like good shepherds who keep you safe? Who are they?
