It's amazing how much we humans are just like sheep.  In today's gospel we hear Jesus is moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd.  Psalm 23 is one of the most popular psalms.  David declared in this psalm that "The Lord is my Shepherd."  There are many voices vying for our minds and hearts.  What voice do we listen to.  Is it the Lords?  Can we honestly say, "The Lord is my Shepherd.  We need the Good Shepherd. There is complete contentment for the soul that grazes upon the green grass that the Good Shepherd leads us to.
