Quaid A 2 Zcczno Aria N., T Jxzif'-gi ,S fries- THE GOOD SHEPHERD In many places in the Gospel narrative our Lord uses the common pastoral conditions of Palestine as illustrations for His talks. Thus He made reference to Himself as the door of the enclosure through which the sheep must pass. Again, He compares Himself to the night- watchman whose voice was known to the sheep. On another occasion He proclaimed that'He had many sheep not of this particular fold. Sheep and shepherds were as familiar a sight in Palestine as wheat fields in our Canad- ian West or corn fields in the Middle West of the United States. Several shepherds left their sheep in a common enclosure during the night. The gatekeeper was the watchman. Each of the sheep had a name. So intimate was the daily association between the shepherd and sheep that the animals came to recognize the voice of their owner. Sheep are, as we know, timid and helpless creatures. While climbing the stony hills of Judea they would often fall. Dangerous wild animals were numerous. The good shepherd was compassionate and led his sheep along safe paths. He would risk his life to save even a young lamb. He led a lonely life, yet it was a life of devoted unselfishness. We often miss the full intent of Christ's words because we are unfamiliar with condit- ions in a pastoral country. But the comparisons hold true for our day also. A devoted parent, a kind priest, a solicitous teacher work unselfishly for their children, their people, their students. The hireling, that is, one not deeply devoted to Christ, will al- ways think of his own comfort before providing for the welfare of others. The wolf that draws us away from Christ may be a clever writer, a scoffer, a subtly poisoned book, or a bad companion. In warning us against such corrupting influences, the Church shows deep wisdom. The love of the shepherd was in direct contrast to that of the hireling. A little reflection on the personal qualities of the Good Shepherd shows us that He possessed all those characteristics associated with the solicitous guardian of a flock. He known the problems that confront his sheep. So Christ knows the problems of each person, He knows us as individual personalities. NI know mine,N He says,Wand mine know Me.n He leads us by unselfish example along the thorny and stony path of life. The sheep follow with docility, not straying into fields and bypaths which lie temptingly on either side. He guides usg He protects usg He seeks the one sheep which has strayed from the fold. The thought of the Good Shepherd is always solicitous for others. No utopian theorist or communist will ever make a heaven of earth. Labor and burdens and difficulties will always be a part of our lives. Religion will continually place upon us its natural obligations. But if we follow the lead of our Good Shepherd these will be a uyoke which is sweet and a burden light.N The world needs to know that we find joy in our religion and the strength to fulfill its demands by being the sheep of a Good Shepherd.

When he leaves St. Jerome's, he expects to be sent to St. Augustine's for his theology. Debating took up a great deal of his spare time while at our school, we are sure that he profited much from his experience. Richard Case Dick hails from Berwick, Pa., and stud- ied architecture at Penn University before he came to St. Jerome's. He is studying for the Diocese of Harrisburg. We will always remember him for his stirring portrayal of St. Thomas Aquinas. Walter Duraczynski A From Pennsylvania, Walter hopes to enter St. Paul's Seminary and later be ordained for the Diocese of Sioux Falls, South Dak- ota. Walter spent much time this year hel- ping to paint at the new school. Salvatore Emmi Sal is from Syracuse, N.Y., and a grad of LeMoyne College.

He will attend St. Augustine's in Toronto for Theology to prepare himself to work in the Hamilton Diocese.
