Fr. Corwin Low, O.P. preaches at St. Dominic’s about the vocation of priesthood and the mystical side of the ordination, all part of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. This week’s gospel about the Good Shepherd was a familiar metaphor used in the early Church, the persecuted Church, and additionally for those men that Jesus has called to the priesthood. I am the Good Shepherd and I know mine and mine know me. The calling must come from Jesus himself in order to be sufficient.
