St. Stephen Harding
So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came [before me] are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10: 7-10).
Christ wants to be our leader. Who do you follow in your life? Who do you dream about being like? An athlete, a musician, an entrepreneur? Christ is the perfect model and He is our leader. The more we are like Him, the better off we will be in this life and in the more important life to come.
Jesus, many times technology tries to bring me further from you. The internet, TV, videos, email, music, facebook … there is a lot of impurity out there. Protect me and give me the strength to be a true leader.
