Reflection
Ezekiel prophesies the unification of the people under one shepherd, reflecting God’s desire to gather His children. After the raising of Lazarus, many believe in Jesus, yet others reject Him and plot to kill Him. The way is prepared for the Passion. Which areas of your life need reconciliation and unity? Allow Christ, the faithful Shepherd, to unite your heart and lead you into full communion with God and others.
