Summary
Monday Mass. 4.27.26. In this homily, I reflect on what it truly means that Jesus is the Good Shepherd — not that He removes every trial, but that He's already present in the middle of them. Drawing from a personal story early in my priesthood and the example of Abraham's radical trust, I explore why God doesn't always reveal the full plan, and why that's actually the point. If you've been waiting for God to show up in your struggles, this homily is for you.
