World Day of Prayer for Vocations: Sheep Aren’t So Dumb After All

Derrick Turrentine

Hello, I’m Derrick Turrentine and I’m a pre-novice with the Carmelites. Next month I’ll be a novice and you can start using “Brother” before my name. On this Good Shepherd Sunday I’ve been thinking about Jesus calling us sheep. He often uses the image of the Shepherd for himself and us as the sheep. At first I thought it was to contrast the intelligence of the shepherd to the dumbess of the sheep. But are sheep actually so dumb? I’ve come to a different conclusion lately and here’s a link to my short reflection why I think sheep are smarter than they’re given credit for. Enjoy the video and let us all pray for vocations.
