In today's Gospel, we encounter the compassionate gaze of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who looks upon us as his sheep. He also calls the first Twelve Apostles by name. This personal calling reminds us that discipleship is never anonymous.
The calling of the Twelve remains deeply relevant today. The Church continues to be built not by perfect individuals, but by ordinary people transformed by God's grace. All of us are called to discipleship, and all of us are sent — to our homes, workplaces, schools, and society — to become witnesses of Christ's compassion. Like the Twelve, we are called by name and entrusted with a mission. 🙏💕
