Dec 29, 2022. Gospel John 10:11-16. St Thomas Becket.

[11]I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. Ego sum pastor bonus. Bonus pastor animam suam dat pro ovibus suis. [12] But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep: Mercenarius autem, et qui non est pastor, cujus non sunt oves propriae, videt lupum venientem, et dimittit oves, et fugit : et lupus rapit, et dispergit oves; [13] And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. mercenarius autem fugit, quia mercenarius est, et non pertinet ad eum de ovibus. [14] I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me. Ego sum pastor bonus : et cognosco meas, et cognoscunt me meae. [15] As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. Sicut novit me Pater, et ego agnosco Patrem : et animam meam pono pro ovibus meis. [16] And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd. Et alias oves habeo, quae non sunt ex hoc ovili : et illas oportet me adducere, et vocem meam audient, et fiet unum ovile et unus pastor. Music: Regina Coeli.
