Shepherds in the bible are symbols. Jesus is the Good Shepherd in our famous Responsorial Psalm, putting himself out for us who are his sheep.

A Spirituality of Non-Hurrying
There are kinds of hurry that come from simple circumstance and duty. Almost everyone of us, at least during our working years, have too many things to do: Daily, we struggle to juggle the demands of relationships, family, work, and school.

Do you lust for someone who is not your spouse? Do you think you are caring for one of God’s children when you do? Do you smoke and overeat? What impact do your bad habits have on God’s children?
Gerald Darring
Some resent being compared to sheep, those docile animals instinctively following the directions of the shepherd. The focus of the biblical image, however, is not on the docility of the sheep.
