“So Jesus said again, “Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
I am the gate.

Whoever enters through me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture. A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.”” (John 10:7-10)

Christ the Shepherd creates a new community over and against the bankrupt Temple leadership which sees, hears and interacts with Jesus and then rejects Jesus.  The immediate previous narrative (9:1-38) provides background for this situation of “the Jews.”  They do not belong to the flock of the shepherd because they do not recognize his voice and they do not follow him.  They are now blind (9:41) thieves, robbers (10:1) and strangers (v. 5).  This is a reversal of the experience of the man born blind (9:34).

Together in Mission 2026

As one Catholic community of faith, rooted in prayer, let us reflect on how we can support our
underserved parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Did you know that one in every
five parishes and one in every four Catholic schools rely on financial assistance to continue their vital
ministries? Your generosity directly impacts these communities, providing the resources they need to
thrive.

This year’s cumulative Together in Mission goal is $16.9 million, representing the collective efforts of
our Catholic family across all five regions. Your parish’s goal and progress throughout the year can be
tracked on the Together in Mission Leaderboard at togetherinmission.org. Let us come together to make a difference and bring the love of Christ to those in need. Please consider making a special Jubilee Year gift to Together in Mission today!
