“But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers.”  ~ Jn 10:5 (full readings)
.
Rich’s Reflections:  In today’s Gospel, Jesus warns us about “thieves and robbers” who come “only to steal and slaughter and destroy.”  The Lord says that His sheep will follow Him, because “they recognize His voice”, but they will run away from strangers whose voice they do not know.  Planned Parenthood lures defenseless women to believe that they exist to help them, but in reality they only exist to profit from them.  People and organizations should be judged not by outward demeanor but by  works, for many in sheep’s clothing do the work of wolves.  Planned Parenthood steals defenseless women’s money, slaughters their unborn children, and destroys their families.  We need to help these women by amplifying the voice of our Shepherd so that they may “have life and have it more abundantly.” (Jn 10:10)
