On this Good Shepherd Sunday, Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma presides over the 4th Day of Novena Mass at San Isidro Labrador Parish, Garing, Consolacion, in preparation for their 11th annual fiesta.
In his homily, the good Archbishop emphasized that sheep are often seen as weak and defenseless, so when an enemy or predator comes, they rely on their shepherd. The same goes for us. When we think that we cannot handle the enemies or trials in life, let us put our trust in our Good Shepherd.
“Kon sa atong kaugalingon dili nato kaya ang mga kaaway, ang Good Shepherd maoy atong karamay. Unsa pa man ang mas nindot nga timaan sa pagka Good Shepherd kaysa gihalad niya ang kinabuhi alang nato? Wala na gyuy mas labaw pa niana,” said Archbishop Palma.
The parish’s fiesta will be on May 17, 2025. Cebu Auxiliary Bishop-Emeritus Emilio “Boy” Bataclan will preside over the 10:00 AM Fiesta Mass.
