ESPONDING TO THE CALL R Do we truly know the voice of Christ? Do we truly respond to the voice of our shepherd with our own disncve voice? How oen we aempt to imitate those around us, appropriang the response of another member of the flock to Christ. Perhaps we need to balance the image of being sheep of one flock with the image from the second reading, which tells us that we are all children of God. What child has precisely the same interacon with parents as his or her siblings? Instead, they frequently do and say things to disnguish themselves in the eyes of their parents. Whether we use the image of children or of sheep to understand our relaonship with Christ, we believe that we are all known and called by name. With this great gi comes a responsibility: to respond to the call with our own disncve voice, to take me to discern exactly what our call is, to determine precisely what of the Father is for each of us.
