PODCAST | Letting Go and Letting God: Following the Good Shepherd
In this meditation, Msgr. Martin Schlag guides us to contemplate Jesus as the Good Shepherd who knows, loves, and leads each of us personally. Drawing from Scripture, as well as the writings of St. Josemaria Escriva, Msgr. Schlag explores the meaning of faithfulness in ordinary life, learning to recognize the voice of Christ the Good Shepherd, and surrendering our own plans in trust.

- How to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd in daily life
- Why “letting go and letting God” is an act of deep faith
- St. Josemaria’s devotion to Christ as the Good Shepherd
- The healing Christ brings when we allow him to lead us
- What it means to be both sheep and shepherd in our vocations
