[Grem] Advent 2. keddje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel passage recounts the story of the shepherd finding
his lost sheep. Let’s look at that lost sheep. A sheep is something more
than a lost coin—which is to say, it has mobility, sense, appetites, and so
on. Many years ago, when I was on retreat at the Abbey of Tamie in the
Alps, I heard the desperate bleating of a sheep who had fallen into a pit.
All night he cried, knowing that he was in trouble and hoping that someone
would come to save him. There are souls who are like the lost sheep.
Spiritually compromised, fundamentally unable to help themselves, they are
at least aware that they are in a mess. They are like people who commence
the AA process by admitting that they have hit bottom and are out of
control. They bleat, they cry for help.And God finds them—and when he finds
them, he carries them back, for they are unable to move on their own.*
