Beautiful reflections on the parable. The connection between the Shepherd's particular love for each sheep and the Advent season is really thought-provoking. Its easy to get caught up in the externals of preparation (wreaths, calendars, meals) and miss that God is actively prepairng us, not just waiting for us to prepare for Him. The CCC quote frames it perfectly as reciprocal movement.
