The good shepherd also remains faithful in the face of the sinfulness of his own people: the good shepherd continues to be a father, even when his children move away and abandon him. He perseveres in his service as a shepherd even in the face of those who lead him to dirty his hands; he does not close his heart to those who may have caused him pain. Catechesis on intercessory prayer, in collaboration with Fr Mamiarisoa Modeste Randrianifahanana.
