DAILY CONTEMPLATION

June 11, 2026 ~ Paone 4, 1742

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door,
but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.” (Jn 10:1-2)
Who is he that enters in by the Door? He that enters in by Christ.
Who is he? He who imitates the Passion of Christ, who acknowledges the Humility of Christ;
that whereas God was made Man for us, man may acknowledge himself to be, not God, but man.
For whoso wishes to appear God, when he is man, does not imitate Him, who, being God, was made Man.
But to you it is not said, “Be anything less than you are,” but acknowledge what you are.
Acknowledge yourself feeble, acknowledge yourself man, acknowledge yourself a sinner;
acknowledge that it is He that justifies…
St. Augustine
