Diana Newman, retired nurse and nursing professor was introduced to John Newman as a child and entered more deeply into his thought and works through our weekly Zoom format which she inspired by asking for interpersonal contact centered on the influence of our patron. Reflecting on the sermon, "The Shepherd of our Souls," Diana describes that by regularly turning to Christ we come to know His radical love. Habitual prayer, reception of the sacraments and Christ centered activities lead us to trust the Good Shepherd who is always seeking us. We hear His voice in our lives by realizing that nothing trumps the love of God. Newman's fortuitous spiritual direction provides us with a hope in finding Christ every day in every circumstance where Christ, the Good Shepherd, cares for and guides our lives.
