Product Description
The Good Shepherd Plaque depicts one of the most reassuring and comforting images of Jesus in the New Testament. The Good Shepherd knows his flock, and his flock knows him. As the sheep of his flock hear and recognize his voice, they follow him, confident that he will defend them to the death and will seek out any sheep separated from the flock. This plaque is an ideal gift for your pastor (Latin for “shepherd”), member of the pastoral team, your bishop, and for anyone who is or has been a “Good Shepherd” in your community. The Good Shepherd Plaque reminds us of Pope Francis’ invitation to bishops to be close to their flock by “smelling like the flock.”

This solid bronze plaque was conceived and forged in an art studio and bronze foundry in Germany. The Good Shepherd Plaque is an especially fitting gift for that special “Good Shepherd” in your life!

Good Shepherd, Teach us to follow you
to care for all that are close to us,
to protect those who are threatened,
to welcome those who are rejected,
to heal those who are broken and sick,
to share with those who have little or nothing,
to take the time to really know one another
and to love as you have loved us.
Good Shepherd, Teach us to follow you
to spread compassion to those who are far away,
to speak for those who are voiceless,
to defend those who are oppressed and abused,
to work for justice for those who are exploited,
to make peace for those who suffer violence,
to take the time to recognize our connectedness,
and to love as you have loved us.

It’s very beautiful and much larger than I thought it would be. It’s a very substantial piece of artwork.
