Pastor Bonus - Icon Holy Card

To the traditional iconographic image of Christ the Benefactor Br. Claude Lane, O.S.B. has added Biblical imagery of the Good Shepherd, drawn from St. John’s Gospel, chapter 10, and the 23rd Psalm. Jesus' hands show the wounds of the cross because the good shepherd lays down His life for His sheep (John 10:11). He holds a staff, or crosier, to indicate that He is the guardian of His flock. Many of us go through life feeling lost or without purpose, but this image helps us contemplate the Divine Compassion of God, “the guardian of our souls" (1 Peter 2:25).
