Edward Caswell's beautiful poetry sets the tone for this new Lenten offering by the noted Irish composer David Catherwood. The correlation is made between the Good Shepherd on his way home with the sheep and Christ's final sacrifice on the cross. Did wolves attack the Shepherd, leaving him tattered and blood-stained, or was it our sins that wounded him so deeply? A moving work for Lent or Holy Week.
