I will search for my lost ones who strayed away, and I will bring them safely home again. I will bandage the injured and strengthen the weak. But I will destroy those who are fat and powerful. I will feed them, yes - feed them justice!
Ezekiel 34:16
The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this: "I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.
Isaiah 57:15
Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
Mark 6:34
Jesus Christ, you have a knack for turning things upside down. You elevate the humble and lowly. You are the shepherd who dies for sheep who love to wander. You pay the debts your servants owe. You show us paradoxes of the Christian faith. Help us to know your ways, we pray. Amen.
