Lent: Day 27

Do not hide your face from me
when I am in distress.
Turn your ear to me;
when I call, answer me quickly. (Psalm 102:2)

"I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. 4 I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the LORD...This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteous Savior. (Jeremiah 23:3-4 & 6b)

And we know that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good—with those who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28, optional reading)

Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. (John 6:57)
