SIRACH 34:16-17 (2025)

SIRACH 34:16-17

16 The eyes of the Lord are on those who love him.
For them he is powerful protection, strong support;
shelter against scorching wind and the midday sun.
He is a safeguard against stumbling and assurance against a fall.
17 He lifts up the soul and gives a sparkle to the eyes;
he gives healing, life and blessing.

---- mine,

Take heart and do not give in to negative thoughts, despondency, anxiety, and fear lest they find a home in your soul. Know that I, the Lord your God, have called you by name I have called those you love by name, I have broken the shackles of original sin and made you and yours, members of the family of God. All have strayed, ---- my own, you too have strayed often during your pilgrim journey but I came in search of you, pursued you, wooed you, and sought you even when you stubbornly hid from Me and I will do the same for your loved ones. Not one of those whom My Father has given Me will be lost and that includes those washed in My Blood. No power can wrest from My hands those that I have counted as sheep among My flock. I will lead all my sheep to cool green pastures where they will rest and find shelter under My wings and in My Sacred Heart. As for you continue to pray earnestly and I will hear your prayers, I will answer you and I will seek, rescue, lead, and carry all those you love and pray for home to Myself.
