Saturday Week 5 of Lent April 12, 2025
Jeremiah: In today’s canticle from Jeremiah, we hear that the Lord “guards them as a shepherd his flock.” Ever look at a flock or a herd? Notice that they are not uniform. There are young and old, fat and lean, different colors of wool and hides, yet they are each loved and cared for, given green pasture and water. Nice metaphor for how we and governments should behave. Diversity is good and should be welcomed and celebrated.
