婦女豈能忘掉自己的乳嬰?初為人母的,豈能忘掉親生的兒子?縱然她們能忘掉,我也不會忘掉你啊?(依49:15)
省思
天主為了確認對我們永恆不變的愛,祂用了母親與胎兒這個非常獨特的例子;祂提到母親與胎兒這個連結,並表明若破壞這個連結,是祂不能想像的。
祈禱
天主,祢透過建立母親與胎兒這一關係,向我們展示了這最深的連結;求祢堅強每一個母親,使她們能有能力保護她們的孩子。
CAN a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
— Isa 49:15
REFLECTION
In assuring His people of His unfailing love for them, God seeks an extreme example to make His point: He speaks of the bond between a mother and the child of her womb. He declares that the breaking of that bond is practically unthinkable to Him.
PRAYER
Lord, You have established the bond between mother and child and used it as an example of the most faithful commitment. Strengthen all mothers and protect all their children.
