We read the second Canticle of the Servant of God. The servant, the prophet Isaiah, is told that he is the covenant of the people who was appointed to bring the people back to God, that they might be saved. The prophet reminds us that God's love is much tenderer than a mother's love for her child. It is a love that is always tender and faithful. Love is His nature (1Jn 4:16).

Jesus realizes this hope in the Gospel. Jesus is the covenant people – the one sent to redeem the people. (Deuteronomy 7:9). He is indeed the visible image of the invisible God. (Col 1:15).

He is the only begotten Son of the Father and both act in the same way. The Father is merciful, Jesus too. The Father is loving, tender and compassionate, Jesus, his only Son is too.

May we learn to be the replica of the image of Christ!

Blessed Wednesday day!
