The LORD Will Guard Us, As A Shepherd Guards His Flock

"Hear the word of YAHWEH, O nations,

proclaim it on distant coast lands:

HE who scattered Israel will gather them

and guard them as a shepherd guards his flock.

For YAHWEH has ransomed Jacob'

and redeemed him from the hand of his conqueror.

They shall come shouting for joy, while ascending Zion;

they will come streaming to YAHWEH's blessings -

the grain, the new wine and the oil,

the young of the flocks and herds.

They will be like a well-watered garden;

no more will they be afflicted.

Maidens will make merry and dance,

young men and old as well."

- Jeremiah 31:10-13

(The worldwide effect of CHRIST's resurrection is to unite all of humanity in renewed creation - as JESUS HIMSELF put it, "when I'M lifted up from earth I shall draw all to MYSELF" [John 12:32]. That is to say, the cross and resurrection are the source of communion and fraternity.

The Church reunites believers of all races and cultures: we call it "Catholic," that is, universal.  The Church, however, is but a beginning and a sign of that which will be attained at the end of time, when the whole of humanity will be reunited in CHRIST [Revelation 7].)
