Let your steadfast love become my comfort

The second [ son] [ Joseph] named Ephraim, "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortunes."
1 Corinthians 4:11-12a
To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed and beaten and homeless, and we grow weary from the work of our hands.

III. Meditation: In the land of their misfortunes
You called your apostles to be with you,
to be sent out to proclaim your message.
They were hungry and thirsty, poorly clothed,
beaten and homeless; they grew weary
from the work of their hands.
But, according to your promise,
your steadfast love became their comfort.
In the land of their misfortunes,
you made them fruitful.
