III. Meditation: Where did we come from? ;

Those who trust in you are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

For Christ has appeared once for all to
remove sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Just as the Father raises the dead
and gives life, so does the Son.

So where did we come from,
and where are we going? ;
