Lord Jesus Christ, you
are the Good Shepherd.
When we cry to you, you
hear our voice.
You do not hide your
face from us;
you do not despise, do not
abhor
the affliction of the
afflicted--
Lord, you know the pain.
Help us abide in you
as you abide in us.
What can separate us
from love such as yours?
