Read Jeremiah 50:17-20
Show me, O Lord, your mercy, and delight my heart with it. Let me find you, whom I so longingly seek. See, here is the man whom the robbers seized, mishandled, and left half dead on the road to Jericho. O kindhearted Samaritan, come to my aid! I am the sheep who wandered into the wilderness--seek after me, and bring me home again to your fold. Do with me what you will, that I may stay with you all the days of my life and praise you with all those who are with you in heaven for all eternity.
--Saint Jerome (347-420)
