By the Lord has this been done

“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?” (MT 21: 42)

When we become rejected—“the stone that the builders rejected”—especially, because we carry out His will, Our Lord takes care of us—“by the Lord has this been done,” and can make from rejected stone “the cornerstone.” His love always protects and helps.

“God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son; so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
