Mighty Champion

“But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion…” (Jer 20:11).

When it is about Him, He is like “a lamb led to slaughter or a sheep silent before shearers” (Is 53:7). But when it is about you, He is like a mighty champion. You are His beloved daughter, you are His beloved son, we are His children, and whoever is against us, trying to harm us or do anything evil to us – He is there to protect us like a mighty champion.

“Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in distress. Deliver me from the hands of my enemies and those who pursue me. O Lord, let me never be put to shame, for I call on you.” (Ps 31:10.16.18) – Entrance Antiphon
