My chosen one with whom I am pleased

„Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my Spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations, not crying out, not shouting, not making his voice heard in the street. A bruised reed he shall not break, and a smoldering wick he shall not quench, until he establishes justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait for his teaching.” (IS 42: 1-4)

„Justice to the nations” and „justice on the earth” will come not by force, „not crying out, not shouting, not making his voice heard in the street,” but with gentleness. With Our Lord everyone is safe and protected: „a bruised reed he shall not break, and a smoldering wick he shall not quench.” He alone is „compassionate with our faults.”

„Hail to you, our King; you alone are compassionate with our faults.” (Gospel Acclamation)
