Isaiah 54:7
Douay-Rheims
For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.
Gregory of Nazianzus
I seem, indeed, to hear that voice from him who gathers together those who are broken and welcomes the oppressed.… The measure of his kindness exceeds the measure of his discipline. The former things were owing to our wickedness, the present things to the adorable Trinity, the former for our cleansing, the present for my Glory.
