Lent, Day 35

A snail on a rock and a clasping bellflower speak Isaiah 42:3: "A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench."
“Lent, Day 35”
Isaiah 42:3 from the First Reading at Mass
Monday of Holy Week
©️2021 Gloria M. Chang

A bruised reed he will not break,
a smoldering wick he will not quench,
until he brings justice to victory.

Matthew 12:20

A bruised reed he will not break, 
and a dimly burning wick he will not quench.

Traditional Chinese Translation

《四旬期, 第35天》
壓傷的蘆葦,他不折斷;
將殘的燈火,他不吹滅。
