Fun fact found in my lector book:
The second reading for Mass today [Revelation 7:9, 14b-17]:
“For this reason they stand before God’s throne / and worship him day and night in his temple. / The one who sits on the throne will shelter them. / They will not hunger or thirst anymore, / nor will the sun or any heat strike them. / For the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will shepherd them / and lead them to springs of life-giving water, / and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Calls back to Psalm 23:
The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. / In green pastures he makes me lie down; to still waters he leads me; / he restores my soul. / He guides me along right path for the sake of his name. / Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me. / You set a table before me in front of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. / Indeed, goodness and mercy will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for endless days.
Color-coded some connections I can see, but thought it was cool to know.
