By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International - Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you'” (49:14-15)... Elsewhere, Isaiah writes this evocative passage: “As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem” (Is 66: 13).

Or as Butker explains, it means fearlessly living out our Faith, knowing full well it is wildly countercultural.
