What the Fathers say

Lamentations 5:3

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

Regarding divine protection Verse 3 declares: "We have become orphans, fatherless;". That is, we are destitute of divine direction, like to a paternal consolation. And: "our mothers are like widows." Since definite security is called for. As the prophet Isaiah asserts: "Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over their young men, and, has not compassion on their fatherless and widows, for everyone is godless and an evil doer, and every mouth speaks folly." (Is: 9:17).
