"Life is worth more than what we eat or drink or wear...Look first for God's kingdom and being right with God. Then you will have all you need." Matthew 6:24-33
“…for God lets the sun shine on both good and bad people. If you love only people who love you, why should you be rewarded? Even sinners do that!”
Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!
Blessed are they whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the LORD.
Blessed are they who observe his decrees,
who seek him with all their heart.
Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord! Ps 119
Thus says the LORD:
Share your bread with the hungry,
shelter the oppressed and the homeless;
clothe the naked when you see them,
and do not turn your back on your own.
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,
and your wound shall quickly be healed;
your vindication shall go before you,
and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer,
you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am!
If you remove from your midst
oppression, false accusation and malicious speech;
if you bestow your bread on the hungry
and satisfy the afflicted;
then light shall rise for you in the darkness,
and the gloom shall become for you like midday. Isaiah 58:7-10
Simeon took the child into his arms and blessed God saying:
"Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel." Luke 2:22-40
He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19
"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." - John 1:29
"And a voice came from the heavens, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.'" Matthew 3:17
Brothers and Sisters:
You have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that
was given to me for your benefit,
namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation.
It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now
been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:
that the Gentiles are co-heirs, members of the same body,
and co-partners in the promise in Christ Jesus through
the Gospel. Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means “God is with us.”
