St. Matthew 13:43 [top]

A-I

⁴³ Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

St. Luke 1:48-49 [top]

A-II

⁴⁸ Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

A-III

⁴⁹ Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.

Galatians 4:22-31 [top]

A-IV

²² For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman.

A-V

²³ But he who was of the bondwoman, was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise.

A-VI

²⁴ Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from mount Sina, engendering unto bondage; which is Agar:

A-VII

²⁵ For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
²⁶ But that Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is our mother.

A-VIII

²⁷ For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.

A-IX

²⁸ Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

A-X

²⁹ But as then he, that was born according to the flesh, persecuted him that was after the spirit; so also it is now.
³⁰ But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.
³¹ So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free.

St. James 5:16b [top]

B-I

For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.

I Peter 4

B-II

¹³ But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

I Peter 5

5 The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:

² Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre’s sake, but voluntarily:

³ Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.

⁴ And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you.

¹¹ To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

II Peter 3

B-II

¹³ But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth.

B-III

¹⁴ Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace.

1 Corinthians 13

C-I

⁴ Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up;

C-II

⁵ Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil;

C-III

⁶ Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth;

C-IV

⁷ Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

C-V

⁸ Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed.

C-VI

⁹ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

C-VII

¹⁰ But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

C-VIII

¹¹ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child.

C-IX

¹² We see now through a glass in a dark manner; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I shall know even as I am known.

C-X

¹³ And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.

St. Matthew 25

D-I

³¹ And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty.

D-II

³² And all nations shall be gathered together before Him, and He shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats:

D-III

³³ And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on His left.

D-IV

³⁴ Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

D-V

³⁵ For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:

D-VI

³⁶ Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me.

D-VII

³⁷ Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink?

D-VIII

³⁸ And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee?

D-IX

³⁹ Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee?

D-X

⁴⁰ And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

1 Timothy 1

E-I

¹⁷ Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

2 Timothy 2

E-II

¹⁰ Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory.

E-III

¹¹ A faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall live also with him.

E-IV

¹² If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.

Judith 15

¹⁰ And when she was come out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people:
