Holy Gospel

7 Who among you would say to your servant coming in from the fields after plowing or tending sheep: ‘Come at once and sit down at table’? 8 No, you tell him: ‘Prepare my dinner. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink; you can eat and drink afterwards.’ 9 Do you thank this servant for doing what you commanded? 10 So for you. When you have done all that you have been told to do, you must say: ‘We are no more than servants; we have only done our duty.’

23 Indeed God created man to be immortal in the likeness of his own nature, 24 but the envy of the devil brought death to the world, and those who take his side shall experience death.

3.1 The souls of the just are in  the hands of God and no torment shall touch them.

2 In the eyes of the unwise they appear to be dead. Their going is held as a disaster; 3 it seems that they lose everything by departing from us, but they are in peace.

4 Though seemingly they have been punished, immortality was the soul of their hope. 5 After slight affliction will come great blessings, for God has tried them and found them worthy to be with him; 6 after testing them as gold in the furnace, he has accepted them as a holocaust.

7 At the time of his coming they will shine like sparks that run in the stubble. 8 They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their king forever.

9 Those who trust in him will penetrate the truth, those who are faithful will live with him in love, for his grace and mercy are for his chosen ones.

3 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the lowly hear and rejoice.

16 The eyes of the Lord are fixed on the righteous;
his ears are inclined to their cries.

17 But his face is set against the wicked
to destroy their memory from the earth.

18 The Lord hears the cry of the righteous
and rescues them from all their troubles.

19 The Lord is close to the
