Saint Lawrence of Brindisi, Priest and Doctor

14Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old. 15According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.

…

18Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy. 19He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea. 20Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

2Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

3Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.

4Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.

5Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.

6Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?

7Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

8Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.

46As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. 47And one said unto him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking thee. 48But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? 49And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren. 50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
