Saint Jean Vianney (the Cure of Ars), Priest

1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: You shall write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.

…

12For thus says the Lord: “Your fracture is incurable; your wound is very serious. 13There is no one who may judge your judgment, so as to bandage it; there is no useful treatment for you. 14All your lovers have forgotten you, and they will not seek you. For I have wounded you with the strike of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement. Your sins have become hardened because of the multitude of your iniquities. 15Why do you cry out over your affliction? Your pain is incurable. I have done these things to you because of the multitude of your iniquity and because of your hardened sins.

…

18Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will turn back the turning away of the tabernacles of Jacob, and I will take pity on his roofs. And the city will be built up in her heights, and the temple will be founded according to its order. 19And praise will go forth from them, with the voice of those who play. And I will multiply them, and they will not be lessened. And I will glorify them, and they will not be weakened. 20And their sons will be as in the beginning. And their assembly will remain in my sight. And I will visit against all those who trouble them. 21And their ruler will be one of their own. And their prince will be led forward from their midst. And I will draw him near, and he will cling to me. For who is the one who applies his heart, so that he may draw near to me, says the Lord? 22And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.”

16And the Gentiles will fear your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.

17For the Lord has built up Zion, and he will be seen in his glory.

18He has noticed the prayer of the humble, and he has not despised their petition.

19Let these things be written in another generation, and the people who will be created will praise the Lord.

20For he has gazed from his high sanctuary. From heaven, the Lord has beheld the earth.

21So may he hear the groans of those in shackles, in order that he may release the sons of the slain.

…

29The sons of your servants will live, and their offspring will be guided aright in every age.

…

22So may they announce the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem:

23while the people convene, along with kings, in order that they may serve the Lord.

22And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds. 23And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there. 24But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them. 25Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea. 26And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear. 27And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.” 28Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you over the waters.” 29And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus. 30Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me.” 31And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?” 32And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased. 33Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.” 34And having crossed the sea, they arrived in the land of Genesaret. 35And when the men of that place had recognized him, they sent into all that region, and they brought to him all who had maladies. 36And they petitioned him, so that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.
