Saint Clare, Virgin

2:8But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee. 9And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up: and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.

3:1And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel. 2And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book: 3And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee. And I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth. 4And he said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak my words to them.

14I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.

…

24For thy testimonies are my meditation: and thy justifications my counsel.

…

72The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver.

…

103How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.

…

111I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart.

…

131I opened my mouth and panted: because I longed for thy commandments.

1At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? 2And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them, 3And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. 5And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

10See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

12What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray? 13And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray. 14Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
