Saint Vincent de Paul, Priest

1And the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying: 2Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have been jealous for Sion with a great jealousy, and with a great indignation have I been jealous for her. 3Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I am returned to Sion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, The sanctified mountain. 4Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem: and every man with his staff in his hand through multitude of days. 5And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls, playing in the streets thereof. 6Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If it seem hard in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days: shall it be hard in my eyes, saith the Lord of hosts? 7Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will save my people from the land of the east, and from the land of the going down of the sun. 8And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God in truth and in justice.

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

17For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.

18He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.

19Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:

20Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.

21That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:

…

29The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.

…

22That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;

23When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.

46And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater. 47But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him, 48And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater. 49And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. 50And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.
