Saint Hedwig, Religious/Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin

13For the Promise to Abraham, and to his posterity, that he would inherit the world, was not through the law, but through the justice of faith.

…

16Because of this, it is from faith according to grace that the Promise is ensured for all posterity, not only for those who are of the law, but also for those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all before God, 17in whom he believed, who revives the dead and who calls those things that do not exist into existence. For it is written: “I have established you as the father of many nations.” 18And he believed, with a hope beyond hope, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to what was said to him: “So shall your posterity be.”

6you offspring of Abraham his servant, you sons of Jacob his elect.

7He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout the entire earth.

8He has remembered his covenant for all ages: the word that he entrusted to a thousand generations,

9which he assigned to Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.

…

42For he had called to mind his holy word, which he kept near to his servant Abraham.

43And he led forth his people in exultation, and his elect in rejoicing.

8But I say to you: Everyone who will have confessed me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the Angels of God. 9But everyone who will have denied me before men, he will be denied before the Angels of God. 10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven of him. But of him who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven. 11And when they will lead you to the synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not choose to be worried about how or what you will answer, or about what you might say. 12For the Holy Spirit will teach you, in the same hour, what you must say.”
