Saint Leo the Great, Pope and Doctor

1Wisdom is better than strength, and a wise man is better than a strong man. 2Hear therefore, ye kings, and understand: learn, ye that are judges of the ends of the earth. 3Give ear, you that rule the people, and that please yourselves in multitudes of nations: 4For power is given you by the Lord, and strength by the most High, who will examine your works, and search out your thoughts: 5Because being ministers of his kingdom, you have not judged rightly, nor kept the law of justice, nor walked according to the will of God. 6Horribly and speedily will he appear to you: for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule. 7For to him that is little, mercy is granted: but the mighty shall be mightily tormented. 8For God will not except any man's person, neither will he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he made the little and the great, and he hath equally care of all. 9But a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty. 10To you, therefore, O kings, are these my words, that you may learn wisdom, and not fall from it. 11For they that have kept just things justly, shall be justified: and they that have learned these things, shall find what to answer.

3Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

4Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

…

6I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

7But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

11And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off; 13And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us. 14Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean. 15And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. 16And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan. 17And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine? 18There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger. 19And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
