Saint Martin of Tours, Bishop

7:22For in her is the spirit of understanding: holy, singular, manifold, subtle, perceptive, lively, chaste, reliable, gracious, loving, good, astute, who forbids nothing beneficial, 23humane, kind, steadfast, trustworthy, secure, having all virtue, watching for all things and grasping all things with a pure and most delicate understanding of spirit. 24For wisdom is more active than all active things, yet she reaches everywhere because of her purity. 25For she is a breath of the virtue of God and a genuine emanation from the purity of the almighty God, and therefore nothing unclean can invade her. 26Indeed, she is the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of the majesty of God, and the image of his goodness. 27And though she is one, she can do all things; and, unchanging in herself, she renews all things, and throughout the nations she conveys herself to holy souls, establishing them as friends and prophets of God. 28For God loves none but those who dwell with wisdom. 29For she is more spectacular than the sun, and above the array of all the stars; compared with the light, she is found to be before it. 30Indeed, after her comes night, but wisdom will not be overcome by malice.

8:1Thus, she reaches mightily from one end all the way to the other, and she orders all things sweetly.

89LAMED. O Lord, your word remains firm in heaven, for all eternity.

90Your truth is from generation to generation. You have founded the earth, and it remains firm.

91By your ordinance, the day perseveres. For all things are in service to you.

…

130The declaration of your words illuminates, and it gives understanding to little ones.

…

135Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your justifications.

…

175My soul will live and will praise you, and your judgments will assist me.

20Then he was questioned by the Pharisees: “When does the kingdom of God arrive?” And in response, he said to them: “The kingdom of God arrives unobserved. 21And so, they will not say, ‘Behold, it is here,’ or ‘Behold, it is there.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” 22And he said to his disciples: “The time will come when you will desire to see one day of the Son of man, and you will not see it. 23And they will say to you, ‘Behold, he is here,’ and ‘Behold, he is there.’ Do not choose to go out, and do not follow them. 24For just as lightning flashes from under heaven and shines to whatever is under heaven, so also will the Son of man be in his day. 25But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
