Sirach 44:1, 10-15
(1) Let us praise the men of glory, and our ancestors in their generation (10) But these were men of mercy, whose pious deeds have not failed (11) Good things continue with their offspring (12) Their descendents are a holy inheritance, and their offspring stand firm in the covenants (13) And because of them, their sons remain even unto eternity. Their offspring and their glory will not be forsaken (14) Their bodies were buried in peace, and their name lives on, from generation to generation (15) Let the people declare their wisdom, and let the Church announce their praise

(1) Unto the end. A Psalm of David. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul (2) In you, my God, I trust. Let me not be put to shame (3) And do not let my enemies laugh at me. For all who remain with you will not be confounded (4) May all those who act unjustly over nothing be confounded. O Lord, demonstrate your ways to me, and teach me your paths (5) Direct me in your truth, and teach me. For you are God, my Saviour, and I remain with you all day long (6) O Lord, remember your compassion and your mercies, which are from ages past

(18) But Jesus said to him, “Why call me good? No one is good except the one God (19) You know the precepts: “Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not speak false testimony. Do not deceive. Honor your father and mother. (20) But in response, he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have observed from my youth. (21) Then Jesus, gazing at him, loved him, and he said to him: “One thing is lacking to you. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and then you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
