Romans 3:21-30
(21) But now, without the law, the justice of God, to which the law and the prophets have testified, has been made manifest (22) And the justice of God, through the faith of Jesus Christ, is in all those and over all those who believe in him. For there is no distinction (23) For all have sinned and all are in need of the glory of God (24) We have been justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (25) whom God has offered as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to reveal his justice for the remission of the former offenses (26) and by the forbearance of God, to reveal his justice in this time, so that he himself might be both the Just One and the Justifier of anyone who is of the faith of Jesus Christ (27) So then, where is your self-exaltation? It is excluded. Through what law? That of works? No, but rather through the law of faith (28) For we judge a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law (29) Is God of the Jews only and not also of the Gentiles? On the contrary, of the Gentiles also (30) For One is the God who justifies circumcision by faith and uncircumcision through faith
Psalms 130:1-6
(1) A Canticle in steps: of David. O Lord, my heart has not been exalted, and my eyes have not been raised up. Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond me (2) When I was not humble in thought, then I lifted up my soul. Like one who has been weaned from his mother, so was I recompensed in my soul (3) Let Israel hope in the Lord, from this time forward and even forever
Luke 11:47-54
(47) Woe to you, who build the tombs of the prophets, while it is your fathers who killed them (48) Clearly, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers (49) Because of this also, the wisdom of God said: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, and some of these they will kill or persecute (50) so that the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation (51) from the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. So I say to you: it will be required of this generation (52) Woe to you, experts in the law! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves do not enter, and those who were entering, you would have prohibited. (53) Then, while he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the experts in the law began to insist strongly that he restrain his mouth about many things (54) And waiting to ambush him, they sought something from his mouth that they might seize upon, in order to accuse him
Ephesians 3:14-19
(14) By reason of this grace, I bend my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (15) from whom all paternity in heaven and on earth takes its name (16) And I ask him to grant to you to be strengthened in virtue by his Spirit, in accord with the wealth of his glory, in the inner man (17) so that Christ may live in your hearts through a faith rooted in, and founded on, charity (18) So may you be able to embrace, with all the saints, what is the width and length and height and dept (19) of the charity of Christ, and even be able to know that which surpasses all knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God
Psalms 23:1-6
(1) For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it (2) For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers (3) Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place (4) The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor (5) He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Saviour (6) This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob
Matthew 11:25-30
(25) At that time, Jesus responded and said: “I acknowledge you, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones (26) Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you (27) All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him (28) Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls (30) For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light.
