Sirach 50:1, 3-4, 6-7
(1) Simon, the high priest, son of Onias: in his life, he propped up the house, and in his days, he strengthened the temple (3) In his days, waters flowed out from the wells, and these were full beyond measure, like the sea (4) He cared for his nation, and he freed it from perdition (6) He shined in his days like the morning star through the midst of a cloud, and like the full moon (7) And he shined forth in the temple of God in this manner: like the sun when it shines brightly
Psalms 16:1-2, 5, 7-8, 11
(1) A Prayer of David. Lord, listen to my justice, attend to my supplication. Pay attention to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips (2) Let my judgment proceed from your presence. Let your eyes behold fairness (5) Perfect my steps in your paths, so that my footsteps may not be disturbed (7) Make your mercies wonderful, for you save those who hope in you (8) From those who resist your right hand, preserve me like the pupil of your eye. Protect me under the shadow of your wings (11) They have cast me out, and now they have surrounded me. They have cast their eyes down to the earth
Galatians 6:14-18
(14) But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world (15) For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails in any way, but instead there is a new creature (16) And whoever follows this rule: may peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God (17) Concerning other matters, let no one trouble me. For I carry the stigmata of the Lord Jesus in my body (18) May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen
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.
