Every tongue will confess to God.’” - Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position; and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

Let your Kingdom come.
Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’ - Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!

He is righteous, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding on a donkey,
even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. - Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
- Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. - But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
