whose sin is erased. - I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your precepts. - Blessed is the man

nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the company of scoffers. - Ah, Lord God, you made the heavens and the earth by your great power and your outstretched arm. Nothing is impossible for you.

because God is love. - This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you. - Therefore, if the Son sets you free,
you then will truly be free. - Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we should love one another. - You have already been cleansed
by the word I have spoken to you. - You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’
and rightly so,
for that is what I am.
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, it will be enough for us.”Even though I wander
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are at my side,
with your rod and your staff
that comfort me. Enriched in every way, you will be able to practice all your acts of generosity, which, through our intervention, will result in thanksgiving to God.Next verse!With image
