- The young lions suffer want and hunger,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. - There is no Holy One like the Lord,
no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.
- The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it.

He was revealed in flesh,
vindicated in spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among Gentiles,
