The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who is braced to effort neither in the office nor out of it
Great minds are like eagles, and build their nest in some lofty solitude.
There is a direct pleasure in seeing work grow under one's hands day by day, until at last it is finished.
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.
Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.
So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason to boast in himself, and not in someone else.
Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”
For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
