Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy hath regenerated us unto a

lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead:
Unto an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled and that cannot fade, reserved in heaven for you,
Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wherein you shalt greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations:
That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and

glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
Whom having not seen, you love: in whom also now though you see him not, you believe and, believing, shall rejoice

with joy unspeakable and glorified;
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."
1 Peter 1.3-9

"I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just, and in the congregation.
Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.
He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:
He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.
He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth

for ever and ever."
Psalm 111.1-2,5-6,9-10

"And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good

Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?
And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.
Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no

fraud, honour thy father and mother.
But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth.
And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou

hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the

kingdom of God!
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it

for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God?
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be saved?
And Jesus looking on them, saith with men it is impossible; but not with God. For all things are possible with

God."
Mark 10.17-27
