Bible Verses

Matthew 6:24-34 No man can serve two masters

6:24 “No man can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other or be attentive to one and despise the other. You cannot give yourself to God and money.
6:25 I warn you, then: do not worry about your livelihood, what your are to eat or drink or use for clothing. Is not life more than food? Is not the body more valuable than clothes?
6:26 “Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?
6:27 Which of you by worrying can add a moment to his life-span?
6:28 As for clothes, why be concerned? Learn a lesson from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work; they do not spin.
6:29 Yet I assure you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was arrayed like one of these.
6:30 If God can clothe in such splendor the grass of the field, which blooms today and is thrown on the fire tomorrow, will he not provide much more for you, O weak in faith!
6:31 Stop worrying, then, over questions like, ‘What are we to eat, or what are we to drink, or what are we to wear?’
6:32 The unbelievers are always running after these things. Your heavenly Father knows all that you need.
6:33 Seek first his kingship over you, his way of holiness, and all of these things will be given you besides.
6:34 Enough, then, of worrying about tomorrow. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Today has troubles enough of its own.

Philippians 2:1-11 Jesus Christ is Lord!

In the name of the encouragement you owe me in Christ, in the name of the solace that love can give, of fellowship in spirit, compassion, and pity, I beg you: make my joy complete by your unanimity, possessing the one love, united in spirit and ideals. Never act out of rivalry or conceit; rather, let all parties think humbly of others as superior to themselves, each of you looking to others’ interests rather than to his own. Your attitude must be that of Christ:

Though he was in the form of God,
he did not deem equality with God something to be grasped at.

Rather, he emptied himself and took the form of a slave,
being born in the likeness of men.

He was known to be of human estate,
and it was thus that he humbled himself,
obediently accepting even death,
death on a cross!

Because of this,
God highly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name
above every other name,

So that at Jesus’’ name
every knee must bend
in the heavens , on the earth,
and under the earth, and every tongue proclaim
to the glory of God the Father:

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!

Philippians 4:8 Think about these things

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if there is anything excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.

Matthew 5:3-10 The Beatitudes

3“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.

6 Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.

7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they will see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.

10 Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

1 Peter 2:21-24 By His wounds you were healed

Christ suffered for you and left you an example, to have you follow in his footsteps. He did no wrong; no deceit was found in his mouth. When he was insulted, he returned no insult. When he was made to suffer, he did not counter with threats. Instead, he delivered himself up to the One who judges justly. In his own body he brought your sins to the cross, so that all of us, dead to sin, could live in accord with God’s will. By his wounds you were healed.

Luke 1:46-55 Canticle of Mary

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and Holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation

He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.

Luke 2:8-14 Nativity

2:8 * Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock.
2:9 The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear.
2:10 The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
2:11 * For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.
2:12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
2:13 And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:

2:14 * “Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

James 1:5-8 Ask in faith, not doubting

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and he will be given it. 6 But he should ask in faith, not doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed about by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 since he is a man of two minds, unstable in all his ways.

Micah 6:8 You have been told, O man

You have been told, O man, what is good,
and what the Lord requires of you:
Only to do right and to love goodness,
and to walk humbly with your God.

Luke 17:10 We have only done our duty

So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty’.

Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.

Rev 21:1-5 All things new

1 Then I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer. 2 I also saw a new Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God, beautiful as a bride prepared to meet her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice from the throne cry out: “This is God’s dwelling among men. He shall dwell with them and they shall be his people and he shall be their God who is always with them. 4 He shall wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, crying out or pain, for the former world has passed away.”

5 The one who sat on the throne said to me, “See, I make all things new!” Then he said, “Write these matters down, for the words are trustworthy and true!”

Romans 11:33-36 Who has know the mind of the Lord?

33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are His judgements and how unsearchable His ways!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been His counselor?”

35 “Or who has given Him anything that he may be repaid?”

36 For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. Amen

Luke 1:44 The infant in my womb leaped for joy

For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.

2 Corinthians 6:16 – 7:1 We are the temple of the living God

6:16 For we are the temple of the living God; as God said:
“I will live with them and move among them, *
and I will be their God
and they shall be my people.
6:17 Therefore, come forth from them
and be separate,” says the Lord,
“and touch nothing unclean;
then I will receive you
6:18 and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
7:1 Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, making holiness perfect in the fear of God.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 Purgatory

12 Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—13 each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.

1 Corinthians 11:27-31 Receiving Communion

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

Colossians 1:24 Offer up suffering

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church.

1 Peter 3:15-17 A defense of your faith

Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence; 16and keep your conscience clear, so that, when you are abused, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17For it is better to suffer for doing right, if that should be God’s will, than for doing wrong.

Prayers

Eucharistic Prayer II Preface

It is truly right and just, our duty and salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Father most holy, through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, your Word through whom you made all things, whom you sent as our Savior and Redeemer, incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin. Fulfilling your will and gaining for you a holy people, he stretched out his hands as he endured his Passion, so as to break the bonds of death and manifest the resurrection. And so, with the Angels and all the Saints we declare your glory, as with one voice we acclaim:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.

Mateo 6:24-34 Nadie puede servir a dos Señores

24 Nadie puede servir a dos Señores, pues menospreciará a uno y amará al otro, o querrá mucho a uno y despreciará al otro. No se puede servir a la vez a Dios y a las riquezas.

25 Por eso les digo: no se preocupan por su vida, que comerán o beberán; ni por su cuerpo, cómo se vestirán. ¿No tiene la vida más valor que la comida, y el cuerpo más que la ropa? 26 Fíjense en las aves del cielo: no siembran, ni cosechan, ni almacenan en graneros, sin embargo el Padre celestial las alimenta. ¿No valen ustedes mucho más que ellas? 27 ¿Quien de ustedes, por mucho que se preocupe, puede añadir una sola hora al curso de su vida?

28 ¿Y por qué se preocupan por la ropa? Observan cómo crecen los lirios del campo. No trabajan ni hilan; 29 sin embargo, les digo que ni siquiera Salomón, con todo su esplendor, se vestía como uno de ellos. 30 Si así viste Dios a la hierba que hoy está en el campo, y mañana es arrojada al horno, ¿No hará mucho más por ustedes, gente de poco fe? 31 Así que no se preocupan diciendo “¿Que comeremos?” o “¿Que beberemos?” o “¿Con que nos vestiremos?”. 32 Porque los paganos andan tras estas cosas ellas, y el Padre celestial sabe que las necesitan. 33 Más bien, busquen primeramente el reino de Dios, y su justicia, y todas estas cosas les serán añadidas. 34 Por lo tanto, no se angustien por el mañana, el cual tendrá sus propios afanes. Cada día tiene ya sus problemas.

Padre Nuestro

Padre nuestro, que estás en el cielo. Santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada dia. Perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden. No nos dejes caer en tentación y libranos del mal. Amén.

Ave Maria

Dios te salve, Maria. Llena eres de gracia: El Señor es contigo. Bendita tú eres entre todas las mujeres. Y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre: Jesús. Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén.
