Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart

+

Mt 22:37 Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. 38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 And the second is like [originates from and is dependent on this first one and upholding it] to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

Matthew 10:38

And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.

Matthew 16:24

Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Luke 1:50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him [reverence and follow and do His will].

51 He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54 He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:

 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people: 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant: 70 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning [from Adam on]:

71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us: 72 To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament, 73 The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us, 74 That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear, 75 In holiness and justice before him, all our days.

Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will. 

29 Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Master, according to thy word in peace; 30 Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples: 32 A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 

Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted [spoken against];

Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a moneybag, let him take it, and likewise a traveling bag; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.

1 And he shewed me a river of [the] water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding [coming forth] from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street [place] thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month [its fruit according to each month], and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations [and the leaves of the tree for the healing of the nations {nations = peoples}]. 3 And there shall be no curse any more; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him. 4 And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten them, and they shall reign for ever and ever.

14 Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. 15 Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.

2 Cor. 6:16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God says: I will dwell and move among them, I will be their God and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore: Come out from among them, be separated, Apoc. 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Go out from her my people, that you may not share in her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues.” saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; Jer. 51:45 Leave her, my people, let each one save himself from the burning wrath of the Lord. 18 and I will welcome you in, and will be a Father to you and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Pantocrator. 

Heb 1:5 For to which of the angels has he ever said, Thou art my son [Jesus Christ the Immortal Son of the Father], I this day have begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a son?

Rev.22:20 Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Canticles Every Day

Ode 9, Part 1 The Magnificat Luke 1, 46-55 

MY soul doth magnify the Lord:

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior,

Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed,

Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me, and holy is his name.

And his mercy is from generation unto generation to those that fear him.

He hath showed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.

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

He hath received Israel, his servant, being mindful of his mercy,

As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. All generations shall call me blessed, for God hath regarded his lowly handmaid.

Ode 9, Part 2 Canticle of Zachary Luke 1 :68-79

BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people: And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:

As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began.

Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:

To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,

The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,

That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear.

In holiness and justice before him, all our days.

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:

To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:

Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:

To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother: Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be spoken against.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
