Nations shall declare his wisdom, and the Church shall shew forth his praise.

And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you

Lest after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him, saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king about to go and make war against another king, doth not first sit down and think, whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that with twenty thousand cometh against him. Or else whilst the other is yet afar off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that be possesseth, cannot be my disciple

So also you now indeed have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice: and your joy no man shall take from you.

John heard as it were the voice of many multitudes in heaven, saying: Alleluia: salvation, and glory, and power is to our God: for just and true are his judgments, who hath judged the great harlot which corrupted the earth with her fornication, and hath revenged the blood of his servants at her hands. And again they said: Alleluia. And her smoke ascendeth for ever and ever. And the four and twenty ancients, and the four living creatures fell down and adored God that sitteth upon the throne, saying: Amen, Alleluia. And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Give praise to our God, all ye his servants: and you that fear him, little and great. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord our God Almighty hath reigned. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath prepared herself. And it is granted to her that she should clothe herself with fine linen glittering and white. For the fine linen are the justifications of the saints. And he said to me: Write: Blessed are they that are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb.
