Here are some selected items of scripture taken from Magnificat. My last post of scripture was in May, 2013.
Deuteronomy 1:31
you saw how the LORD, your God, carried you, as one carries his own child, all along your journey until you arrived at this place.
John 16:33
I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Luke 12:15
Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.
John 14:27-28
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us
Sirach 4:11-19
Wisdom teaches her children
and admonishes all who can understand her.
Those who love her love life;
those who seek her out win the LORD’s favor.
Those who hold her fast will attain glory,
and they shall abide in the blessing of the LORD.
Those who serve her serve the Holy One;
those who love her the Lord loves.
“Whoever obeys me will judge nations;
whoever listens to me will dwell in my inmost chambers.
If they remain faithful, they will possess me;
their descendants too will inherit me.
“I will walk with them in disguise,
and at first I will test them with trials.
Fear and dread I will bring upon them
and I will discipline them with my constraints.
When their hearts are fully with me,
then I will set them again on the straight path
and reveal my secrets to them.
But if they turn away from me, I will abandon them
and deliver them over to robbers.”
