Deuteronomy 6:4 'Our God is ONE'

Hear O Israel! The LORD is our God, The LORD alone! Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God, With all your heart, and  With all your soul, and With all your strength. Take to heart these words Which I enjoin on you today.

Audi Israel Dominus Deus noster Dominus unus est Diliges Dominum Deum tuum Ex toto corde tuo et Ex tota anima tua et Ex tota fortitudine tua Eruntque verba haec quae ego praecipio tibi hodie in corde tuo.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 'A Time for Everything'

1 There is an appointed time for everything, and     a time for every affair under the heavens. 2 A time to be born, and a time to die;     a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal;     a time to tear down, and a time to build. 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh;     a time to mourn, and a time to dance. 5 A time to scatter stones and      a time to gather them;     a time to embrace and     a time to be far from embraces    6 A time to seek, and a time to lose;     a time to keep, and a time to cast away. 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew;     a time to be silent, and a time to speak. 8 A time to love, and a time to hate;    a time of war and a time of peace.                               +++++ 11 God has made everything     appropriate to its time and     God has put the timeless into their hearts     without men's ever discovering     from beginning to end         the work which God has done. 14 I recognized that whatever God does will endure forever;     there is no adding to it, or taking from it.     Thus has God done that he may be revered 15 What now is has already been;      what is to be, already is and     God restores what would otherwise be replaced 22 And I saw that there is nothing better for a man     than to rejoice in his work;     for this is his lot.     Who will let him see what is to come after him?

Matthew 5:1-14 'The Beatitudes'

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.   He began to teach them, saying:   Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.   Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.   Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.   Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.   Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.   Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.    Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.   "You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.

John 1:1-14 'The Last Gospel'

In principio erat Verbum et Verbum erat apud Deum et Deus erat Verbum hoc erat in principio apud Deum omnia per ipsum facta sunt et sine ipso factum est nihil quod factum est in ipso vita erat et vita erat lux hominum et lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non conprehenderunt fuit homo missus a Deo cui nomen erat Iohannes hic venit in testimonium ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine ut omnes crederent per illum non erat ille lux sed ut testimonium perhiberet de lumine erat lux vera quae inluminat omnem hominem venientem in mundum in mundo erat et mundus per ipsum factus est et mundus eum non cognovit in propria venit et sui eum non receperunt quotquot autem receperunt eum dedit eis potestatem filios Dei fieri his qui credunt in nomine eius qui non ex sanguinibus neque ex voluntate carnis neque ex voluntate viri sed ex Deo nati sunt et Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis et vidimus gloriam eius gloriam quasi unigeniti a Patre plenum gratiae et veritatis.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Word was in the beginning with God; all things were made through Him, and without Him was made nothing that has been made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness grasped it not. There was a man, one sent from God, whose name was John. This man came as a witness, to bear witness concerning the Light, so that all might believe through him. He was not himself the Light, but was to bear witness to the Light; the true Light that enlightens every man that comes into the world. He was in the world and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.  He came unto his own and his own received him not. But to as many as received him, he gave the power to become the children of God; to those who believe in his name; who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. And we saw His glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
