...for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, ...I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to y...ou who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I. Are they ministers of Christ? I... am talking like a madman -I am a better one: with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless floggings, and often near death. Five times I have received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I received a stoning. Three times I was shipwrecked; for a night and a day I was adrift at sea; on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from bandits, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers and sisters; in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, hungry and thirsty, often without food, cold and naked. And, besides other things, I am under daily pressure because of my anxiety for all the churches.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Then he looked up at his disciples and said: Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you w...ho are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,... for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I know what it is to have little, and I know what it is to have plenty. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of ...being well-fed and of going hungry, of having plenty and of being in need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
