"As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel passed away. Because Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt.
And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them.
I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat.
How shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up.
I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city."
Hosea 11:1,3-4,8-9

"Behold, God is my saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation.
Thou shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour's fountains:
And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make his works known among the people: remember that his name is high.
Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: shew this forth in all the earth.
Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of thee, the Holy One of Israel."
Isaiah 12.2-6

"And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? You shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.
And they that were sent went their way and found the colt standing, as he said unto them.
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?
But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.
And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.
And when he was now coming near the descent of Mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,"
John 19.31-37

"To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ:
And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God who created all things:
That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,
According to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord:
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named:
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man:
That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and founded in charity,
You may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge: that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God."
Ephesians 3.8-12,14-19
