Hail to you, who contained Him, Who
cannot be contained in your holy virginal
womb.
Option 1
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
Do not be like the horse or the mule,which have no understandingbut must be controlled by bit and bridle or they
will not come to you.
Many are the woes of the wicked,but the Lord’s unfailing lovesurrounds the one who trusts in him. Ps 32:8-10
Option 2
The heart of the prudent acquires
knowledge, and the ear of the wise
seeks knowledge.
Pro. 18: 15

God; If we have actually begun to be
His temples: If we have received His
Holy Spirit, we have got to live holy and
spiritually.

him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. ….

that very hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared the people for they knew He had spoken this
parable against them. Luke 20:16,19

scatter our darkness, for Your image to shine in
us.
