Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Return to your stronghold, oh prisoner of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.

ll things have been handed over to me by my Father. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
