"He who created you, o
Jacob, he who formed you, o Israel: fear not, for I have redeemed
you: I have called you by name; you are mine. When you pass through
the waters, I will be with you: when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you
will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the
Lord, your God. The Holy One of Israel, your savior. I give Egypt
for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious
and honored in my sight and because I love you...Do not be afraid,
for I am with you." (Is 43,1-5)
"Listen to me, all you
whom I have upheld since you were concieved, and have carried since
your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who
will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you: I will
sustain you and I will rescue you." (Is 46,3-4)
"The Lord God formed
man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life, and man became a living being." (Gn 2,7)
Blessed are the poor
in spirit...(Mt 5,1-12)
Love is not envyous,
not boasteful, not proud, not rude, and not self-seeking. But love
protects always, trusts always, hopes and perseveres always. (1 Cor
13) "Let us make man and woman in our image, in our likeness and let
them rule over all creatures...God created man in his own image, in
the image of God he created him, male and female he created. God
blesses them...God saw all he made and it was very good." (Gn
1,1-31)
