10Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you that mourn for her.

11That you may suck, and be filled with the breasts of her consolations: that you may milk out, and flow with delights, from the abundance of her glory.

12For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring upon her as it were a river of peace, and as an overflowing torrent the glory of the Gentiles, which you shall suck; you shall be carried at the breasts, and upon the knees they shall caress you.

13As one whom the mother caresseth, so will I comfort you, and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

14You shall see and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb, and the hand of the Lord shall be known to his servants, and he shall be angry with his enemies.

1A gradual canticle of David. Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

2If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

3Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

1At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

2And Jesus, calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them.

3And said: amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

5And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
