Psalms, 101

1. I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing praise.

2. I will walk the way of integrity - O Lord, when will you come to me? With a blameless heart I will walk within my house.

3. I will not set before my eyes anything that is base. I hate the deeds of faithless people; I will have no part in them.

4. I will banish all wicked hearts, and evil I will not know.

5. He who deals with others treacherously, I will silence. He who talks and acts arrogantly, I will not endure.

6. I will choose from the faithful of the land those who may dwell with me; only the upright shall be my servant.

7. No double-dealer shall live in my house; no one who utters falsehood shall stand before my eyes.

8. Each morning I will clear the land and silence all the wicked; I will uproot all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.

“É difícil tornar-se santo. Difícil, mas não impossível. A estrada da perfeição é longa, tão longa quanto a vida de cada um. O consolo é o repouso no decorrer do caminho. Mas, apenas restauradas as forças, é necessário levantar-se rapidamente e retomar a viagem!” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
