Wisdom 7:7-14
(7) Because of this, I chose, and understanding was given to me; and I prayed, and the spirit of wisdom came to me (8) and I placed her before kingdoms and thrones, and I considered riches nothing in comparison with her (9) Neither did I compare to her a precious stone, for all gold in comparison with her is like a little sand, and silver, in view of her, will be valued as if dirt (10) I loved her above health and beauty, and I placed having her before light, for her light is unfailing (11) Yet all good things came to me together with her, and innumerable honors by her hand (12) and I rejoiced in all these, because this wisdom went before me, although I did not know that she is the mother of them all (13) This I have learned without falsehood and communicate without envy, and her integrity I do not hide (14) Indeed, she is an infinite treasure chest for men, and those who make use of it, become partakers in the friendship of God, because they are recommended by the gifts of instruction

Psalms 40:3-4, 10-11, 17
(3) May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries (4) May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering (10) For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me (11) But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them

Mark 16:15-20
(15) And he said to them: “Go forth to the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature (16) Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Yet truly, whoever will not have believed will be condemned (17) Now these signs will accompany those who believe. In my name, they shall cast out demons. They will speak in new languages (18) They will take up serpents, and, if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them. They shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they will be well. (19) And indeed, the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and he sits at the right hand of God (20) Then they, setting out, preached everywhere, with the Lord cooperating and confirming the word by the accompanying signs
