'He has not treated us according to our sins. For we are his children. How do we prove this? The only Son died for us so that he would not remain the only child. He did not want to be alone, who died alone. The only Son of God made many children for God. He bought himself brothers and sisters with his blood; rejected, he accepted us; sold, he bought us back; dishonoured, he honoured us; killed, he brought us life.

So then, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord, not in the world; that is, rejoice in faithfulness and not in iniquity; rejoice in the hope of eternity and not the brief flower of vanity. Rejoice thus, and wherever you are here, as long as you are here, the Lord is very near: do not be anxious about anything.'

St. Augustine

Now Mama Mary has many children because of Jesus!

Sing joyfully unto God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness.

Jubilate Deo, omnis terra: servite Domino in laetitia.

Omnis terra. For some reason those two words stay with me. :) I like the sound of them in the Latin.

Just think if all the world sang joyfully unto God!

It's quite a thought! :D
