Bible reading: Sirach 18: 1-5

The Eternal is the judge of all things without exception;

the Lord alone is just.

Whom has he made equal to describing his works,

and who can probe his mighty deeds?

Who can measure his majestic power,

or exhaust the tale of his mercies?

One cannot lessen, nor increase,

nor penetrate the wonders of the Lord.

When a man ends he is only beginning,

and when he stops he is still bewildered.
