He shall drk from the stream by the wayside and therefore he shall lift up his head. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was the begng, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

10 Our Lord Jesus Christ, Kg of the Universe Lectio brevis 1 Cor 15:25-28 Christ must reign until God has put all enemies under his fe, and the last enemy to be destroyed is death. Scripture reads that God has placed all thgs under his fe. But when it says that everythg has been made subject, it is clear that he who has made everythg subject to Christ is excluded. When, fally, all has been subjected to the Son, he will then subject himself to the One who made all thgs subject to him, so that God may be all all.

From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great thgs for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good thgs, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children for ever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was the begng, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Preces L us pray to Christ the Kg.
