Saint Boniface, bishop and martyr

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me. And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error. But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

Many are they that persecute me, and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies.

The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever. SIN

Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words.

Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling-block.

I looked for thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments.

I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight. TAU

And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say, that Christ is the son of David? For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool. David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
