O God, You are my God, it is You I seek; for You my body longs and my soul thirsts, as a dry and weary land without water.
Thus have I gazed upon You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
I will bless You as long as I live, lift up my hands and call on Your Name. As with the richest food my soul will feast; my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord – the people He has chosen for His inheritance. The Lord looks down from heaven and sees the whole race of mortals.
But the Lord’s eyes are upon those who fear Him, upon those who trust in His loving-kindness to deliver them from death and preserve them from famine.
In hope we wait for the Lord, for He is our help and our shield. Our hearts rejoice in Him, for we trust in His Holy Name.

Romans 11 : 33-36
How deep are the riches, the wisdom and knowledge of God! His decisions cannot be explained, nor His ways understood!
Who has ever known God’s thoughts? Who has ever been His adviser? Who has given Him something first, so that God had to repay him?
For everything comes from Him, has been made by Him and has to return to Him. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
