"God said: Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground".
"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the desert to be put to the test by the devil.
He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he was hungry, and the tester came and said to him, "If you are Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves". But he replied: "Scriptures says: Human beings live not on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God".
"But the upright live for ever, their recompense is with the Lord and the Most High takes care of them. So they will receive the glorious crown and the diadem of beauty from the Lord's hand and with his arm he will shield them.
For armour he will take his jealous love, he will arm creation to punish his enemies; he will put on justice as breastplate and for helmet wear his forthright judgement; he will take up invincible holiness for shield, of his pitiless wrath he will forge a sword and the universe will march with him to fight the reckless".
"In my estimation, all that we suffer in the present time is nothing in comparison with the glory which is destined to be disclosed for us, for the whole creation is waiting with eagerness for the children of God to be revealed".
