When the time of David's death drew near, he gave these instructions to his son Solomon: "I am going the way of all flesh. Take courage and be a man."; Lord, you are exalted over all.; Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits.

Quote:
I would like an abundance of peace.
I would like full vessels of charity.
I would like rich treasures of mercy.
I would like cheerfulness to preside over all.
I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us.
I would like the friends of Heaven to be gathered around us from all parts.
I would like myself to be a rent payer to the Lord; that I should suffer distress, that he would bestow a good blessing upon me.
I would like a great lake of ale for the King of Kings.
-Attributed to St. Brigid of Ireland
