Si 7,27 – On total dedication

Give glory to your father, and forget not the pangs of your mother that she suffered for you. Remember that of them you were born. And what will you recompense them for the things they have done for you? Fear the Lord with all your soul. Love the one has made you, and honor his servants. Give offerings, the first portion, trespass offerings, the gift of the shoulders, the sacrifice of sanctification, and the first fruits of holy things. To the poor man stretch out your hand. A gift has grace in the sight of every man living. Be not lacking to those who weep, and visit the sick. In all your matters remember your last end, and you will never do amiss.
