Lectio

Sirach 35: 1- 12

35:1 Whoever observes the law multiplies oblations.

35:2 It is a salutary sacrifice to attend to the commandments and to withdraw from all iniquity.

35:3 And to depart from injustice is to offer a propitiatory sacrifice for injustices and a supplication for sins.

35:4 Whoever gives thanks, offers a gift of fine flour, and whoever acts with mercy, offers a sacrifice.

35:5 To withdraw from iniquity is well-pleasing to the Lord. And to withdraw from injustice is a supplication for sins.

35:6 You should not appear empty before the sight of the Lord.

35:7 For all these things are to be done because of the commandment of God.

35:8 The oblation of the just fattens the altar, and is a fragrance of sweetness in the sight of the Most High.

35:9 The sacrifice of the just is acceptable, and the Lord will never forget the memorial of it.

35:10 Render glory to God with a good heart. And you should not reduce the first-fruits of your hands.

35:11 With every gift, have a cheerful countenance, and sanctify your tithes with exultation.

35:12 Give to the Most High according to his gifts to you, and act with a good eye toward the creations of your hands.
