2) A Escuta
4:15, lyrics:
Santíssimo
Vinde em nosso auxílio
Vinde sede nossa luz
Vinde sede nossa luz

Com a força de Deus vamos vençer todas as tribulações.
Com a força de Deus vamos vençer todas as tribulaçoes.

Vendo porém, que muitos Fariseus e Saduceus vinham ao seu Baptismo, disse-lhes João:
raça de víboras, quem vos ensinou a fugir da cólera que está para vir?
Produzi frutos de conversão e não vos iludais a vós mesmos.
O machado já está posto à raíz das árvores e toda a árvore que não dá fruto será cortada e lançada ao fogo. (Mateus 3:7-8,10)

Até quando Senhor?
Esqueceste-me para sempre?
Até quando me esconderás a tua face?
Até quando terei a minha alma em cuidados e o meu coração em angústia todo o dia? (Salmo 13:1-3)

Santíssimo.
Vinde em nosso auxílio.
Vinde sede nossa luz.
Vinde sede nossa luz.

"Felizes os que seguem o caminho da rectidão e vivem segundo a lei do Senhor.
(Salmo 119:1)
Como há-de o jovem manter puro o seu caminho? Guardando as vossas palavras.
(Salmo 119:9)
Concede ao teu servo uma longa vida e eu cumprirei as tuas palavras.
(Salmo 119:17)
Abre os meus olhos para que eu veja as maravilhas da tua lei."
(Salmo 119:18)

"...then seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees arriving from his baptism. He said to them: Progeny of vipers, who warned you to flee from the approaching wrath? Therefore, produce fruit worthy of repentance. For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire." (Matthew 3:7-8,10)

"How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me? How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?" (Psalm 13:1-3)
