17. And David said to God: “Am I not the one who ordered that the people be numbered? It is I who sinned; it is I who did evil. This flock, what does it deserve? O Lord my God, I beg you to let your hand be turned against me and against the house of my father. But let not your people be struck down.”





“Não nos preocupemos quando Deus põe à prova a nossa fidelidade. Confiemo-nos à Sua vontade; é o que podemos fazer. Deus nos libertará, consolará e enorajará.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
