No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Nemo potest duobus dominis servire : aut enim unum odio habebit, et alterum diliget : aut unum sustinebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonae.

 25 Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?
Ideo dico vobis, ne solliciti sitis animae vestrae quid manducetis, neque corpori vestro quid induamini. Nonne anima plus est quam esca, et corpus plus quam vestimentum?

 26 Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they?
Respicite volatilia caeli, quoniam non serunt, neque metunt, neque congregant in horrea : et Pater vester caelestis pascit illa. Nonne vos magis pluris estis illis?

 27 And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?
Quis autem vestrum cogitans potest adjicere ad staturam suam cubitum unum?

 28 And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin.
Et de vestimento quid solliciti estis? Considerate lilia agri quomodo crescunt : non laborant, neque nent.

 29 But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
Dico autem vobis, quoniam nec Salomon in omni gloria sua coopertus est sicut unum ex istis.

 30 And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?
Si autem foenum agri, quod hodie est, et cras in clibanum mittitur, Deus sic vestit, quanto magis vos modicae fidei?

 31 Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
Nolite ergo solliciti esse, dicentes : Quid manducabimus, aut quid bibemus, aut quo operiemur?

 32 For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.
haec enim omnia gentes inquirunt. Scit enim Pater vester, quia his omnibus indigetis.

 33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Quaerite ergo primum regnum Dei, et justitiam ejus : et haec omnia adjicientur vobis.

He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Dixit ergo : Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum, et reverti.

 13 And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.
Vocatis autem decem servis suis, dedit eis decem mnas, et ait ad illos : Negotiamini dum venio.

 14 But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us.
Cives autem ejus oderant eum : et miserunt legationem post illum, dicentes : Nolumus hunc regnare super nos.

 15 And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Et factum est ut rediret accepto regno : et jussit vocari servos, quibus dedit pecuniam, ut sciret quantum quisque negotiatus esset.

 16 And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Venit autem primus dicens : Domine, mna tua decem mnas acquisivit.

 17 And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.
Et ait illi : Euge bone serve, quia in modico fuisti fidelis, eris potestatem habens super decem civitates.

 18 And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Et alter venit, dicens : Domine, mna tua fecit quinque mnas.

 19 And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.
Et huic ait : Et tu esto super quinque civitates.

 20 And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;
Et alter venit, dicens : Domine, ecce mna tua, quam habui repositam in sudario :

 21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.
timui enim te, quia homo austerus es : tollis quod non posuisti, et metis quod non seminasti.

 22 He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:
Dicit ei : De ore tuo te judico, serve nequam. Sciebas quod ego homo austerus sum, tollens quod non posui, et metens quod non seminavi :

 23 And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?
et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam, ut ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illam?

 24 And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
Et astantibus dixit : Auferte ab illo mnam, et date illi qui decem mnas habet.

 25 And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.
Et dixerunt ei : Domine, habet decem mnas.

 26 But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.
Dico autem vobis, quia omni habenti dabitur, et abundabit : ab eo autem qui non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.

He was given the baptismal name of the first martyr Stephen when his mother had a dream that he would convert Hungary, whose first king he became when the Pope had raised the country into a kingdom. Having married the sister of Emperor St Henry, he surrounded himself, to govern his kingdom with men of tried holiness and prudence. He passed entire nights in contemplation of heavenly things, practiced great austerities, gave abundant alms to widows and churches.

He built a large basilica in honor of Mary, whom he proclaimed patroness of Hungary. He died in 1038 on the "Day of the Great Lady", as the feast of the Assumption was called by the Hungarians, in virtue of an edict of the holy king.

Luke 17:11-19

And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
Et factum est, dum iret in Jerusalem, transibat per mediam Samariam et Galilaeam.

 12 And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;
Et cum ingrederetur quoddam castellum, occurrerunt ei decem viri leprosi, qui steterunt a longe :

 13 And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.
et levaverunt vocem, dicentes : Jesu praeceptor, miserere nostri.

 14 Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.
Quos ut vidit, dixit : Ite, ostendite vos sacerdotibus. Et factum est, dum irent, mundati sunt.

 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.
Unus autem ex illis, ut vidit quia mundatus est, regressus est, cum magna voce magnificans Deum,

 16 And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.
et cecidit in faciem ante pedes ejus, gratias agens : et hic erat Samaritanus.

 17 And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?
Respondens autem Jesus, dixit : Nonne decem mundati sunt? et novem ubi sunt?

 18 There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.
Non est inventus qui rediret, et daret gloriam Deo, nisi hic alienigena.

 19 And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
Et ait illi : Surge, vade : quia fides tua te salvum fecit.

And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.
Factum est autem, cum haec diceret : extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi : Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti.

 28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.
At ille dixit : Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.

He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Dixit ergo : Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum, et reverti.

 13 And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.

et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam, ut ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illam?

 25 And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.
Et dixerunt ei : Domine, habet decem mnas.

 26 But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.
Dico autem vobis, quia omni habenti dabitur, et abundabit : ab eo autem qui non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
