While we have opportunity to be healed let[*](Call to repentance) us give ourselves to God, who heals us, giving him his recompense.

What recompense? Repentance from a sincere heart.

For he has knowledge of all things beforehand, and knows the things in our hearts.

Let us then give him praise, not only with our mouth, but also from our heart, that he may receive us as sons.

For the Lord said My brethren are these who do the will of my Father.
