1 Maccabees 12:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ Chose rather to send to you to renew the brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers to you altogether: for there is a long time passed since you sent to us.

¹¹ We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our festivals, and other days, wherein it is convenient, remember you in the sacrifices that we offer, and in our observances, as it is meet, and becoming to remember brethren.

¹² And we rejoice at your glory.
