1 Maccabees 12:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

¹³ But we have had many troubles and wars on every side, and the kings that are round about us, have fought against us.
