Wednesday of the Nineteenth week in Ordinary Time

Book of Deuteronomy

Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, the headland of Pisgah which faces Jericho, and the LORD showed him all the land-Gilead, and as far as Dan,
all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,
the Negeb, the circuit of the Jordan with the lowlands at Jericho, city of palms, and as far as Zoar.
The LORD then said to him, "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that I would give to their descendants. I have let you feast your eyes upon it, but you shall not cross over."
So there, in the land of Moab, Moses, the servant of the LORD, died as the LORD had said;
and he was buried in the ravine opposite Beth-peor in the land of Moab, but to this day no one knows the place of his burial.
Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated.
For thirty days the Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab, till they had completed the period of grief and mourning for Moses.
Now Joshua, son of Nun, was filled with the spirit of wisdom, since Moses had laid his hands upon him; and so the Israelites gave him their obedience, thus carrying out the LORD'S command to Moses.
Since then no prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.
He had no equal in all the signs and wonders the LORD sent him to perform in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh and all his servants and against all his land,
and for the might and the terrifying power that Moses exhibited in the sight of all Israel.

Psalms

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth,
sing praise to the glory of his name;
proclaim his glorious praise.
Say to God, “How tremendous are your deeds!”
Come and see the works of God,
his tremendous deeds among the children of Adam.
Bless our God, you peoples;
loudly sound his praise,
Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare
what he has done for me.
When I appealed to him in words,
praise was on the tip of my tongue.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

Jesus said to his disciples: "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.
If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that 'every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.'
If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.
Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Again, (amen,) I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

St. Radegundes(Queen of France (519-587))

SAINT RADEGUNDESQueen of France(519-587) St. Radegundes was the daughter of a Thuringian king who was assassinated by his brother. When war ensued, our Saint, at 12 years old, was captured by King Clotaire of Soissons. He had her catechized and baptized. The great mysteries of Faith made such an impression on her tender soul that she gave her whole heart to God and desired to become a religious. However, she acceded to the king's insistence and became his wife. Radegundes was ever-aware that sloth and vanity are obstacles to holiness. She divided her time between her oratory, the Church and caring for the poor. She regularly fasted, and she wore a hair-cloth under her rich garments during Lent. King Clotaire was at first pleased, but later reproached her for exercising piety, saying that he had married a nun instead of a queen, who had converted his court into a monastery. When Clotaire assassinated Redegundes' brother, she obtained leave from court and retired to Noyon, where she was consecrated deaconess by St. Medard. Radegundes went to Sais and later to Poitiers, where she built a great monastery. She had a holy virgin named Agnes appointed as its abbess and was obedient to the latter. King Clotaire repented of his evil conduct and asked her to return, but through St. Germanus of Paris' intercession, she remained. She passed away on August 13, 587, and joined the Church triumphant in Heaven.
