1. Reading

Book of Jeremiah

18,1-6.

]This word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
]Rise up, be off to the potter's house; there I will give you my message.
]I went down to the potter's house and there he was, working at the wheel.
]Whenever the object of clay which he was making turned out badly in his hand, he tried again, making of the clay another object of whatever sort he pleased.
]Then the word of the Lord came to me:
]Can I not do to you, house of Israel, as this potter has done? says the LORD. Indeed, like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.

Psalm

Psalms

146(145),1b-2.3-4.5-6ab.

]Praise the LORD, O my soul;
]I will praise the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God while I live. 
]Put not your trust in princes,
in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.
]When his spirit departs he returns to his earth;
on that day his plans perish.
]Blessed he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD, his God,
]Who made heaven and earth,
]the sea and all that is in them.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

13,47-53.

]Jesus said to the disciples: “The Kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind.
]When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away.
]Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous
]and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
]Do you understand all these things? They answered, "Yes."
]And he replied, "Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old."
]When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there.

St. Eusebius of Vercelli(Bishop († 371))

SAINT EUSEBIUS Bishop( 371) St. Eusebius was from a noble family in Sardinia. When his father was martyred in prison, his mother carried him and his infant sister to Rome. After being ordained, Eusebius served the Church of Vercelli. When the episcopal chair became vacant, he was unanimously elected bishop. He saw that the best way to edify and sanctify the church was through a zealous clergy. Bp. Eusebius contended with heretics in defense of the unadulterated Faith. In retaliation, they had him banished to Scythopolis and afterward to Upper Thebais in Egypt. Amidst his trails, Bp. Eusebius constantly appealed to the Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary. He won, in some of the panegyrics, the title of martyr.
