Monday of the Thirteenth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Book of Amos

2,6-10.13-16.

]Thus says the LORD: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke my word; Because they sell the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of sandals.
]They trample the heads of the weak into the dust of the earth, and force the lowly out of the way. Son and father go to the same prostitute, profaning my holy name.
]Upon garments taken in pledge they recline beside any altar; And the wine of those who have been fined they drink in the house of their god.
]Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorites before them, who were as tall as the cedars, and as strong as the oak trees. I destroyed their fruit above, and their roots beneath.
]It was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt, and who led you through the desert for forty years, to occupy the land of the Amorites:
]Beware, I will crush you into the ground as a wagon crushes when laden with sheaves.
]Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong man shall not retain his strength; The warrior shall not save his life,
]nor the bowman stand his ground; The swift of foot shall not escape, nor the horseman save his life.
]And the most stouthearted of warriors shall flee naked on that day, says the LORD.

Psalm

Psalms

50(49),16bc-17.18-19.20-21.22-23.

]"Why do you recite my statutes,
]and profess my covenant with your mouth,
]Though you hate discipline
and cast my words behind you?"
]"When you see a thief, you keep pace with him,
and with adulterers you throw in your lot.
]To your mouth you give free rein for evil,
you harness your tongue to deceit."
]"You sit speaking against your brother;
against your mother's son you spread rumors.
]"When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it?
Or do you think that I am like yourself?
I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes.  
]"Consider this, you who forget God,
lest I rend you and there be no one to rescue you.  
]He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me;
and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

8,18-22.

]When Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side.
]A scribe approached and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
]Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head."
]Another of (his) disciples said to him, "Lord, let me go first and bury my father."
]But Jesus answered him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead."

St. Bernardino Realino(Priest (1530-1616))

SAINT BERNARDINO REALINOPriest(1530-1616) St. Bernardino Realino was born to a ruling family in Capri, Italy. He studied medicine at the University of Bologna before receiving a doctorate in law in 1556. He worked as a judge, magistrate and tax collector before managing the estates of the governor of Milan. After receiving the sacrament of reconciliation, the Jesuit priest who heard his confession invited him to a spiritual retreat. There, he discerned a vocation and generously gave himself to the service of the Church. Bernardino joined the Society of Jesus in 1564 after Our Lady appeared to him. He was ordained in 1567 and served the Neapolitan youth and poor for three years. Later, he was sent to Lecce, where he remained for 42 years. He was a confessor, preacher and teacher. He also took up missions for the sick and the poor. He was the rector of the Jesuit college in Lecce and the superior of the Community. In 1616, as Bernardino lay on his death bed, the city's magistrates asked him to take their city under his protection. Unable to speak, he bowed his head. With his last breath, he said the names, "Gesù ... Maria." OnJune 22, 1947, he was canonized after several miracles attributed to his intercession. St. Bernardino's relics are enshrined at the Chiesa del Gesù in Lecce.
