Monday of the Eleventh week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Second Letter to the Corinthians

6,1-10.

]Brothers and sisters: As your fellow workers, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
]For he says: "In an acceptable time I heard you, and on the day of salvation I helped you." Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
]We cause no one to stumble in anything, in order that no fault may be found with our ministry;
]on the contrary, in everything we commend ourselves as ministers of God, through much endurance, in afflictions, hardships, constraints,
]beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, vigils, fasts;
]by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, in a holy spirit, in unfeigned love,
]in truthful speech, in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness at the right and at the left;
]through glory and dishonor, insult and praise. We are treated as deceivers and yet are truthful;
]as unrecognized and yet acknowledged; as dying and behold we live; as chastised and yet not put to death;
]as sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

Psalm

Psalms

98(97),1.2-3ab.3cd-4.

]Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
]The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
]He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
]toward the house of Israel.
]All the ends of the earth have seen
]the salvation by our God.
]Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

5,38-42.

]Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
]But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on (your) right cheek, turn the other one to him as well.
]If anyone wants to go to law with you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well.
]Should anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles.
]Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow."

St. Herve(Abbot (6th century))

Saint Herve of BrittanyAbbot(6th century) Saint Herve, sometimes called Harvey or Hervues, is venerated throughout Brittany, northwestern France. We have few accounts of him because his life was not written until the late medieval period. What is certain is that he was a hermit in Brittany, where he is still venerated. St. Herve was the bard Hyvarnion's son and was born blind. When his father died, his mother became an achoress. St. Herve was raised by his uncles and lived for a while as a hermit and a bard. He then joined a monastic school in Plouvien founded by his uncle. After becoming the abbot of Plouvien, he built an abbey in Lanhourneau. St. Herve is venerated as a miracle worker. He kept a domesticated wolf as a companion and had a special ministry of healing animals.He is invoked against eye trouble and is often depicted alongside a wolf.

St. Avitus(Abbot (6th century))

SAINT AVITUSAbbot St. Avitus was a native of Orleans, north-central France. Together with St. Calais, he took the monastic habit at the abbey of Menat in Auvergne. The small abbey was later endowed by Queen Brunehault and St. Boner, the bishop of Clermont. Sts. Avitus and Calais later returned to Miscy, a league and a half below Orleans. They stayed at an abbey founded by St. Euspicius, a holy priest, and his nephew, St. Maximin or Mesnim. St. Avitus was the abbey's third abbot. Currently, the abbey is named after St. Maximin and is administered by the Cistercians. Sts. Avitus and Calais later retired to Dunois on the frontiers of La Perche. When others joined them, St. Calais retired to a forest in Maine. Later on, King Clotaire built a church and a monastery for St. Avitus and his companions. The monastery is now a Benedictine convent called St. Avy of Chateaudun in the diocese of Chartres. It is situated on the Loire, at the foot of a hill on which the town of Chateaudun is built. Leobin, Euphronius and Rusticus attended St. Avitus to his happy death around the year 530. His body was reverently interred in Orleans.
