Catholic Missal of the day: Monday, June 20 2022
Monday of the Twelfth week in Ordinary Time
2nd book of Kings
17,5-8.13-15a.18.Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, occupied the whole land and attacked Samaria, which he besieged for three years.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and deported the Israelites to Assyria, settling them in Halah, at the Habor, a river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
This came about because the Israelites sinned against the LORD, their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt, from under the domination of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and because they venerated other gods.
They followed the rites of the nations whom the LORD had cleared out of the way of the Israelites (and the kings of Israel whom they set up).
And though the LORD warned Israel and Judah by every prophet and seer, "Give up your evil ways and keep my commandments and statutes, in accordance with the entire law which I enjoined on your fathers and which I sent you by my servants the prophets,"
they did not listen, but were as stiff-necked as their fathers, who had not believed in the LORD, their God.
They rejected his statutes, the covenant which he had made with their fathers, and the warnings which he had given them.
till, in his great anger against Israel, the LORD put them away out of his sight. Only the tribe of Judah was left.
Psalms
60(59),3.4-5.12-13.O God, you have rejected us and broken our defenses;
You have been angry; rally us!
You have rocked the country and split it open;
repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.
You have made your people feel hardships;
you have given us stupefying wine.
Have not you, O God, rejected us,
so that you go not forth, O God, with our armies?
Give us aid against the foe,
for worthless is the help of men.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew
7,1-5.Jesus said to his disciples: "Stop judging, that you may not be judged.
For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?
How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye?
You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye."
St. Silverius(Pope and Martyr, (+ 538))
SAINT SILVERIUSPope and Martyr(+538) St. Silverius was the son of Pope Hermisdas, who had been married before joining the priesthood. Upon the death of St. Agapetas, St. Silverius was elected Pope. When Empress Theodora ordered Pope Silverius to promote a shismatic sect, the Acephali, Silverius refused. In retaliation, Theodora sent Vigilius, an archdeacon, to depose the Pope. Vigilius paid a Roman general, Belisarius, to remove Pope Silverius and instate 3 schismatic Patriarchs: Anthimus of Constantinople, Severus of Antioch and Theodosius of Alexandria. Accused of treason and conspiring to aid the Goths, Pope Silverius was banished to Patara in Lycia. The bishop of that city, undertaking his defence, spoke boldly to the Emperor at Constantinople, "There are many kings in the world, but only one Pope over the Church of the whole world." Startled, Emperor Justinian ordered St. Silverius to be sent back to Rome. Pope Silverius' enemies conspired to prevent his rightful reinstatement. He was kidnapped on his way to Rome and abandoned on a desert island, where he died on June 20, 538.
St. Alban(Julius and Aaron)
