Tuesday of the Thirteenth week in Ordinary Time

Book of Amos

3,1-8.4,11-12.

Hear this word, O children of Israel, that the LORD pronounces over you, over the whole family that I brought up from the land of Egypt:
You alone have I favored, more than all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your crimes.
Do two walk together unless they have agreed?
Does a lion roar in the forest when it has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from its den unless it has seized something?
Is a bird brought to earth by a snare when there is no lure for it? Does a snare spring up from the ground without catching anything?
If the trumpet sounds in a city, will the people not be frightened? If evil befalls a city, has not the LORD caused it?
Indeed, the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets.
The lion roars-- who will not be afraid! The Lord GOD speaks-- who will not prophesy!
I brought upon you such upheaval as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah: you were like a brand plucked from the fire; Yet you returned not to me, says the LORD.
So now I will deal with you in my own way, O Israel! and since I will deal thus with you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel:

Psalms

5,5-6.7.8.

For you, O God, delight not in wickedness;
No evil man remains with you;
The arrogant may not stand in your sight.
You hate all evildoers.
You destroy all who speak falsehood;
the bloodthirsty and the deceitful
the LORD abhors.
But I can enter your house because of your great love.
I can worship in your holy temple
because of my reverence for you, LORD.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

8,23-27.

As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep.
They came and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!"
He said to them, "Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.
The men were amazed and said, "What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?"

St. Irenaeus(Bishop and Martyr (+ 202) - Memorial)

SAINT IRENÆUSBishop and Martyr (+ 202) St. Irenæus was born about the year 120. He was a Grecian, probably a native of Asia Minor. For education, his Christian parents placed him under the care of the great St. Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna. In this school, he learned theology and became a champion of faith against heresies. St. Polycarp cultivated Irenæus' intellect and formed his mind through teaching and example. Irenæus highly esteemed his tutor and emulated every action. He listened to Polycarp's instructions with curiosity and intent, engraving the latter's character upon his heart, so the impressions remained lively even to old age. In order to confute heresies, Irenæus made himself acquainted with the conceits of philosophers, tracing their mood as the source of error and setting it in full light. In due time, Bp. Polycarp sent Irenæus to Gaul accompanied by a priest. Soon after, Irenæus was ordained to the priesthood by St. Pothinus in the Church of Lyons. After St. Pothinus passed away in 177, Irenæus was consecrated the second Bishop of Lyons. Through works and preaching, Bp. Irenæus converted almost the whole country in a short time. Bp. Irenæus wrote several works against heresy. He andmany others suffered martyrdom in Lyons about the year 202 under the Emperor Severus.
