Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

1st book of Kings

17,17-24.

]Elijah went to Zarephath of Sidon to the house of a widow. The son of the mistress of the house fell sick, and his sickness grew more severe until he stopped breathing.
]So she said to Elijah, "Why have you done this to me, O man of God? Have you come to me to call attention to my guilt and to kill my son?"
]"Give me your son," Elijah said to her. Taking him from her lap, he carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
]He called out to the LORD: "O LORD, my God, will you afflict even the widow with whom I am staying by killing her son?"
]Then he stretched himself out upon the child three times and called out to the LORD: "O LORD, my God, let the life breath return to the body of this child."
]The LORD heard the prayer of Elijah; the life breath returned to the child's body and he revived.
]Taking the child, Elijah brought him down into the house from the upper room and gave him to his mother. "See!" Elijah said to her, "your son is alive."
]"Now indeed I know that you you are a man of God," the woman replied to Elijah. "The word of the LORD comes truly from your mouth."

Psalm

Psalms

30(29),2.4.5-6.11.12a.13b.

]I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear
and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
]O LORD, you brought me up from the nether world;
you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.
]Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
]For his anger lasts but a moment;
a lifetime, his good will.
]At nightfall, weeping enters in,
but with the dawn, rejoicing.
]Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
O LORD, be my helper.”
]You changed my mourning into dancing;
O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.

2. Reading

Letter to the Galatians

1,11-19.

]I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin.
]For I did not receive it from a human being, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
]For you heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it,
]and progressed in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my race, since I was even more a zealot for my ancestral traditions.
]But when (God), who from my mother's womb had set me apart and called me through his grace, was pleased
]to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him to the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult flesh and blood,
]nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; rather, I went into Arabia and then returned to Damascus.
]Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to confer with Kephas and remained with him for fifteen days.
]But I did not see any other of the apostles, only James the brother of the Lord.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

7,11-17.

]Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.
]As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.
]When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep."
]He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"
]The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
]Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people."
]This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

St. Boniface(Bishop and Martyr († 754) - Memorial)

ST. BONIFACEBishop and Martyr( 754) St. Boniface was born in Crediton, Devonshire, England, around 673. He was inspired by missionaries staying at his father's house and later entered the Exminster monastery. After failing to convert the pagans in Holland, he went to Rome and obtained the Pope's blessing. He returned with papal authority and evangelized Germanic tribes. Evangelization was perilous. St. Boniface's flock was often reduced to abject poverty by wandering robber bands. He started in Bavaria and Thuringia and continued in Friesland, Hesse and Saxony. He demolished pagan temples and raised churches on their sites. St. Boniface endeavored to make every object of idolatry contribute to the glory of God. On one occasion, an oak tree used for rituals to Jupiter was used to build a church dedicated to the Prince of the Apostles. St. Boniface was later recalled to Rome and consecrated bishop. He returned to organize the German Church, reform the clergy and established communities. At length, feeling his infirmities increase, St. Boniface appointed a successor to his monastery and set out to convert another pagan tribe. While waiting to administer the sacrament of confirmation to some newly-baptized Christians, a pagan group fell upon him with swords and spears. He and fifty-two companions were massacred - gaining martyrs crowns and reigning with Jesus Christ forever.
