Tuesday of the Eighth week in Ordinary Time

First Letter of Peter

1,10-16.

Beloved: Concerning this salvation, prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and investigated it,
investigating the time and circumstances that the Spirit of Christ within them indicated when it testified in advance to the sufferings destined for Christ and the glories to follow them.
It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you with regard to the things that have now been announced to you by those who preached the good news to you (through) the holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels longed to look.
Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, live soberly, and set your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."

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.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark

10,28-31.

Peter began to say to Jesus, "We have given up everything and followed you."
Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel
who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come."
But many that are first will be last, and (the) last will be first."

St. Albinus(Bishop (+ 550))

SAINT ALBINUSBishop(469- 550) St. Albinus descended from a noble family in Brittany. He was fervent in every exercise of piety, which testified to the love of his parents.Having embraced the monastic state at Tintillant near Angers, he was a model of virtue, relying upon the will of God rather than his own. At the age of thirty-five, he was appointed abbot; and twenty-five years afterwards, Bishop of Angers. He restored discipline in the Church. "His disciples remembered ... 'Zeal for your house will consume me'" (Jn. 2:17, Ps. 69:9). Bp. Albinus' mortifications of the flesh and constant recollection of soul disposed his spirit to the will of the Divine.Powerful in works and miracles, Bp. Albinus looked upon himself as an "unprofitable servant" (Lk. 17:10). In the third Council of Orleans, in 538, he procured the revival of the thirtieth canon of the Council of Epaone; excommunicating those who contract incestuous marriages in the first or second degree of consanguinity.

St. David(Bishop (+ 561))

---

SAINT DAVIDBishop(+ 561) St. David, son of Sant, Prince of Cardigan and of Non, was born in Wales in the fifth century. From his earliest years and beginning the age of reason, he gave himself wholly to the service of God.St. David began his religious life under St. Paulinus, a disciple of St. Germanus, Bishop of Auxerre, who Pope St. Celestine sent to Britain to stop Pelagius' heresy. When the heresy reappeared in the beginning of the sixth century, the bishops assembled at Brevi. Unable to address the people who came to hear the word of truth, they sent for St. David from his cell to preach to them. The Saint came, and it is related that, as he preached, the ground beneath his feet rose and became a hill, so that he was heard by an innumerable crowd. The heresy fell under the sword of the Spirit, and the Saint was elected Bishop of Caerleon on the resignation of St. Dubricius. St. David founded twelve monasteries and governed his Church according to the canons sanctioned in Rome.At last, when about eighty years of age, he laid himself down, knowing that his hour had come. As his agony closed, our Lord stood before him in a vision, and the Saint cried out: "Take me up with Thee," and so gave up his soul on Tuesday, March 1, 561.
