Friday of the Thirty-second week in Ordinary Time

Second Letter of John

(Chosen Lady) I rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth just as we were commanded by the Father.
But now, Lady, I ask you, not as though I were writing a new commandment but the one we have had from the beginning: let us love one another.
For this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, as you heard from the beginning, in which you should walk.
Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh; such is the deceitful one and the antichrist.
Look to yourselves that you do not lose what we worked for but may receive a full recompense.
Anyone who is so "progressive" as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son.

Psalms

Blessed are they whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the LORD.
Blessed are they who observe his decrees,
Who seek him with all their heart.
With all my heart I seek you;
let me not stray from your commands.
Within my heart I treasure your promise,
That I may not sin against you.
Be good to your servant, that I may live
And keep your words.
Open my eyes, that I may consider
the wonders of your law.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

Jesus said to his disciples: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man;
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Similarly, as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;
on the day when Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from the sky to destroy them all.
So it will be on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
On that day, a person who is on the housetop and whose belongings are in the house must not go down to get them, and likewise a person in the field must not return to what was left behind.
Remember the wife of Lot.
Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it.
I tell you, on that night there will be two people in one bed; one will be taken, the other left.
And there will be two women grinding meal together; one will be taken, the other left."
They said to him in reply, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the body is, there also the vultures will gather."

St. Martin of Tours(Bishop († 397) - Memorial)

SAINT MARTIN OF TOURSBishop ( 397) When he was a boy, Martin became a Christian catechumen against his parents' wishes; and at 15 was seized by his father, a pagan soldier, and enrolled in the army. One winter's day, when stationed at Amiens, he met a beggar almost naked and frozen with cold. Having no money, he cut his cloak in two and gave him the half. That night he saw our Lord clothed in the half cloak, and heard Him say to the angels: "Martin, yet a catechumen, hath wrapped Me in this garment." This made Martin receive baptism and later leave the army. Martin succeeded in converting his mother, but being driven from his home by the Arians, he took shelter with St. Hilary. Together, they founded the first monastery in France near Poitiers. In 372, Martin was made Bishop of Tours. His flock, though Christian in name, was unconverted at heart. Unarmed and attended only by his monks, Bp. Martin destroyed the pagan temples and groves, and completed by his preaching and miracles the conversion of the people. St. Martin is thus known as the Apostle of Gaul. Bp. Martin's last eleven years were spent in humble toil. The purity of his soul was manifested by God through many miracles.
