Wednesday of the Thirty-second week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Letter to Titus

3,1-7.

]Beloved: Remind them to be under the control of magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be open to every good enterprise.
]They are to slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate, exercising all graciousness toward everyone.
]For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deluded, slaves to various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful ourselves and hating one another.
]But when the kindness and generous love of God our savior appeared,
]not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit,
]whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior,
]so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.

Psalm

Psalms

23(22),1-3a.3b-4.5.6.

]The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
]In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
beside restful waters he leads me;
]he refreshes my soul. 
]He guides me in right paths
for His names's sake.
]Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil; for you are at my side
with your rod and your staff
that give me courage.
]You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
]Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

17,11-19.

]As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
]As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him
]and raised their voice, saying, "Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!"
]And when he saw them, he said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." As they were going they were cleansed.
]And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;
]and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan.
]Jesus said in reply, "Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?
]Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?"
]Then he said to him, "Stand up and go; your faith has saved you."

St. Lawrence O'Toole(Archbishop of Dublin (c. 1125-1180))

SAINT LAWRENCE O'TOOLE Archbishop of Dublin (c. 1125-1180) St. Lawrence was born circa 1125. At 10 years old, his father delivered him as a hostage to the king of Leinster, Dermod Mac Murchad. St. Lawrence was maltreated; and was soon transferred to the bishop of Glendalough in the county of Wicklow. When the bishop who also served as abbot passed away, St. Lawrence succeeded him. At 25 years old, St. Lawrence governed the monastic community virtuously and prudently. In 1161, he was unanimously chosen to fill the new metropolitan see of Dublin. Around 1171, St. Lawrence visited King Henry II in Canterbury and was received by the Benedictine monks of Christ Church. The following day, while walking to the altar, a maniac struck him on the head. Everyone thought he was mortally wounded; but to their astonishment, he came to himself, blessed some water and washed the wound. Immediately, the blood was stanched and he celebrated Mass. Like every saint who chose Christ over human respect, St. Lawrence overcame setbacks and opposition. In response to clerical abuses, he sacked over 150 churchmen. When Henry II of England became infuriated with Ireland's monarch Roderic in 1175, St. Lawrence negotiated their reconciliation. King Henry was so moved by St. Lawrence that he left the entire matter to the Archbishop's discretion. St. Lawrence passed away on November 14, 1180. His relics are enshrined at the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Laurent d'Eu, while his heart remains in Dublin's Christ Church Cathedral. He is the patron saint of the Archdiocese of Dublin.
