Thursday of the Thirty-second week in Ordinary Time

Thursday of the Thirty-second week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Book of Wisdom

7,22-30.8,1.

]In Wisdom is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique, Manifold, subtle, agile, clear, unstained, certain, Not baneful, loving the good, keen, unhampered, beneficent,
]kindly, Firm, secure, tranquil, all-powerful, all-seeing, And pervading all spirits, though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.
]For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion, and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity.
]For she is an aura of the might of God and a pure effusion of the glory of the Almighty; therefore nought that is sullied enters into her.
]For she is the refulgence of eternal light, the spotless mirror of the power of God, the image of his goodness.
]And she, who is one, can do all things, and renews everything while herself perduring; And passing into holy souls from age to age, she produces friends of God and prophets.
]For there is nought God loves, be it not one who dwells with Wisdom.
]For she is fairer than the sun and surpasses every constellation of the stars. Compared to light, she takes precedence;
]for that, indeed, night supplants, but wickedness prevails not over Wisdom.
]Indeed, she reaches from end to end mightily and governs all things well.

Psalm

Psalms

119(118),89.90.91.130.135.175.

]Your word, O LORD, endures forever;
it is firm as the heavens.
]Through all generations your truth endures;
you have established the earth, and it stands firm.
]According to your ordinances they still stand firm:
all things serve you.
]The revelation of your words sheds light,
giving understanding to the simple.
]Let your countenance shine upon your servant,
and teach me your statutes.
]Let my soul live to praise you,
and may your ordinances help me.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

17,20-25.

]Asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said in reply, “The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed,
]and no one will announce, 'Look, here it is,' or, 'There it is.' For behold, the kingdom of God is among you."
]Then he said to his disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
]There will be those who will say to you, 'Look, there he is,' (or) 'Look, here he is.' Do not go off, do not run in pursuit.
]For just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be (in his day).
]But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation."

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.
