Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John

18,33b-37.

]Pilate said to Jesus, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
]Jesus answered, "Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?"
]Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?"
]Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants (would) be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here."
]So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

St. Catherine of Alexandria(Virgin and Martyr († c. 307))

SAINT CATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA Virgin and Martyr ( c. 307) St. Catherine was a noblewoman from Alexandria. Before her baptism, she had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary asking Jesus to receive her among God's servants. After her baptism, she had a vision of Jesus welcoming her into heaven. When the tyrant Maximin II came to Alexandria, he met St. Catherine. He became infatuated with her, but she refused him. His pride wounded, he condemned St. Catherine to be stripped and scourged. When St. Catherine fled to the Arabian mountains, soldiers overtook her. According to tradition, she prayed before dying that no man would see or touch her body. Angels thus carried her remains to a holy grave on Mount Sinai.
