Wednesday of the Thirty-fourth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Book of Revelation

15,1-4.

]I, John, saw in heaven another sign, great and awe-inspiring: seven angels with the seven last plagues, for through them God's fury is accomplished.
]Then I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire. On the sea of glass were standing those who had won the victory over the beast and its image and the number that signified its name. They were holding God's harps,
]and they sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Great and wonderful are your works, Lord God almighty. Just and true are your ways, O king of the nations.
]Who will not fear you, Lord, or glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."

Psalm

Psalms

98(97),1.2-3ab.7-8.9.

]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.
]Let the sea and what fills it resound,
the world and those who dwell in it;
]Let the rivers clap their hands,
The mountains shout with them for joy before the LORD.
]The LORD comes,
He comes to rule the earth;
He will rule the world with justice
And the peoples with equity.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

21,12-19.

]Jesus said to the crowd: “They will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name.
]It will lead to your giving testimony.
]Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,
]for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.
]You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death.
]You will be hated by all because of my name,
]but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.
]By your perseverance you will secure your lives."

St. James of the Marches(Franciscan Priest (1394-1476))

SAINT JAMES OF THE MARCHES OF ANCONAFranciscan Priest (1394-1476) St. James was born in the small town of Montbrandon, March of Ancona, Italy. As a youth, he was sent to the University of Perugia. He formed virtuous friendships and avoided occasions of sin. He earned a doctorate in canon and civil law and tutored nobles in Florence. While travelling near Assisium, St. James visited the great Church of the Portiuncula. He witnessed the fervor of St. Francis' brothers, petitioned for their habit and became a Franciscan. He preached in central, northern and eastern Europe, condemned a heretical Franciscan sect and exposed further heresies in Bosnia. While preaching, he wrought miracles in Venice and elsewhere and cured the duke of Calabria and the king of Naples from dangerous illnesses. He also strove to restore communion between Hungarian Hussites, Eastern Orthodox Churches and Rome. St. James was true to his Franciscan calling and declined the Archbishopic of Milan. He corresponded with his long-time friend St. John of Capistrano. The latter led a successful crusade against the jihad of Ottomon Turks in Belgrade. St. James became his friend's successor in Hungary, continued reforming Franciscan communities and founded nonprofit credit unions to support the Church's ongoing defense of Western Civilization. St. James passed away at the convent of the Holy Trinity, near Naples, on November 28, 1476. He was 90 years old and had served the Church as a religious for seventy years. When his remains were transferred to Monteprandone in 2001, his body was found uncorrupted. He is the patron saint of Monteprandone and co-patron of Naples.
