Wednesday of the Twenty-seventh week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Letter to the Galatians

2,1-2.7-14.

]Brothers and sisters: After fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.
]I went up in accord with a revelation, and I presented to them the gospel that I preach to the Gentiles--but privately to those of repute--so that I might not be running, or have run, in vain.
]On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter to the circumcised,
]for the one who worked in Peter for an apostolate to the circumcised worked also in me for the Gentiles,
]and when they recognized the grace bestowed upon me, James and Kephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas their right hands in partnership, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
]Only, we were to be mindful of the poor, which is the very thing I was eager to do.
]And when Kephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he clearly was wrong.
]For, until some people came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and separated himself, because he was afraid of the circumcised.
]And the rest of the Jews (also) acted hypocritically along with him, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.
]But when I saw that they were not on the right road in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Kephas in front of all, "If you, though a Jew, are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

Psalm

Psalms

117(116),1.2.

]Praise the LORD, all you nations;
glorify him, all you peoples!
]For steadfast is his kindness for us,
and the fidelity of the LORD endures forever.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

11,1-4.

]Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."
]He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
]Give us each day our daily bread
]and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test."

St. Francis Borgia(Priest (1510-1572))

SAINT FRANCIS BORGIAPriest (1510-1572) St. Francis Borgia was the duke of Gandia and captain-general of Catalonia. He had a burgeoning career when, in 1539, he escorted the remains of Queen Isabella to Granada's royal cemetery. When the coffin was opened, he was taken aback: he apprehended both spiritual decay and true death, and left seeking the person of God. Some time passed before St. Francis followed God's calling. He then joined the Society of Jesus to cut himself off from any chance of dignity or preferment. However, the Jesuits made him their superior general. When the Ottoman Empire threatened Christendom, St. Pius V sent his nephew to rally Christian princes into a league. The Pope chose St. Francis to accompany him, and although overworked, the Saint obeyed at once. Thanks to their efforts and the alliance of Spanish, Italian, Sicilian, Sardinian and Maltese forces, the Ottoman navy was stopped at the Battle of Lepanto and twelve thousand Christian slaves were freed from Ottoman galleys. The fatigues of the embassy exhausted St. Francis and he passed away during a return to Rome on October 10, 1572. His sacrifices and those of countless others helped stop the invasion of Europe and ensured our freedom forever.
