Wednesday of the Twenty-eighth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Letter to the Galatians

5,18-25.

]Brothers and sisters: If you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
]Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness,
]idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions,
]occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
]In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
]Now those who belong to Christ (Jesus) have crucified their flesh with its passions and desires.
]If we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the Spirit.

Psalm

Psalms

1,1-2.3.4.6.

]Blessed the man who follows not
the counsel of the wicked
Nor walks in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the company of the insolent,
]But delights in the law of the LORD
and meditates on his law day and night.
]He is like a tree
planted near running water,
that yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers.
]Not so, the wicked, not so;
they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
]For the LORD watches over the way of the just,
but the way of the wicked vanishes.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

11,42-46.

]The Lord said: "Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others.
]Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces.
]Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk."
]Then one of the scholars of the law said to him in reply, "Teacher, by saying this you are insulting us too."
]And he said, "Woe also to you scholars of the law! You impose on people burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not lift one finger to touch them."

St. Wilfrid(Bishop (c. 634-709))

SAINT WILFRID Bishop (c. 634-709) St. Wilfrid was a quick walker, (and) expert at all good works, with never a sour face. He was trained by Celtic monks in Lindisfarne in the rites of the British Church. He longed for conformity with the Holy See and at first chance set out for Rome. Upon his return, he governed a monastery in Ripon under the rule of St. Benedict. In 664, St. Wilfrid was consecrated Bishop of Lindisfarne. Five years later, he was transferred to the see of York. He contended with the passions of wicked kings, the cowardice of worldly prelates and the errors of holy men. His authority was usurped and his see partitioned several times. For attempting to liberate the Church, he was twice exiled and once imprisoned. St. Wilfrid made the Church system universal rather than nationalistic. He experienced moral pain and extreme hardship, but acted like Jesus in everything. He was called to Heaven onOctober 12, 709.
