Letter to the Galatians

Brothers and sisters: It is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the freeborn woman.
The son of the slave woman was born naturally, the son of the freeborn through a promise.
Now this is an allegory. These women represent two covenants. One was from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; this is Hagar.
But the Jerusalem above is freeborn, and she is our mother.
For it is written: "Rejoice, you barren one who bore no children; break forth and shout, you who were not in labor; for more numerous are the children of the deserted one than of her who has a husband."
Therefore, brothers, we are children not of the slave woman but of the freeborn woman.
For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

Psalms

Praise, you servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
Blessed be the name of the LORD
both now and forever.
From the rising to the setting of the sun
is the name of the LORD to be praised.
High above all nations is the LORD;
above the heavens is his glory.
Who is like the LORD, our God,
who looks upon the heavens and the earth below?
He raises up the lowly from the dust;
from the dunghill he lifts up the poor.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, "This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here.
At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here."

St. Callistus I(Pope and Martyr († c. 222))

SAINT CALLISTUS I Pope Martyr( c. 222) Pope Callistus succeeded Pope Zephyrinus in 217 after the latter passed away. Pior, he was a deacon who helped maintain Rome's Christian cemeteries. He had worked closely with Pope Zephyrinus and was entrusted with leading the clergy. During Emperor Severus' persecution, Pope Callistus was forced to take shelter in the poor and populous quarters of the city. In spite of troubles and caring for the Church, he made diligent search for the body of Calipodius: one of his clergy who was martyred by being drowned in the Tiber. When he found the body, he saw to its burial and sung hymns of praise. Pope Callistus was martyred around 222. The cemetery he maintained still stands and is called the Catacomb of St. Callistus.
