Letter to the Romans

Brothers and sisters: I am not ashamed of the Gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: for Jew first, and then Greek.
For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live."
The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them.
Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse;
for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.
While claiming to be wise, they became fools
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies.
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Psalms

The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
Day pours out the word to day,
and night to night imparts knowledge.
Not a word nor a discourse
whose voice is not heard;
Through all the earth their voice resounds,
and to the ends of the world, their message.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

After Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat.
The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal.
The Lord said to him, "Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil.
You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?
But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you."

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.
