Letter to the Ephesians

Brothers and sisters, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones,
do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.
May the eyes of (your) hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones,
and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might,
which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens,
far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.
And he put all things beneath his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,
which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in every way.

Psalms

O LORD, our LORD,
How glorious is your name over all the earth!
You have exalted your majesty above the heavens.
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
You have fashioned praise because of your foes.
When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers,
The moon and the stars which you set in place?
What is man that you should be mindful of him,
or the son of man that you should care for him?
You have made him little less than the angels,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him rule over the works of your hands,
putting all things under his feet.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

Jesus said to his disciples: "I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God.
But whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God.
Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say.
For the holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say."

St. Teresa of Jesus(Virgin and Doctor of the Church (1515-1582) - Memorial)

SAINT TERESA OF JESUSVirgin and Doctor of the Church(1515-1582) St. Teresa was born at Avila, Spain, in 1515. When she was 7, she ran away from home in hope of being martyred by the Moors. Being brought back and asked her reason for leaving, she replied, "I want to see God, and I must die before I can see Him." Later, she built a hermitage in the garden with her brother. Some years later, St. Teresa became a Carmelite nun. Frivolous conversations checked her progress towards perfection, but at last, in her thirty-first year, she gave herself wholly to God. A vision showed her the very place in hell to which her faults would have led her, and she lived afterward in distrust of self and total trust in God. She reformed her Order, was favored with distinct commands from Our Lord, and her heart was pierced with divine love. She was perpetually vigilant against delusion, and to the last acted in obedience to her confessors. She passed away on October 4, 1582. She was canonized on April 24, 1614, for heroic virtues and the miracles proceeding from her intercession.
