Letter to the Romans

You, O man, are without excuse, every one of you who passes judgment. For by the standard by which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the very same things.
We know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is true.
Do you suppose, then, you who judge those who engage in such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?
Or do you hold his priceless kindness, forbearance, and patience in low esteem, unaware that the kindness of God would lead you to repentance?
By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God,
who will repay everyone according to his works:
eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works,
but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness.
Yes, affliction and distress will come upon every human being who does evil, Jew first and then Greek.
But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, Jew first and then Greek.
There is no partiality with God.

Psalms

Only in God is my soul at rest;
from him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold; I shall not be disturbed at all.
Only in God be at rest, my soul,
for from him comes my hope.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold; I shall not be disturbed.
Trust in him at all times, O my people!
Pour out your hearts before him;
God is our refuge!

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

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. 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 in Avila, Spain. When she was 7 years old, she ran away from home in hope of being martyred by the Moors. When she was brought back and asked the 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, Teresa became a Carmelite nun. Frivolous conversations checked her progress toward perfection until she gave her heart undivided to God. At 31 years old, she received a vision of the place in eternity where her faults would have led her. She then mistrusted herself and relied entirely upon the will of God. She reformed her Order, was favored with distinct commands from our Lord, and attained union with God or the divine union of love (St. John of the Cross). St. Teresa was vigilant against conceitedness and self-delusion. She acted obediently to her confessors until the very end. Shepassed away on October 4, 1582. She was canonized on April 24, 1614, because of her heroic virtues and the miracles proceeding from her intercession.
