Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Book of Isaiah

53,10-11.

]The LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity. If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him.
]Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days; Through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.

Psalm

Psalms

33(32),4-5.18-19.20.22.

]Upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
]He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
]See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
]To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
]Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield,
]May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.

2. Reading

Letter to the Hebrews

4,14-16.

]Brothers and sisters: Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
]For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin.
]So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark

10,35-45.

]Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you."
]He replied, "What do you wish (me) to do for you?"
]They answered him, "Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left."
]Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?"
]They said to him, "We can." Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized;
]but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared."
]When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John.
]Jesus summoned them and said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt.
]But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant;
]whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.
]For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."

St. Hilarion(Abbot and Hermit (291-371))

SAINT HILARION Abbot and Hermit (291-371) St. Hilarion was the founder of Palestinian monasticism. He was born in Thabatha, Roman Palaestina. He first encountered Christ while studying grammar in Alexandria and went on to train under St. Antony in the Arabian Desert. St. Hilarion became a solitary at 15 years old after departing Egypt. He returned to Palestine, settled on its coast and preoccupied himself with basket weaving. He performed a healing miracle when an infertile woman besought him and he restored her through prayer. He attracted many disciples and built a monastery. St. Hilarion was endowed by God with many supernatural gifts, including healing miracles and inspired words. He relocated to Cyprus later in life and passed away at 80 years old.Alban Butler paraphrased St. Hilarion's final moments saying, "Go forth, my soul; why dost thou doubt? Thou hast served God nigh seventy years and dost thou fear death?" He is the patron saint of the Italian town Caulonia.

St. Ursula(Virgin and Martyr († 453))

SAINT URSULA Virgin and Martyr ( 453) Roman martyrologies differ in their accounts of St. Ursula. The earliest record of her life and martyrdom dates to the 5th century. In the later accounts, she was a spiritual director and educator of children. When England was attacked by Saxons, St. Ursula took asylum in Gaul. She established a community near Cologne on the borders of the Rhine. However, an army of Huns invaded and attacked her community. St. Ursula and her sisters would not submit to the Huns. As a result, they were put to death. St. Ursula is the patroness of the Ursulines, young women and teachers.
