Monday of the Thirtieth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Letter to the Ephesians

4,32.5,1-8.

]Brothers and sisters: Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
]So be imitators of God, as beloved children,
]and live in love, as Christ loved us and handed himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma.
]Immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among you, as is fitting among holy ones,
]no obscenity or silly or suggestive talk, which is out of place, but instead, thanksgiving.
]Be sure of this, that no immoral or impure or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
]Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient.
]So do not be associated with them.
]For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.

Psalm

Psalms

1,1-2.3.4.6.

]Blessed the man who follows not
the counsel of the wicked
Nor walks in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the company of the insolent,
]But delights in the law of the LORD
and meditates on his law day and night.
]He is like a tree
planted near running water,
that yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaves never fade.
Whatever he does, prospers.
]Not so, the wicked, not so;
they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
]For the LORD watches over the way of the just,
but the way of the wicked vanishes.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

13,10-17.

]Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath.
]And a woman was there who for eighteen years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of standing erect.
]When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, "Woman, you are set free of your infirmity."
]He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and glorified God.
]But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, "There are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day."
]The Lord said to him in reply, "Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering?
]This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?"
]When he said this, all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.

St. Anthony Mary Claret(Archbishop (1807-1870))

SAINT ANTHONY MARY CLARET Claretian Archbishop and Founder (1807-1870) St. Anthony Claret founded the Claretians. Their schools and libraries trace back to his tireless missions. St. Anthony was also a reformer who championed the poor and carried out the Church's social teaching. St. Anthony was ordained in 1835 after recovering from an illness. He preached successfully and advocated for the poor. In spite of his good works, secular groups were scandalized. The threats made on St. Anthony's life caused his superiors to send him abroad. When he returned, he founded the Claretians. St. Anthony was elected archbishop of Cuba for his brilliant preaching and apostolic success. Before returning to Spain, he survived an assasination attempt. His reforms included public education, credit unions and racial equality. In 1857, St. Anthony was appointed confessor to Queen Isabella of Spain. While fulfilling his duties, he built hospitals, colleges and other institutes. Neither could forced exile prevent him frompreaching and pursuing missions for education. He passed away on October 24, 1870, at a Cistercian abbey in Fontfroide,Narbonne, southeastern France.

St. Magloire(Bishop († c. 575))

SAINT MAGLOIRE Bishop ( c. 575) St. Magloire was born in Brittany toward the end of the fifth century. He was the cousin of St. Sampson. When they were adults, St. Magloire returned home and St. Sampson entered a monastery. St. Magloire's father Amon was miraculously cured from a dangerous disease through prayer. In thanksgiving, St. Magloire, Amon and Amon's wife gave their belongings to the poor and received the habit at St. Sampson's monastery. When St. Sampson was consecrated bishop, St. Magloire accompanied him in Armorica or Brittany. St. Magloire resigned his own bishopric at 70 years old and retired to a desert. Some time later, he transferred to the isle of Jersey. There, he founded another monastery and governed sixty monks. He passed away circa 575.
