Letter to the Ephesians

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.

Psalms

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.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

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 spanning the globe trace back to St. Anthony’s tireless missions. A reformer and peacemaker, St. Antony abandoned his own will and relied wholly upon the will of Jesus with Mary. St. Anthony was ordained in 1835 after recovering from an illness. His preaching was successful and he championed the cause of the poor. St. Anthony’s works scandalized secular, anti-clerical groups. The threats made on his life saw him sent abroad. When he returned, he founded The Claretians. St. Anthony was elected archbishop of Cuba for his brilliant preaching and apostolic success. By the time he returned, he had survived an assasination attempt. His reforms, which included public schools, credit unions and racial equality were good in the eyes of God, but wrongful in the eyes of men. “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have enough room for the books that would be written” (Jn. 21:25). In 1857, St. Anthony was appointed confessor to Queen Isabella of Spain. He built hospitals, colleges and other institutions. Even forced exile did not stop him frompreaching and pursuing missions for education. He passed away on October 24, 1870, in a Cistercian abbey in Fontfroide,Narbonne, southern France.

St. Magloire(Bishop († c. 575))

SAINT MAGLOIRE Bishop ( c. 575) St. Magloire was born in Brittany at the end of the fifth century. When he and his cousin, St. Sampson, came of an age, Sampson entered a monastery and Magloire returned home. Magloire's father, Amon, was cured of a dangerous disease by prayer. In response, Magloire, Amon and Amon's wife gave their belongings to the poor and received the habit in Sampson's monastery. When Sampson was elected bishop, Magloire accompanied him in Armorica, or Brittany. St. Magloire resigned his bishopric at seventy years old and retired into a desert on the continent, and some time after into the isle of Jersey. There, he founded another monastery and governed sixty monks. He passed away about the year 575 to be with Jesus and the Church Triumphant forever.
