Letter to the Romans

5,12.15b.17-19.20b-21.

Brothers and sisters: Through one man sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all men, inasmuch as all sinned—
But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by that one person's transgression the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one person Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
For if, by the transgression of one person, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one person Jesus Christ.
In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all.
For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous.
The law entered in so that transgression might increase but, where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more,
so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through justification for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Psalms

40(39),7-8a.8b-9.10.17.

Sacrifice or oblation you wished not,
but ears open to obedience you gave me.
Burnt offerings or sin-offerings you sought not;
then said I, “Behold I come.”
“In the written scroll it is prescribed for me,
To do your will, O my God, is my delight,
and your law is within my heart!”
I announced your justice in the vast assembly;
I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
May all who seek you
exult and be glad in you,
and may those who love your salvation
say ever, “The LORD be glorified.”

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

12,35-38.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Gird your loins and light your lamps
and be like servants who await their master's return from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.
Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them.
And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants."

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 St. Anthony’s tireless missions. A reformer and peacemaker, St. Anthony abandoned his own will and relied wholly upon the will of Jesus and Mary. St. Anthony was ordained in 1835 after recovering from an illness. He not only preached successfully, but also championed the cause of the poor. In spite of his good works, secular and anti-clerical 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. By the time he returned to Spain, 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 certain men. In 1857, St. Anthony was appointed confessor to Queen Isabella of Spain. While fulfilling his duties, he built hospitals, colleges and other institutions. 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, southern France.

St. Magloire(Bishop († c. 575))

---

SAINT MAGLOIRE Bishop ( c. 575) St. Magloire was born at Brittany toward the end of the fifth century; and was the cousin of St. Sampson. When he and his cousin Sampson came of an age, Magloire returned home and Sampson entered a monastery. Magloire's father, Amon, was miraculously 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 at Sampson's monastery. When Sampson was consecrated bishop, Magloire accompanied him in Armorica, or Brittany. Magloire resigned his own bishopric at 70 and retired to a desert on the continent. Some time later, he transferred to the isle of Jersey. There, he founded another monastery and governed sixty monks. He passed away circa 575: entering heaven through to his perfect conformity to Jesus Christ.
