Letter to the Ephesians

5,21-33.

Brothers and sisters: be subordinate to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Wives should be subordinate to their husbands as to the Lord.
For the husband is head of his wife just as Christ is head of the church, he himself the savior of the body.
As the church is subordinate to Christ, so wives should be subordinate to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and handed himself over for her
to sanctify her, cleansing her by the bath of water with the word,
that he might present to himself the church in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
So (also) husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
For no one hates his own flesh but rather nourishes and cherishes it, even as Christ does the church,
because we are members of his body.
"For this reason a man shall leave (his) father and (his) mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
This is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.
In any case, each one of you should love his wife as himself, and the wife should respect her husband.

Psalms

128(127),1-2.3.4-5.

Blessed are you who fear the LORD,
who walk in his ways!
For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork;
blessed shall you be, and favored.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
in the recesses of your home;
Your children like olive plants
around your table.
Behold, thus is the man blessed
who fears the LORD.
The LORD bless you from Zion:
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

13,18-21.

Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed that a person took and planted in the garden. When it was fully grown, it became a large bush and 'the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.'"
Again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch of dough was leavened."

Sts. Crispin & Crispinian(Martyrs († c. 287))

SAINTS CRISPIN and CRISPINIAN Martyrs ( c. 287) Sts. Crispin and Crispinian were brothers and nobles. They went from Rome to preach the Faith in Gaul toward the middle of the third century. Fixing their residence at Soissons, they instructed many in the Faith of Christ. They preached publicly by day, and made shoes at night. Many Celts received faith in Jesus Christ when they preached the Gospel. Like St. Paul, the brothers "became all things to all people" (1 Cor. 9:22). Especially effective were their examples of charity, disinterestedness, contempt of earthly glory and heavenly piety. The brothers worked in Gaul for several years before a malicious complaint was lodged against them. The emperor, to gratify their accusers, ordered them tried by Varus, a cruel persecutor of Christians. The brothers were patient and constant under torture, and were martyred by the sword about the year 287.
