Friday of the Twenty-ninth week in Ordinary Time

Letter to the Ephesians

Brothers and sisters : I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received,
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love,
striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace:
one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call;
one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Psalms

The LORD's are the earth and its fullness;
the world and those who dwell in it.
For he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?
or who may stand in his holy place?
One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
who desires not what is vain.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
a reward from God his savior.
Such is the race that seeks for him,
that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

Jesus said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west you say immediately that it is going to rain–and so it does;
and when you notice that the wind is blowing from the south you say that it is going to be hot--and so it is.
You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; why do you not know how to interpret the present time?
Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
If you are to go with your opponent before a magistrate, make an effort to settle the matter on the way; otherwise your opponent will turn you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the constable, and the constable throw you into prison.
I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny."

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 in Gaul toward the middle of the third century. After fixing their residence in Soissons, they instructed many in the faith. The brothers preached by day and made shoes by night. Many Celts received faith in Jesus through their apostolate. Like St. Paul, they "became all things to all people" (1 Cor. 9:22). Especially effective was their example of charity, disinterested love and 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.The brothers were patient and constant under torture. They were martyred circa 287.
