Tuesday of the Thirtieth week in Ordinary Time

Letter to the Romans

Brothers and sisters: I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.
For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God;
for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope
that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.
We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now;
and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
For in hope we were saved. Now hope that sees for itself is not hope. For who hopes for what one sees?
But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait with endurance.

Psalms

When the LORD brought back the captives of Zion,
we were like men dreaming.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with rejoicing.
Then they said among the nations,
"the LORD has done great things for them."
The LORD has done great things for us;
we are glad indeed.
Restore our fortunes, O LORD,
like the torrents in the southern desert.
Those that sow in tears
shall reap rejoicing.
Although they go forth weeping,
carrying the seed to be sown,
they shall come back rejoicing,
carrying their sheaves.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

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."

St. Quintin(Martyr (3rd century))

SAINT QUINTIN Martyr(3rd century) St. Quintin was a Roman from a senatorial family. Zealous for the kingdom of God, he went to Gaul with St. Lucian. They preached together until reaching Amiens in Picardy. St. Lucian departed to Beauvais to sow the seeds of faith; and there gained the martyr's crown. St. Quintin lived at Amiens. Unfortunately, his preaching scandalized certain people. They accused him before local authorities who imprisoned and tortured him. His body was pierced with two iron wires from the neck to the thighs; and iron nails were thrust under his nails and into his flesh: particularly into his skull. Lastly, St. Quintin was beheaded. St. Quintin joined the Church Triumphant on October 31, 287. He reigns with Jesus Christ alongside St. Lucian, the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints.
