Friday of the Thirtieth week in Ordinary Time

Letter to the Romans

Brothers and Sisters: I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie; my conscience joins with the holy Spirit in bearing me witness
that I have great sorrow and constant anguish in my heart.
For I could wish that I myself were accursed and separated from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kin according to the flesh.
They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;
theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Messiah. God who is over all be blessed forever. Amen.

Psalms

Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion.
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates;
he has blessed your children within you.
He has granted peace in your borders;
with the best of wheat he fills you.
He sends forth his command to the earth;
swiftly runs his word!
He has proclaimed his word to Jacob,
his statutes and his ordinances to Israel.
He has not done thus for any other nation;
his ordinances he has not made known to them. Alleluia

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees, and the people there were observing him carefully.
In front of him there was a man suffering from dropsy.
Jesus spoke to the scholars of the law and Pharisees in reply, asking, "Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath or not?"
But they kept silent; so he took the man and, after he had healed him, dismissed him.
Then he said to them, "Who among you, if your son or ox falls into a cistern, would not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?"
But they were unable to answer his question.

St. Quintin(Martyr (3rd century))

SAINT QUINTIN Martyr(3rd century) St. Quintin was a Roman from a senatorial family. He went to Gaul with St. Lucian to preach the Gospel. They preached until reaching Amiens in Picardy. From there, St. Lucian departed to Beauvais, where he sowed the seeds of faith and gained the martyr's crown. St. Quintin lived in Amiens, but his preaching scandalized some individuals. They accused him of crimes, which resulted in his imprisoned and torture. 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, the Blessed Virgin Mary, his friend St. Lucian and all the saints.
