Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Book of Habakkuk

1,2-3.2,2-4.

]How long, O LORD? I cry for help but you do not listen! I cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not intervene.
]Why do you let me see ruin; why must I look at misery? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and clamorous discord.
]Then the LORD answered me and said: Write down the vision Clearly upon the tablets, so that one can read it readily.
]For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; If it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late.
]The rash man has no integrity; but the just man, because of his faith, shall live.

Psalm

Psalms

95(94),1-2.6-7.8-9.

]Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation.
]Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to him.
]Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
]For he is our God,
and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.
]Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
“Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as in the day of Massah in the desert,
]Where your fathers tempted me;
they tested me though they had seen my works.”  

2. Reading

Second Letter to Timothy

1,6-8.13-14.

]Beloved: I remind you to stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.
]For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.
]So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord, nor of me, a prisoner for his sake; but bear your share of hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from God.
]Take as your norm the sound words that you heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
]Guard this rich trust with the help of the holy Spirit that dwells within us.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

17,5-10.

]The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
]The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to (this) mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
]Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, 'Come here immediately and take your place at table'?
]Would he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished'?
]Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded?
]So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'"

St. Bruno(Priest (c. 1030-1101))

SAINT BRUNO Priest (c. 1030-1101) St. Bruno was born in Cologne to a pious family. He was endowed with intelligence and natural gifts, which he cultivated through higher learning in Paris. He became a canon in Cologne and later in Rheims and was appointed director of theological studies. When the bishop passed away, the see fell into evil hands. Bruno retired to the countryside and forsook the world, but continued praying, fasting and almsgiving. With docility to the Holy Spirit, he and six companions founded a religious order. They besought Bishop Hugh of Grenoble, who gave them a wild solitude called the Chartreuse. They practiced poverty, self-denial and silence: each apart in his own cell, meeting only to worship God and employing themselves in copying books. Bruno's order was called the Carthusians after the wilderness where they lived. Six years later, Pope Urban II summoned Bruno to Rome as an advisor. Bruno tried to live as he had in the desert, but the echoes of the great city disturbed him. After refusing high dignities, he gained permission to resume his monastic life in Calabria. He lived there humbly and peacefully until passing away in 1101.
