Thursday of the Twenty-second week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

First Letter to the Corinthians

3,18-23.

]Brothers and sisters : Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you considers himself wise in this age, let him become a fool, so as to become wise.
]For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God, for it is written: "He catches the wise in their own ruses,"
]and again: "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain."
]So let no one boast about human beings, for everything belongs to you,
]Paul or Apollos or Kephas, or the world or life or death, or the present or the future: all belong to you,
]and you to Christ, and Christ to God.

Psalm

Psalms

24(23),1-2.3-4ab.5-6.

]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.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

5,1-11.

]While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
]He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
]Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
]After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch."
]Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets."
]When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing.
]They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that they were in danger of sinking.
]When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man."
]For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him,
]and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."
]When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.

St. Giles of Castaneda(Abbot (640-720))

SAINT GILESAbbot(640-720) St. Giles is venerated in France and England. He was said to be an Athenian noble. His piety and learning drew admirers and he sought holy solitude. With docility to the Holy Spirit, St. Giles sailed to France and made a hermitage in the open deserts near the mouth of the Rhone. He then transferred to a site near the river Gard and settled in a forest in the diocese of Nismes. He lived for many years conversing only with God and the saints. Miraculously, he was nourished by a hind who gave him its milk. Once, when the hind was being hunted, it fled to Giles for refuge and he was discovered. The miracles attributed to St. Giles' intercession made his name ring throughout France. He was even esteemed by the French king, who failed to make him renounce holy solitude. St. Giles later admitted disciples and founded a monastery. In the following ages, his monastery became a flourishing abbey of the Benedictine Order.
