Tuesday of the Twenty-third week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

First Letter to the Corinthians

6,1-11.

]Brothers and sisters : How can any one of you with a case against another dare to bring it to the unjust for judgment instead of to the holy ones?
]Do you not know that the holy ones will judge the world? If the world is to be judged by you, are you unqualified for the lowest law courts?
]Do you not know that we will judge angels? Then why not everyday matters?
]If, therefore, you have courts for everyday matters, do you seat as judges people of no standing in the church?
]I say this to shame you. Can it be that there is not one among you wise enough to be able to settle a case between brothers?
]But rather brother goes to court against brother, and that before unbelievers?
]Now indeed (then) it is, in any case, a failure on your part that you have lawsuits against one another. Why not rather put up with injustice? Why not rather let yourselves be cheated?
]Instead, you inflict injustice and cheat, and this to brothers.
]Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor practicing homosexuals
]nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.
]That is what some of you used to be; but now you have had yourselves washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Psalm

Psalms

149(148),1-2.3-4.5-6a.9b.

]Sing to the LORD a new song
of praise in the assembly of the faithful.
]Let Israel be glad in their maker,
let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.
]Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
]For the LORD loves his people,
and he adorns the lowly with victory.
]Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them sing for joy upon their couches;
]Let the high praises of God be in their throats.
]This is the glory of all his faithful. Alleluia!

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

6,12-19.

]Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.
]When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named apostles:
]Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
]Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot,
]and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
]And he came down with them and stood on a stretch of level ground. A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon
]came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were cured.
]Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him because power came forth from him and healed them all.

St. Paphnutius(Bishop (4th century))

SAINT PAPHNUTIUSBishop(4th centtury) St. Paphnutius was an Egyptian. He mentored under St. Antony in the desert before being consecrated bishop in Upper Thebais. He was a confessor who lost his right eye under the tyrant Maximin Daia and was enslaved in the mines. When peace was restored, St. Paphnutius returned to his flock. As a confessor (one who had confessed the Faith under torments), he was highly regarded at the great Council of Nice. Constantine the Great conferred privately with the Bishop and reverently kissed the place where the latter had lost an eye. St. Paphnutius remained in contact with St. Athanasius. He accompanied the latter to the Council of Tyre in 335 and found the greater part of the assembly to be professed Arians. Seeing seeing Bishop Maximus of Jerusalem among the Arians, St. Paphnutius took him aside and said that no one who bore the same marks as he did should be led by those who deny Christianity's fundamental article. We have no particular account of St. Paphnutius' passing, but his name is in the Roman Martyrology on September 11.

Sts. Protus & Hyacinth(Martyrs († c. 260))

Saints Protus and HyacinthMartyrs ( c. 260) Commemoration In Rome, on the old Salarian Way, at the cemetery of Basilla, the birthday of the holy martyrs Protus and Hyacinth is celebrated. They were brothers and eunuchs in the service of Blessed Eugenia. Protus and Hyacinth were arrested and prosecuted for being Christians during the reign of Emperor Gallienus. When they refused to offer pagan sacrifice, they were scourged and beheaded. Protus and Hyacinth are forever alive with Christ because the principle of death - sin - was completely cancelled in them. They await us in our true native land together with Jesus and Mary, Help of Christians.

Oración

May the precious witness of your blessed Martyrs,
Protus and Hyacinth,
comfort us, O Lord,
and may their kind intercession continually protectus
