Tuesday of the Twenty-fourth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

First Letter to the Corinthians

12,12-14.27-31a.

]Brothers and sisters: As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.
]For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit.
]Now the body is not a single part, but many.
]Now you are Christ's body, and individually parts of it.
]Some people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then, gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues.
]Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work mighty deeds?
]Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
]Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts.

Psalm

Psalms

100(99),2.3.4.5.

]Sing joyfully to the Lord all you lands,
serve the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful song.
]Know that the LORD is God;
he made us, his we are;
his people, the flock he tends.
]Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
his courts with praise;
give thanks to him; bless his name. 
]The LORD is good:
his kindness endures forever,
and his faithfulness, to all generations.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

7,11-17.

]Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.
]As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her.
]When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, "Do not weep."
]He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"
]The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
]Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, "A great prophet has arisen in our midst," and "God has visited his people."
]This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

St. John Chrysostom(Bishop and Doctor of the Church - Memorial)

Saint John Chrysostom Bishop and Doctor of the Church (c. 349-407) Saint John Chrysostom is a Father of the Church and one of Her greatest preachers. John's title, "Chrysostom" means "Golden-mouthed." He was a zealous reformer whose activism provoked retaliation from rent-seeking politicians. St. John was born in Antioch and received formation from his mother. Early on, he decided to pursue a religious vocation. He was at first a monk who practiced asceticism, but later became a preacher and clergyman. As a zealous priest and later the bishop of Antioch, St. John preached social equity, care for the poor and the rejection of materialism and consumerism. Faithful to both the State and the Church, he once turned citizens away from rioting. St. John's faithfulness eventually saw him consecrated archbishop of Constantinople. However, his denunciation of ecclesiastical abuses provoked the wrath of high-ranking officials, including churchmen and the empress. The rancor of his enemies exploded into unjust, formal proceedings, which resulted in his banishment, exile and death. Fifty years later, his memory reconciled the different factions in cities where he preached. Today, St. John Chrysostom is remembered for his scintillating preaching, authentic application of the Gospel and perfect integrity. He stands at the side of Jesus Christ, interceding in causes of preaching and good works. As a disciple, St. John Chrysostom followed in the footsteps of our Lord, leading captives to freedom in his train (Ps. 68:18).
