Tuesday of the Twenty-fifth week in Ordinary Time

Tuesday of the Twenty-fifth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Book of Proverbs

21,1-6.10-13.

]Like a stream is the king's heart in the hand of the LORD; wherever it pleases him, he directs it.
]All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes, but it is the LORD who proves hearts.
]To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
]Haughty eyes and a proud heart-- the tillage of the wicked is sin.
]The plans of the diligent are sure of profit, but all rash haste leads certainly to poverty.
]He who makes a fortune by a lying tongue is chasing a bubble over deadly snares.
]The soul of the wicked man desires evil; his neighbor finds no pity in his eyes.
]When the arrogant man is punished, the simple are the wiser; when the wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.
]The just man appraises the house of the wicked: there is one who brings down the wicked to ruin.
]He who shuts his ear to the cry of the poor will himself also call and not be heard.

Psalm

Psalms

119(118),1.27.30.34.35.44.

]Blessed are they whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the LORD.
]Make me understand the way of your precepts,
and I will meditate on your wondrous deeds.
]The way of truth I have chosen;
I have set your ordinances before me.
]Give me discernment, that I may observe your law
and keep it with all my heart.
]Lead me in the path of your commands,
for in it I delight.
]I will keep your law continually,
forever and ever.

Gospel

St. Finbarr(Bishop (6th century))

SAINT FINBARR Bishop (6th century) St. Finbarr was a native of Connaught. He founded a monastery or school in Lough Eire. The disciples who flocked to him changed the area's marshland into a town. This was the beginning of the city of Cork, built upon stakes in marshy little islands formed by the river Lea. St. Finbarr was baptized Lochan, but his surname, Finbarr, or Barr the White, was given to him later. He was the bishop of Cork for seventeen years. When his course drew to an end, Bp. Finbarr was at peace. He passed away surrounded by his friends in Cloyne, fifteen miles from Cork. His relics are venerated at a cathedral named after him. Restored in the 19th century, Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is an architectural triumph. His hermitage is in Gougane Barra, west of Cork, on the edge of a lake.
