First Letter to the Corinthians

Brothers and sisters: Learn from myself and Apollos not to go beyond what is written, so that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over against another.
Who confers distinction upon you? What do you possess that you have not received? But if you have received it, why are you boasting as if you did not receive it?
You are already satisfied; you have already grown rich; you have become kings without us! Indeed, I wish that you had become kings, so that we also might become kings with you.
For as I see it, God has exhibited us apostles as the last of all, like people sentenced to death, since we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and human beings alike.
We are fools on Christ's account, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are held in honor, but we in disrepute.
To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clad and roughly treated, we wander about homeless
and we toil, working with our own hands. When ridiculed, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;
when slandered, we respond gently. We have become like the world's rubbish, the scum of all, to this very moment.
I am writing you this not to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
Even if you should have countless guides to Christ, yet you do not have many fathers, for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Psalms

The LORD is just in all his ways
and holy in all his works.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.
The LORD, keeps all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
May my mouth speak the praise of the LORD,
and may all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke

While Jesus was going through a field of grain on a sabbath, his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
Some Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?"
Jesus said to them in reply, "Have you not read what David did when he and those (who were) with him were hungry?
(How) he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions."
Then he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."

St. Cloud(Priest (522-c.560))

SAINT CLOUDPriest(522- c. 560) St. Cloud is the first saint among the French royal family's princes. He was the son of Chlodomir, the king of Orleans, and the grandson of St. Clotilda. He was scarce three years old when his father was killed in Burgundy. St. Clotilda raised him and his two brothers in Paris. Cloud's ambitious uncles divided the kingdom of Orleans among themselves and killed Cloud's brothers. By divine providence, Cloud escaped and was given sanctuary by the bishop of Rheims. His spiritual director was the hermit St. Severinus. He later renounced the world and served God in a monastic state. Cloud wished to live unknown to the world and later withdrew to Provence. When his hermitage was discovered, he returned to Paris and received holy orders at the request of Parisians. He was ordained a priest in 551 by Eusebius, the bishop of Paris. Fr. Cloud served villagers near Paris for several years. He built a church in western Paris dedicated to St. Martin of Tours. The sanctuary he created led the commune to be named after him. He instructed and edified his countrymen until he passed away in 560.
