DAILY GOSPEL: 27/10/2010
«Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.» John 6,68
Wednesday of the Thirtieth week in Ordinary Time
Letter to the Ephesians 6:1-9.
Children, obey your parents (in the Lord), for this is right.
"Honor your father and mother." This is the first commandment with a promise,
"that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on earth."
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up with the training and instruction of the Lord.
Slaves, be obedient to your human masters with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ,
not only when being watched, as currying favor, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
willingly serving the Lord and not human beings,
knowing that each will be requited from the Lord for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.
Masters, act in the same way toward them, and stop bullying, knowing that both they and you have a Master in heaven and that with him there is no partiality.
Psalms 145(144):10-14.
All your works give you thanks, O LORD and your faithful bless you.
They speak of the glory of your reign and tell of your great works,
Making known to all your power, the glorious splendor of your rule.
Your reign is a reign for all ages, your dominion for all generations. The LORD is trustworthy in every word, and faithful in every work.
The LORD supports all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 13:22-30.
He passed through towns and villages, teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.
Someone asked him, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?" He answered them,
Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough.
After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, 'Lord, open the door for us.' He will say to you in reply, 'I do not know where you are from.'
And you will say, 'We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.'
Then he will say to you, 'I do not know where (you) are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!'
And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out.
And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the kingdom of God.
For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."

"Then people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the kingdom of God"
Father, your Son bequeathed to your Church
this memorial of his love;
as we call to mind his death and resurrection
we offer you the gift that you yourself have made,
the sacrifice that restores us to your grace.
Receive us also, together with your well-beloved Son;
give us in this meal your Holy Spirit:
may he disperse the cause of all that divides us
and confirm us in an even greater love,
in union with Pope Benedict XVI,
our Bishop N., the whole college of bishops
and all your people.
May your Church become in this world
a visible sign of unity and servant of your peace.
And as you gather us together here
at the table of your Son,
in union with the Virgin Mary, the holy Mother of God,
and with all the saints of heaven,
grant that one day the people of all countries and languages,
of every race and culture,
may be gathered at the banquet in your heavenly kingdom.
Then we will rejoice
in a unity at last accomplished,
a peace now finally complete
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

St. Frumentius, Bishop (4th century)
SAINT FRUMENTIUS
Bishop
(4th century)
Bishop
(4th century)
St. Frumentius was yet a child when his uncle, Meropins of Tyre, took him and his brother Edesius on a voyage to Ethiopia. In the course of their voyage the vessel touched at a certain port, and the barbarians of that country put the crew and all the passengers to the sword, except the two children. They were carried to the king, at Axuma, who, charmed with the wit and sprightliness of the two boys, took special care of their education; and, not long after made Edesius his cup-bearer, and Frumentius, who was the elder, his treasurer and secretary of state; on his death-bed he thanked them for their services, and in recompense gave them their liberty.
After his death the queen begged them to remain a court, and assist her in the government of the state until the young king carne of age. Edesius went back to Tyre, but St. Athanasius ordained Frumentius Bishop of the Ethiopians, and vested with this sacred character he gained great numbers to the Faith, and continued to feed and defend his flock until it pleased the Supreme Pastor to recompense his fidelity and labors
