DAILY GOSPEL: 14/10/2010
«Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.» John 6,68
Thursday of the Twenty-eighth week in Ordinary Time
Letter to the Ephesians 1:1-10.
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the holy ones who are (in Ephesus) faithful in Christ Jesus:
grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love
he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will,
for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved.
In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace
that he lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight,
he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him
as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.
Psalms 98(97):1-6.
Sing a new song to the LORD, who has done marvelous deeds, Whose right hand and holy arm have won the victory.
The LORD has made his victory known; has revealed his triumph for the nations to see,
Has remembered faithful love toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth; break into song; sing praise.
Sing praise to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and melodious song.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout with joy to the King, the LORD.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11:47-54.
Woe to you! You build the memorials of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
Consequently, you bear witness and give consent to the deeds of your ancestors, for they killed them and you do the building.
Therefore, the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and persecute'
in order that this generation might be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world,
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who died between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood!
Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter."
When he left, the scribes and Pharisees began to act with hostility toward him and to interrogate him about many things,
for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say.

Good Friday Reproaches
"They began to act with hostility toward him and to interrogate him"
My people, what have I done to you?
How have I offended you? Answer me! (Mi 6,3).
O my people, drawn astray by bitterness,
Hard of heart, remember!,
The Lord has set you free.
Is such great love to meet with no reply?
Great love of God, the crucified?
I, before the dawn of time,
Prepared your day;
And you renounce the only Life
That gives unclouded joy:
My people, answer me!
I burst your bonds of slavery,
Drowned your enemies in the sea;
Yet you hand me over to the foe,
You prepare a Pasch for me:
My people, answer me!
I went with you on your journey,
With a cloud I guided you;
In your night you cover me,
Know no more my glory's way:
My people, answer me!
I sent out to you my prophets
Who in your exile cried aloud;
But you would not return,
You were deaf to my appeal:
My people, answer me!
How have I offended you? Answer me! (Mi 6,3).
O my people, drawn astray by bitterness,
Hard of heart, remember!,
The Lord has set you free.

And you renounce the only Life

Drowned your enemies in the sea;
Yet you hand me over to the foe,
You prepare a Pasch for me:
My people, answer me!
I went with you on your journey,
With a cloud I guided you;
In your night you cover me,
Know no more my glory's way:
My people, answer me!

Who in your exile cried aloud;
But you would not return,

St. Callistus I, Pope and Martyr († c. 222)
SAINT CALLISTUS I
Pope
Martyr
(† c. 222)
Pope
Martyr
(† c. 222)
Early in the third century, Callistus, then a deacon, was intrusted by Pope St. Zephyrinus with the rule of the clergy, and set by him over the cemeteries of the Christians at Rome; and, at the death of Zephyrinus, Callistus, according to the Roman usage, succeeded to the Apostolic See in 217.
A decree is ascribed to him appointing the four fasts of the Ember seasons, but his name is best known in connection with the old cemetery on the Appian Way, which was enlarged and adorned by him, and is called to this day the Catacomb of St. Callistus.
During the persecution under the Emperor Severus, St. Callistus was driven to take shelter in the poor and populous quarters of the city; yet, in spite of these troubles, and of the care of the Church, he made diligent search for the body of Calipodius, one of his clergy who had suffered martyrdom shortly before, by being cast into the Tiber. When he found it he was full of joy, and buried it, with hymns of praise.
Callistus was martyred about 222.
