Monday, July 13 : Saint John Chrysostom
“I was a stranger,” Christ says, “and you took me in” (Mt 25:35). And again, “In so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.” (Mt 25:40). In every believer and brother, though they be least of all, Christ comes to you. Open […]

Jesus said to his Apostles: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man ‘against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s enemies will be […]

“Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you, for your burnt offerings are before me always. I take from your house no bullock, no goats out of your fold.” “Why do you recite my statutes, and profess my covenant with your mouth, Though you hate discipline and cast my words behind you?” “When you do […]
Monday, July 13 : Book of Isaiah 1,10-17.
Hear the word of the LORD, princes of Sodom! Listen to the instruction of our God, people of Gomorrah! What care I for the number of your sacrifices? says the LORD. I have had enough of whole-burnt rams and fat of fatlings; In the blood of calves, lambs and goats I find no pleasure. When […]
Sunday, July 12 : Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13,1-23.
On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And […]
Sunday, July 12 : Saint Bernard
Brethren, we must take care that the Word who came forth from the Father’s mouth and came down to us through the mediation of the Virgin Mary does not return back empty (Is 55,11) but that we return grace for grace to him through this same Virgin. Let us then call to mind unceasingly remembrance […]
Sunday, July 12 : Letter to the Romans 8,18-23.
Brothers and sisters: I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God; for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who […]
Sunday, July 12 : Psalms 65(64),10.11.12-13.14.
You have visited the land and watered it; greatly have you enriched it. God’s watercourses are filled; You have prepared the grain. Thus have you prepared the land: drenching its furrows, breaking up its clods, softening it with showers, blessing its yield. You have crowned the year with your bounty, and your paths overflow with […]
Sunday, July 12 : Book of Isaiah 55,10-11.
Thus says the LORD: Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, So shall my word be that goes forth from my […]
Saturday, July 11 : Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 10,24-33.
Jesus said to his Apostles: “No disciple is above his teacher, no slave above his master. It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, for the slave that he become like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household! Therefore […]
Saturday, July 11 : Saint Charles de Foucauld
“As soon as you declare yourselves to be my servants, you must expect to be persecuted. I was persecuted all my life long. When I was born, Herod wanted to put me to death; I had scarcely begun to preach when my fellow men wanted to kill me; hardly had I escaped from their hands […]
