#St. John Chrysostom Saint of the Day Saint of the Day St. John Chrysostom St. John Chrysostom (347-407 A.D.) was born to noble parents in Antioch

#an important center of Christianity in his day. After the death of his father

#his mother sent him to the best schools for his education. As a result of his philosophical studies he was convinced of the truth of Christianity

#entered the Church

#and became a renowned scholar and orator. He then adopted a life of extreme asceticism as a hermit and committed the whole of Sacred Scripture to memory. The brilliance of his mind combined with the holiness of his soul made him famous; he was ordained a

#among the greatest in the history of the Church

#which earned him the name 'Chrysostom' meaning

#'Golden-mouthed' or 'Golden tongued'. His sermons

#which extended for up to two hours

#were public marvels. His straightforward style of preaching the Scriptures and his practical homilies made him very popular. He also denounced the abuses of the ruling authority and preached against the immorality of the day

#which resulted in him being exiled numerous times. He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 451. St. John Chrysostom's feast day is September 13th.

#USCCB » Bible » Daily Readings May 15 2019 « May 14 | May 16 » Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 281 Reading 1 Acts 12:24—13:5a The word of God continued to spread and grow. After Barnabas and Saul completed their relief mission

#they returned to Jerusalem

#taking with them John

#who is called Mark. Now there were in the Church at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas

#Symeon who was called Niger

#Lucius of Cyrene

#Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch

#and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting

#the Holy Spirit said

#"Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Then

#completing their fasting and prayer

#they laid hands on them and sent them off. So they

#sent forth by the Holy Spirit

#went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus. When they arrived in Salamis

#they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. Responsorial Psalm Ps 67:2-3

#6 and 8 R.(4) O God

#let all the nations praise you! or: R. Alleluia. May God have pity on us and bless us; may he let his face shine upon us. So may your way be known upon earth; among all nations

#your salvation. R. O God

#let all the nations praise you! or: R. Alleluia. May the nations be glad and exult because you rule the peoples in equity; the nations on the earth you guide. R. O God

#let all the nations praise you! or: R. Alleluia. May the peoples praise you

#O God; may all the peoples praise you! May God bless us

#and may all the ends of the earth fear him! R. O God

#alleluia. I am the light of the world

#says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life. R. Alleluia

#alleluia. Gospel Jn 12:44-50 Jesus cried out and said

#“Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me

#and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. I came into the world as light

#so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness. And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them

#I do not condemn him

#for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke

#it will condemn him on the last day

#because I did not speak on my own

#but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say

#I say as the Father told me.”

#28-30 Israel set out with all that was his. When he arrived at Beer-sheba

#he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. There God

#speaking to Israel in a vision by night

#"Jacob! Jacob!" He answered

#"Here I am." Then he said: "I am God

#the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt

#for there I will make you a great nation. Not only will I go down to Egypt with you; I will also bring you back here

#after Joseph has closed your eyes." So Jacob departed from Beer-sheba

#and the sons of Israel put their father and their wives and children on the wagons that Pharaoh had sent for his transport. They took with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan. Thus Jacob and all his descendants

#his daughters and his granddaughtersB all his descendants—he took with him to Egypt. Israel had sent Judah ahead to Joseph

#so that he might meet him in Goshen. On his arrival in the region of Goshen

#Joseph hitched the horses to his chariot and rode to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as Joseph saw him

#he flung himself on his neck and wept a long time in his arms. And Israel said to Joseph

#"At last I can die

#now that I have seen for myself that Joseph is still alive." Responsorial Psalm Ps 37:3-4

#39-40 R.(39a) The salvation of the just comes from the Lord. Trust in the LORD and do good

#that you may dwell in the land and be fed in security. Take delight in the LORD

#and he will grant you your heart's requests. R. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord. The LORD watches over the lives of the wholehearted; their inheritance lasts forever. They are not put to shame in an evil time; in days of famine they have ple

#that you may abide forever; For the LORD loves what is right

#and forsakes not his faithful ones. R. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord. The salvation of the just is from the LORD; he is their refuge in time of distress. And the LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves

#because they take refuge in him. R. The salvation of the just comes from the Lord. Alleluia Jn 16:13a

#14:26d R. Alleluia

#alleluia. When the Spirit of truth comes

#he will guide you to all truth and remind you of all I told you. R. Alleluia

#alleluia. Gospel Mt 10:16-23 Jesus said to his Apostles: "Behold

#I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men

#for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues

#and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans. When they hand you over

#do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say. For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will hand over brother to death

#and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name

#but whoever endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town

#flee to another. Amen

#you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes."

#he gave him all the earth

#All growing things

#with every bird and beast; Then Adam named them at the Lord’s command

#Subdued the greatest of them

#And when from dust he fashioned Adam’s face

#The likeness of his only Son was formed: His Word incarnate

#servants of the Lord

#you who stand in the house of the Lord

#he chose Israel for his possession. I know how great is the Lord

#how great is our God above all gods. The Lord accomplishes all that he wills

#in the heavens and on the earth

#in the sea and the depths of the oceans. He brings in clouds from the ends of the earth

#makes lightning for the rain-clouds

#from his storehouse he calls forth the winds. He struck down the first-born of Egypt

#of man and of beast alike. He sent signs and wonders among them

#to Pharaoh and all his servants. He shattered nation after nation

#killed powerful kings: Sihon

#king of the Amorites

#the king of Bashan

#all the kingdoms of Canaan. He gave their lands as a birthright

#for he is loving. Lord

#your name is for ever; Lord

#your name will be remembered by generation after generation. For the Lord will give judgement for his people

Gospel text (Lk 14,1-6): One Sabbath Jesus had gone to eat a meal in the house of a leading Pharisee, and He was carefully watched. In front of him was a man suffering from dropsy; so Jesus asked the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees, «Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?». But no one answered. Jesus then took the man, healed him and sent him away. And he addressed them, «If your lamb or your ox falls into a well on a Sabbath day, who among you doesn't hurry to pull it out?». And they could not answer.

«Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?»

Fr. Antoni CAROL i Hostench (Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain)

Today, we will center our attention on the piercing question Jesus asked the Pharisees: «Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?» (Lk 14:4), and in their very significant silence, as per St. Luke: «But no one answered» (Lk 14:4).

Many are the Gospel episodes where Our Lord reproaches their hypocrisy to the Pharisees. It is quite noteworthy how God's outstanding interest in substantiating up to which point He dislikes this sin —false appearances, deceitful actions—, which is placed at the antipodes of Christ's praise to Nathaniel: «Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him» (Jn 1:47). God loves the heart's simplicity, the spirit's naivety while, on the other hand, He rejects with energy the intricacies, the shady looks, the double standards, the hypocrisy.

That which is significant in the Lord's question and in the Pharisees' silent reply is the bad conscience they had, deep inside. There was a man suffering from dropsy who was looking forward to be healed by Jesus. The fulfillment of the Judaic Law —ludicrous concentration on the letter with total disdain of the spirit— and the empty presumption of their blameless behavior, brings them to appear shocked by the attitude of Christ who, carried away by his merciful heart, does not allow any legal formalisms to prevent him from healing he who is ailing.

The Pharisees realize that their hypocrite behavior cannot be justified and this is what keeps them silent. In this passage a very clear lesson is shining through: the need to understand that saintliness is to follow Christ —to full enamorment— and not to coldly fulfill some legal precepts. The Commandments are holly because they come all the way directly from God's infinite Wisdom, but it is quite possible to live them in a legalist and empty way, and it is then when the incongruence appears of pretending to follow God and ending up by going behind ourselves.

Let the charming simplicity of the Mother of God direct our lives.
