- Readings: 2 Philippians, 12-18
-
- Gospel: Matthew, 25: 1-13 (English & Lebanese):
On the Fifth Sunday after the Holy Cross, the Parable of the
ten virgins is the point of discussion: "The Kingdom of
heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went
to meet the bridegroom." St. Paul explains in his letter
toe the Philippians, that we should be the light and the life
to the world. During this week, we listen to readings on waiting,
good deeds and light. Do we know that every day we have an appointment
with the bridegroom? Do we know that a good deed allows us to
be ready for this meeting, and to bear witness and be the light
for the nations?

- St. Luke (Evangelist)
First Century
-
- Born of a pagan family, St. Luke became a convert to the
Christian Faith. He accompanied St. Paul on his second missionary
journey and was with the apostle during his final imprisonment
in Rome. Paul calls him "My dear friend Luke" in one
of his epistles. Luke compiled the third Gospel. He describes
at length the infancy of Jesus and his mercy. The great parable
of the Prodigal Son in found in Luke. In the Acts of the Apostles
Luke relates the beginnings of the infant Church as it develops
under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. One tradition says
that Luke died in Boeotia, in Greece, at the age of eighty-four.
He is the patron of painters and physicians. In art an ox represents
him because he begins his Gospel with the account of the priest
Zachary sacrificing in the Temple.
Lord Jesus, may we grow in faith through the words of your Gospel.

- Prayer
Be deaf to anyone who does not speak of Jesus Christ,
He was ascended from David,
Truly was he born of Mary. He ate and drank,
Truly was he tried by Pontius Pilate. He was crucified,
Truly he died, as heaven and earth looked on. He was
Raised from the dead, truly his Father wakened him.
And his Father will raise us, too, who believes in him
In Christ Jesus; truly we have no life except in Jesus Christ.
"St. Ignatius"
