Holy Gospel

20 The Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God was to come. He answered, “The kingdom of God is not like something you can observe 21 and say of it: ‘Look, here it is! There it is!’ See, the kingdom of God is among you.”

22 And Jesus said to his disciples, “The time is at hand when you will long to see one of the glorious days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23 Then people will tell you: ‘Look there! Look here!’ Do not go, do not follow them. 24 As lightning flashes from one end of the sky to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man. 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this people.


First Reading

22 Because Wisdom, who designed them all, taught me.

In her is a spirit that is intelligent, saintly, unique, manifold, subtle, active, concise, pure and lu-cid. It cannot corrupt, loves what is good and nothing can restrain it; 23 it is beneficent, loving humankind, steadfast, dependable, calm though almighty. It sees everything and penetrates all spirits, however intelligent, subtle and pure they may be.

24 Wisdom, in fact, surpasses in mobility all that moves, and being so pure pervades and permeates all things.

25 She is a breath of the power of God, a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty; nothing impure can enter her. 26 She is a reflection of eternal light, a spotless mirror of God’s action and an image of his goodness.

27 She is but one, yet Wisdom can do all things and, herself unchanging, she renews all things. She enters holy souls, making them prophets and friends of God, 28 for God loves only those who live with Wisdom.

29 She is indeed more beautiful than the sun and surpasses all the constellations; she outrivals light, 30 for light gives way to night, but evil cannot prevail against Wisdom.

8.1 Wisdom displays her strength from one end of the earth to the other, ordering all things rightly.


Responsorial Psalm

89 O Lord, your word stands forever, firmly fixed in the heavens.

90 Your faithfulness lasts throughout the ages – as long as the earth you created.

91 Your ordinances last to this day for all things are made to serve you.

130 As your words unfold, light is shed, and the simple-hearted un¬derstand.

135 Favor me with your smile and teach me your statutes.

175 Long may I live to sing your praise, may your ordinances always be my help!
