Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;  Let the sea resound, and all that is in it.  Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;  Let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.  Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes,  He comes to judge the earth.  He will judge the world in righteousness  And the peoples in his faithfulness.

We ask you, brothers and sisters, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling with him, not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly, or to be alarmed either by a “spirit,” or by an oral statement, or by a letter allegedly from us to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.

But these you should have done, without neglecting the others. Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel! “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.

(Readings for the memorial)

(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Tuesday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)

First Reading Sirach 26:1-4, 13-16 Like the sun rising in the Lord’s heavens, the beauty of a virtuous wife is the radiance of her home.

Blessed the husband of a good wife, twice-lengthened are his days; A worthy wife brings joy to her husband, peaceful and full is his life. A good wife is a generous gift bestowed upon him who fears the LORD; Be he rich or poor, his heart is content, and a smile is ever on his face.

A gracious wife delights her husband, her thoughtfulness puts flesh on his bones; A gift from the LORD is her governed speech, and her firm virtue is of surpassing worth. Choicest of blessings is a modest wife, priceless her chaste soul. A holy and decent woman adds grace upon grace; indeed, no price is worthy of her temperate soul. Like the sun rising in the LORD’s heavens, the beauty of a virtuous wife is the radiance of her home.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 131:1bcde, 2, 3

R/ In you, Lord, I have found my peace.

O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor are my eyes haughty; I busy not myself with great things, nor with things too sublime for me.

R/ In you, Lord, I have found my peace.

Nay rather, I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child. Like a weaned child on its mother’s lap, so is my soul within me.

R/ In you, Lord, I have found my peace.

O Israel, hope in the LORD, both now and forever.

R/ In you, Lord, I have found my peace.

Gospel Acclamation John 8:12

Alleluia, alleluia. I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Luke 7:11-17 She bore me in the arms of her prayer, that you might say to the son of the widow: Young man, I say to you, arise (Saint Augustine, Confessions, book 6, no. 2).

Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her. When the Lord saw her, he was moved with pity for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” He stepped forward and touched the coffin; at this the bearers halted, and he said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!” The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming, “A great prophet has arisen in our midst,” and “God has visited his people.” This report about him spread through the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 56: 1, 6-7

God’s words in Isaiah convey an outreach to all people including, foreigners.

Psalm 67

The Psalmists shares the same inclusive message from God.

Romans 11: 13-15, 29-32

Paul demonstrates inclusivity as he writes to the Romans.

Matthew 15: 23-28

Jesus eventually choses an inclusive gesture.

Any one of us who knew our immigrant grandparents can tell stories of the hard times they faced when they emigrated to this nation.  Prejudice existed based on their nationality and culture, and often surfaced because of their religious beliefs.  Roman Catholics faced such problems in the 19th century.  People often find it difficult to accept differences in culture, food, and customs.  Some believe their way is a superior one and others may have fear replacement or scarcity of resources when claims for help are being addressed.  Many of us can attest to this reality when we look at the numbers of cultural churches that were established in our community. They assisted folks in their transition to this nation’s culture. Inclusivity and the embrace of the “other” is a human issue.  And our Scripture readings this weekend address the same thing.

Long before the birth of Christ, the ancient Prophet Isaiah realized that the “Lord would bring foreigners who will join themselves to the Lord.”  The religious leaders did expect the foreigners to abide by the Jewish laws and customs but the acceptance of the “other” into the community is remarkable.

In the Letter to the Romans, Paul appears to have already accepted the “others,” the Gentiles, into the Christian community.  At the same time Paul reaffirms Israel’s special place in the eyes of God. He writes, “For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.”

Perhaps Paul is aware of the story Matthew shares with us today when Jesus tells the Canaanite woman requesting his help, “I was sent to only to the lost sheep of Israel.”  But her persistence on behalf of her daughter eventually has Jesus saying to her, “O woman great is your faith” and her daughter was healed.

Let us turn to a recent book by Amy-Jill Levine, a Jewish scholar who teaches the New Testament.  Her credentials help us explore the relationship between Jesus, Jews, and non-Jews as we experience them in this Gospel.  Just as an aside, when one finishes Matthew’s Gospel, we find Jesus commissioning the disciples to go out to all the nations.  Matthew now expresses a more inclusive message.  This reality causes me to remember a statement in Luke.  Jesus, after being lost in the Temple, returns home and Luke tells us that “…Jesus increased in wisdom and in years.”  Perhaps this reality was at play in this Gospel.  But during his ministry it seems Jesus is coming to grips with his ministry that is reaching more people and is expanding his horizons.

Levine in her book, “The Difficult Words of Jesus” shares that, “…thinking the Messianic age was beginning they (Jesus’ apostles) would not have the time to get to the Gentiles if they were to go to their own people first.” (79)  But Jesus could also look back into the Jew’s sacred scriptures and find examples of the prophets assisting non-Jews. 

But it is the woman, who in my mind, is a deciding factor in this story.  She understands the differences between the two cultures, and even after what looks like an insult, she presses on.  Levine writes, “She is the model for anyone, seeking aid for a child, who is told: you don’t have the right papers; you don’t have insurance; you don’t have money.” (96)

“Woman great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.”  Jesus is a model for all of us as he steps outside his comfort zone and realizes the goodness and faith of the “other.”  “He grew in age and wisdom.”  May this Gospel story enlighten us to see the faith, the goodness, and the beauty in those so many call the “others.” 

Levine writes, “…Matthew recognizes that both Jewish and Gentile identities are important, and it gives us the model of not just recognizing, but even celebrating various forms of difference in our own settings.” (98)

Wouldn’t you love to meet this courageous fearless women who serves as a model for all of us?

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for October 25

Morning

“Declare His glory among the heathen.”

Psalms 96

The spread of the gospel among men of all nations had been the theme of sacred song in the days of the psalmist. We shall read two of the psalms which refer thereto.

Psalms 96:1

Not Israel only, as in the olden times, but all mankind.

Psalms 96:2 , Psalms 96:3

This was the business of Pentecost, and is the duty of all the saints at all times.

Psalms 96:5

idols or nothings

Psalms 96:8

Prayers and praises are to be presented by all mankind; the sacrifice of Jesus has ended all other offerings.

Psalms 96:11-13

The reign of Jesus ends oppression, war, and crime, hence it is the cause of joy to all mankind.

Psalms 97

Psalms 97:2

Our Lord’s birth was obscure, and his doctrine was to the world’s judgment mysterious as though wrapt in cloud; yet is it perfect holiness.

Psalms 97:3

The fire of his Spirit destroyed idols and false philosophies.

Psalms 97:4

The truth lit up the nations, and amazed all people.

Psalms 97:5

All difficulties vanished, all enemies were subdued, the gospel triumphed over all.

Psalms 97:6

Under the whole heaven the gospel was published: it was as well known as if written across the skies.

Psalms 97:11

Glad times are in store for us, the seed which shall produce them is already sown and will soon yield its harvest.

Psalms 97:12

Joy is the privilege and the duty of a Christian, and he cannot have too much of it if it be of the right kind. Never let us give way to repining, rather let our holy cheerfulness cause others to inquire, “Whence comes their happiness?”

All that remains for me

Is but to love and sing,

And wait until the angels come

To bear me to the King.

Evening

“God hath given him a name which is above every name.”

Acts 3:1-21

Acts 3:1-3

They were interrupted on their way to their devotions, but it was a blessed interruption, for in the end they themselves were able to worship all the more fervently, and another was added to the number of those who praised the Lord. May we have grace to turn every incident we meet with to good account for promoting the glory of God. A beggar’s cry would not annoy us if we were looking out for opportunities of doing good.

Acts 3:6

Oh, the power of that name! If we did but believe in it as Peter did, we also should bless poor sinners, and be enriched ourselves with something better than silver and gold.

Acts 3:8

His joy was too great for him to go at an ordinary pace. When souls are healed by grace they overflow with enthusiasm. If we remembered our obligations to the Lord Jesus for making us whole, we also should often tread his courts with rapture, and feel as if we must dance for joy.

Acts 3:13

He points them away from himself and John to the Lord Jesus. This is very different from those Popish priests who bid us look to saints, and even urge us to seek blessings from their poor sinful selves.

Acts 3:14 , Acts 3:15

He charges them with their sin. As the sharp needle makes way for the silken thread, so does conviction of sin prepare men for the glorious gospel.

Acts 3:16-18

See how he woos them, as a mother does her child, and interprets their wicked conduct as kindly as he can.

Acts 3:21

Jesus will come again to restore this fallen earth; till then he reigns above.

Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?”

1 Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength. 2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah 4 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. 5 He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. 6 I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good. 7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies. — Psalm 54 | New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible; New King James Version®.

Monday, Twenty First Week in Ordinary Time 

(Liturgical Colour: Green. Year: B(II))

First Reading 2 Thessalonians 1:1-5, 11-12 May the name of our Lord Jesus be glorified in you and you in him.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the Church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters, as is fitting, because your faith flourishes ever more, and the love of every one of you for one another grows ever greater. Accordingly, we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God regarding your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions you endure. This is evidence of the just judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the Kingdom of God for which you are suffering. We always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith, that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 96:1-2a, 2b-3, 4-5

R/ Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.

Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all you lands. Sing to the LORD; bless his name.

R/ Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.

Announce his salvation, day after day. Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.

R/ Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.

For great is the LORD and highly to be praised; awesome is he, beyond all gods. For all the gods of the nations are things of nought, but the LORD made the heavens.

R/ Proclaim God’s marvelous deeds to all the nations.

Gospel Acclamation John 10:27

Gospel Matthew 23:13-22 Woe to you, blind guides.

Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You lock the Kingdom of heaven before men. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You traverse sea and land to make one convert, and when that happens you make him a child of Gehenna twice as much as yourselves. “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If one swears by the temple, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gold of the temple, one is obligated.’ Blind fools, which is greater, the gold, or the temple that made the gold sacred? And you say, ‘If one swears by the altar, it means nothing, but if one swears by the gift on the altar, one is obligated.’ You blind ones, which is greater, the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? One who swears by the altar swears by it and all that is upon it; one who swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it; one who swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who is seated on it.”

MAKE KNOWN HIS WONDERFUL DEEDS

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📖 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people (Psalm 105:1).

Pastor Chris Says

━━━━━━━━━━

There’re people who always share testimonies. When they’re in church and the Pastor asks if anyone has a testimony to share, they’re always the first to respond. How is it that some people are so blessed that they always have testimonies? The answer is in Isaiah 12:3-4, “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD….”

Did you see that? Their hearts are usually full of praise. What’s praise? Praise is the fruit of our lips—giving thanks to the Lord. This is even clearer in the English Standard Version: “And you will say in that day: Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted” (Isaiah 12:4 ESV).

Notice that it says, “make known his deeds”; in other words, testify! Grateful people always testify; they always have something to say that God has done for them. They’re always bubbling with joy. What kind of a person are you? Be sure that you’re a testifier. Always share your testimonies of what the Lord has done in your life.

1 Peter 2:9 tells us something beautiful; it says, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” Notice the underlined part; you were called, that is, ordained to show forth His praise; to declare His mighty works. Hallelujah!

Therefore, always testify of His love, His grace, His faithfulness and loving kindness that you enjoy every day. Be grateful to Him that He causes you to triumph always and in every place through Christ Jesus. Remember, winners are always full of joy and thanksgiving.

          🙏 P R A Y E R

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Dear Father, you’re great and glorious; you’re righteous, holy, just, true and pure. Your works are eternal, and so are your tender mercies and grace. I worship you for your faithfulness and goodness that are evident in my life. You’re exalted above all, the great King of all, the Creator of all things. Thank you, for not only have you conferred your Kingdom on me, you’ve expanded the Kingdom in me. Hallelujah!

           📖 FURTHER STUDY :

  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Isaiah 12:4 NIV; In that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.

[9] Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, Talk ye of all his wondrous works.

He will judge...the peoples with his truth. ~Psalm 96:13

[baxtersworld]

WHY THESE VIRUSES? WEST NILE, EEE & MPOX, May 15, 2026

God has laid upon His people the promised blessings that will be given if they consistently adhere to His commandments (Deuteronomy 28:1, 2).

However, if the people are adamant in defying God’s laws (Zechariah 7:11-13), He will allow the diseases akin to the plagues in Egypt to cleave unto them (Deuteronomy 28:15, 58-59).

DEUTERONOMY 28:21-22, 60-61

(21) The LORD shall make the PESTILENCE CLEAVE unto thee…

(22) …with a fever, and with an inflammation…

(60) Moreover he will bring upon thee all the DISEASES of EGYPT, which thou wast afraid of…

(61) Also every SICKNESS, and every PLAGUE, which is not written in the book of this law…

A rare but deadly disease spread by mosquitoes has recently been discovered by infectious diseases experts, particularly in America.

West Nile Virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) are zoonotic diseases that have been continuously infecting people, mainly across the United States.

American health authorities were prompt to implement curfew hours, particularly in Massachusetts, because of the deadly mosquito virus.

E – 5 (EEE) Eastern Equine Encephalitis

5 x 3 = 15

W – 23, N – 14, V – 22 (WNV) West Nile Virus

2 x 3 x 1 x 4 x 2 x 2 = 96 (9 + 6 = 15)

The sacred numbers of the pagan goddesses Ishtar and Sin are 15 and 30, which are likewise associated with the 153 white roses in Mary’s crown. (THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY, St. Louis De Montfort, pg. 28)

1 x 5 x 3 = 15

Biblically, the plagues in Egypt, which are an execution of God’s judgment both to the rebellious people and to the pagan gods, are a demonstration of God’s supremacy.

NUMBERS 33:4 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD EXECUTED JUDGMENTS.

The Egyptians who suffered God’s retribution have conceded that God's finger stroked them with 10 plagues, for they broke the 10 commandments written by the finger of God.

NUMBERS 14:22 …and have TEMPTED me now these TEN TIMES, and have NOT HEARKENED to my voice;

EXODUS 8:18, 19

(18) And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they COULD NOT…

(19) Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the FINGER of GOD…

DEUTERONOMY 9:10 And the LORD delivered unto me TWO TABLES of stone written with the FINGER of GOD… which the LORD spake with you in the MOUNT…

The 10 plagues depicts the 7 plagues (Revelation 15:1) that will be poured in the final days, as God’s words being purified 7 times (Psalm 12:6) have been corrupted by man with the 7 sins (Proverbs 6:16-19).

LEVITICUS 26:23, 24

(23) And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will WALK CONTRARY unto me;

(24) Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will PUNISH you yet SEVEN TIMES for your SINS.

The triangular number of 7 is 28. Herewith, number 28 refers to the 28 moon gods and goddesses of the pagans.

God used the number of the pagans in revealing His appointed time to return their ways to their own heads (Obadiah 15).

2 + 8 = 10

Taking the cube of numbers 1-10 as per digit will give a sum of 2026, the exact year of Christ’s return.

The earth has been defiled and cursed by God for breaking His law, notably the everlasting covenant (Leviticus 24:8, Exodus 31:16, 17), which is the Sabbath (Saturday).

ISAIAH 24:5, 6

(5) The EARTH also is defiled… because they have transgressed the laws… BROKEN the EVERLASTING COVENANT.

(6) Therefore hath the CURSE devoured the EARTH… the inhabitants of the earth are burned…

Hereby, it defies logic to claim that God has abrogated His law because He continues to uphold the Sabbath, His everlasting covenant, even in these final days.

HEBREWS 13:20 …brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus… through the blood of the EVERLASTING COVENANT,

MARK 1:15 The TIME IS FULFILLED, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT ye, and BELIEVE the gospel.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Reading 1

2 THES 2:1-3A, 14-17

We ask you, brothers and sisters, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling with him, not to be shaken out of your minds suddenly, or to be alarmed either by a "spirit," or by an oral statement, or by a letter allegedly from us to the effect that the day of the Lord is at hand. Let no one deceive you in any way. To this end he has also called you through our Gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word.

Responsorial Psalm

PS 96:10, 11-12, 13

R./ The Lord comes to judge the earth.

Say among the nations: The LORD is king. He has made the world firm, not to be moved; he governs the peoples with equity. R./ The Lord comes to judge the earth.

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea and what fills it resound; let the plains be joyful and all that is in them! Then shall all the trees of the forest exult. R./ The Lord comes to judge the earth.

Before the LORD, for he comes; for he comes to rule the earth. He shall rule the world with justice and the peoples with his constancy. R./ The Lord comes to judge the earth.

Gospel

MT 23:23-26

Jesus said: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity. But these you should have done, without neglecting the others. Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel! "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish, but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean."
