Although I was home sick yesterday, and could not attend the 9am mass, I am thankful that the homilies are always recorded and available online.\u00a0 Even on days when I make it to a different mass, I like to listen to Fr. Lankeit’s homily.\u00a0\u00a0 The Lectionary readings for the day:<\/p>\n

18\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cFor I know[a<\/a>]<\/sup> their works and their thoughts, and I am[b<\/a>]<\/sup> coming to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and shall see my glory, 19\u00a0<\/sup>and I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Put,[c<\/a>]<\/sup> and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. 20\u00a0<\/sup>And they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the Israelites bring their cereal offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21\u00a0<\/sup>And some of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says the Lord.<\/p>\n Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 117\u00a0Praise the Lord, all nations! Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 5\u00a0<\/sup>And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons?\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cMy son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, 7\u00a0<\/sup>It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 11\u00a0<\/sup>For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.<\/p>\n 12\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13\u00a0<\/sup>and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 22\u00a0<\/sup>He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23\u00a0<\/sup>And some one said to him, \u201cLord, will those who are saved be few?\u201d And he said to them, 24\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cStrive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25\u00a0<\/sup>When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, \u2018Lord, open to us.\u2019 He will answer you, \u2018I do not know where you come from.\u2019 26\u00a0<\/sup>Then you will begin to say, \u2018We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.\u2019 27\u00a0<\/sup>But he will say, \u2018I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!\u2019 28\u00a0<\/sup>There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out. 29\u00a0<\/sup>And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God. 30\u00a0<\/sup>And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.\u201d<\/p>\n [hr color=”dark-gray” width=”100%” border_width=”2px” ]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n This was Fr.
