Reading 1 and//usccb.org/bible/wisdom/7:22 WIS 7:22B–8and1 In Wisdom is a spiritintelligent, holy, unique,Manifold, subtle, agile,clear, unstained, certain,Not baneful, loving the good, keen,unhampered, beneficent, kindly,Firm, secure, tranquil,all-powerful, all-seeing,And pervading all spirits,though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion,and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity.For she is an aura of the might of Godand a pure effusion of the glory of the Almightytherefore nought that is sullied enters into her.For she is the refulgence of eternal light,the spotless mirror of the power of God,the image of his goodness.And she, who is one, can do all things,and renews everything while herself perduringAnd passing into holy souls from age to age,she produces friends of God and prophets.For there is nought God loves, be it not one who dwells with Wisdom.For she is fairer than the sunand surpasses every constellation of the stars.Compared to light, she takes precedencefor that, indeed, night supplants,but wickedness prevails not over Wisdom.Indeed, she reaches from end to end mightilyand governs all things well.

Gospel and//usccb.org/bible/luke/17:20 LK 17:20-25 Asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come,Jesus said in reply, The coming of the Kingdom of God cannot be observed,and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is,’ or, ‘There it is.’For behold, the Kingdom of God is among you.”Then he said to his disciples, The days will come when you will long to seeone of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.There will be those who will say to you,‘Look, there he is,’ or ‘Look, here he is.’Do not go off, do not run in pursuit.For just as lightning flashesand lights up the sky from one side to the other,so will the Son of Man be in his day.But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation.”
