Lectio

The Third Letter of Saint John 1: 5-8

1:5	dilectissime, you should act faithfully in whatever you do for the brothers, and those who are sojourners;
1:6	they have given testimony to your charity in the sight of the Church. You would to well to lead these ones worthily to God.
1:7	For they set out, on behalf of his name, accepting nothing from the unbelievers.
1:8	Ergo, we must accept such as these, in order that we may cooperate with the truth.

Evangelium'

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam 18: 1-8

18:1	Dicebat autem eis parabolam, ut jugiter oremus et non desinamus,
18:2	dicens: Judex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timuit et hominem non reverebitur.
18:3	Vidua autem quædam erat in civitate illa, et ivit ad eum, dicens, Item 'Vindica me de adversario meo.'
18:4	Et nolebat per multum tempus. Sed postea, dixit intra se: 'Si Deum non timeo', nec hominem revereor,
18:5	sed quia molesta est mihi haec vidua, Iudicabo eam, ne regrediendo, ut, in termino, me defatige." "
18:6	Dixit autem Dominus: "Audi quid judex iniquus dixit.".
18:7	Sic igitur, Deus non dabit vindictam electorum suorum, clamantes ad eum die ac nocte? aut perseverabit eos?
18:8	Dico vobis: Cito faciet illis vindictam. Sed vere, quando filius hominis redit, an putatis quod fidem in terra inveniet??"
