Wisdom 7: 22b - 8: 1

22for Wisdom, the artisan of all, taught me. Nature and Incomparable Dignity of Wisdom - For in her is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique, Manifold, subtle, agile, clear, unstained, certain, Never harmful, loving the good, keen, 23unhampered, beneficent, kindly, Firm, secure, tranquil, all-powerful, all-seeing, And pervading all spirits, though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle. 24For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion, and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity. 25For she is a breath of the might of God and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty; therefore nothing defiled can enter into her. 26For she is the reflection of eternal light, the spotless mirror of the power of God, the image of his goodness. 27Although she is one, she can do all things, and she renews everything while herself perduring; Passing into holy souls from age to age, she produces friends of God and prophets. 28For God loves nothing so much as the one who dwells with Wisdom. 29For she is fairer than the sun and surpasses every constellation of the stars. Compared to light, she is found more radiant; 30though night supplants light, wickedness does not prevail over Wisdom. 1Indeed, she spans the world from end to end mightily and governs all things well.
Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 119: 89, 90, 91, 130, 135, 175

89Lamedh - Your word, LORD, stands forever; it is firm as the heavens. 90Through all generations your truth endures; fixed to stand firm like the earth. 91By your judgments they stand firm to this day, for all things are your servants. 130The revelation of your words sheds light, gives understanding to the simple. 135Let your face shine upon your servant; teach me your statutes. 175Let my soul live to praise you; may your judgments give me help.
Alleluia

John 15: 5

5I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.
Gospel

Luke 17: 20-25

20The Coming of the Kingdom of God. Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he said in reply, “The coming of the kingdom of God cannot be observed, 21and no one will announce, ‘Look, here it is,’ or, ‘There it is.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is among you.” 22The Day of the Son of Man. Then he said to his disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23There 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. 24For just as lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be [in his day]. 25But first he must suffer greatly and be rejected by this generation.
