Today we remember Saint Samson of Dol (c. 485-565, A.K.A. Samson of York), bishop: Saint-link & Wikipedia-link.
Scripture of the Day
Personal Reading
The Book of Obadiah;
The First Letter to the Corinthians, chapter fifteen.
Commntary: The Book of Obadiah has no chapters & just twenty-one verses, introduced in my Bible as containing "the shortest & sternest prophecy in the Old Testament." Every now & again I crave exactly such unflinching reminders of what fate awaits me if I do not embrace more consistently & profoundly the transformational message of the New Testament, in Ray Stantz's phrase the "real Wrath-of-God-type stuff!"
1 Corinthians, 15 is as long as 1 Corinthians, 13 is short, with a robust fifty-eight verses versus a scant thirteen.
Mass Readings
The Book of Exodus, chapter thirty-three, verses seven thru eleven & chapter thirty-four, verses five(B) thru nine, twenty-eight;
Psalm One Hundred Three, verses six thru thirteen;
The Gospel according to Matthew, chapter thirteen, verses thirty-six thru forty-three.
