Book of Wisdpm (Wis 7: 22b — 8: 1)
Wisdom is the refulgence of eternal light, the spotless mirror of the power of God.
In Wisdom is a spirit
intelligent, 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 God
and a pure effusion of the glory of the Almighty;
therefore 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 perduring;
And 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 sun
and surpasses every constellation of the stars.
Compared to light, she takes precedence;
for that, indeed, night supplants,
but wickedness prevails not over Wisdom.
Indeed, she reaches from end to end mightily
and governs all things well.
— The word of the Lord.
Resonsorial Psalm
Ps 119: 89, 90, 91, 130, 135, 175
Your word is for ever, O Lord.
Your word, O LORD, endures forever;
it is firm as the heavens.
Through all generations your truth endures;
you have established the earth, and it stands firm.
According to your ordinances they still stand firm:
all things serve you.
The revelation of your words sheds light,
giving understanding to the simple.
Let your countenance shine upon your servant,
and teach me your statutes.
Let my soul live to praise you,
and may your ordinances help me.
Gospel
Alleluia, alleluia.
I am the vine, you are the branches, says the Lord: whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke (Lk 17: 20-25)
The Kingdom of God is among you.
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 see
one 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 flashes
and 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.”

First Reading
Book of Wisdom (Wis 6: 1-11)
Hear, O kings, and understand, that you may learn wisdom.
Hear, O kings, and understand;
learn, you magistrates of the earth’s expanse!
Hearken, you who are in power over the multitude
and lord it over throngs of peoples!
Because authority was given you by the Lord
and sovereignty by the Most High,
who shall probe your works and scrutinize your counsels.
Because, though you were ministers of his kingdom, you judged not rightly,
and did not keep the law,
nor walk according to the will of God,
Terribly and swiftly shall he come against you,
because judgment is stern for the exalted–
For the lowly may be pardoned out of mercy
but the mighty shall be mightily put to the test.
For the Lord of all shows no partiality,
nor does he fear greatness,
Because he himself made the great as well as the small,
and he provides for all alike;
but for those in power a rigorous scrutiny impends.
To you, therefore, O princes, are my words addressed
that you may learn wisdom and that you may not sin.
For those who keep the holy precepts hallowed shall be found holy,
and those learned in them will have ready a response.
Desire therefore my words;
long for them and you shall be instructed.
— The word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 82: 3-4, 6-7
Rise up, O God, bring judgment to the earth.
Defend the lowly and the fatherless;
render justice to the afflicted and the destitute.
Rescue the lowly and the poor;
from the hand of the wicked deliver them.
I said: “You are gods,
all of you sons of the Most High;
yet like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”
Gospel
Alleluia, alleluia.
In all circumstances, give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke (Lk 17: 11-19)
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?
As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem,
he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him.
They stood at a distance from him and raised their voice, saying,
“Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!”
And when he saw them, he said,
“Go show yourselves to the priests.”
As they were going they were cleansed.
And one of them, realizing he had been healed,
returned, glorifying God in a loud voice;
and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.
He was a Samaritan.
Jesus said in reply,
“Ten were cleansed, were they not?
Where are the other nine?
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”
Then he said to him,
“Stand up and go;
your faith has saved you.”

In early Christian life: according to the teachings of Jesus, what the Apostles taught is not contrary to them. Let everyone submit to the authorities, for there is no authority that does not come from God, but everything that exists is appointed by Him. Catechesis on the Church, the family and politics, in collaboration with P. Abdon Rafidison.

Jesus did not accept the oppressive and tyrannical power exercised by the rulers of their country (Mk 10:42). Jesus did not hesitate to denounce the injustice of rulers. An example of this can be seen in his relationship with Herod "... go and tell that wolf: here I cast out demons and heal the sick...".
