CHRIST IS BORN! GLORIFY HIM!
"For an impious and wicked person will not go unpunished because his
wickedness was unable to harm a righteous person. The long-suffering
and virtue of the righteous earn a reward not for the one who has
inflicted death and torture but for the one who has patently endured
what was inflicted upon him. Hence the latter will be deservedly
punished for his fierce cruelty because he desired to inflict evil,
while the former has endured nothing evil because, patiently
sustaining trials and sorrows in his strength of soul, he caused the
things that were inflicted upon him with bad intent to bring him to a
better state and to the blessedness of eternal life."
St. John Cassian.

"For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but
he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."
Galatians 6:8
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Bible reading for the 9th of Toba, January 18th, is:
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness
and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then His fame went
throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were
afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were
demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25
Great multitudes followed Him--from Galilee, and from Decapolis,
Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
5:1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He
was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and
taught them, saying: 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is
the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall
be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the
earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall
obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For
theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are you when they revile
and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for
My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward
in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 13
You are the salt of the earth; bu
t if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then
good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot
be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but
on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father in heaven. (Matt. 4:23-5:16)
