Jesus began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented. "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For, if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you ,it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment thean for you. As for you, Capernaum:
Will you be exalted to heaven?! You will go down to the netherworld.
For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."
The Gospel of the Lord.
If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.
Today is the obligatory Memorial of Blessed Kateri Tekawitha, the daughter of a Mohawk warrior. She was baptized at the age of 20 by the Jesuits and lived austerely in piety near Montreal caring the sick and aged for four years enduring the hostility of her tribe and family dying at 24 in 1680. Blessed Kateri is known as "The Lily of the Mohawks". She and her work were unrecognized by her tribe and family for the last four years of her Christian life and since and now has been recognized by the Church for these 329 years.
If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.
