First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

1 Thessalonians 1:1-5, 8-10 Psalm 149:1-6, 9 Matthew 23:13-22

Question the beauty of the earth, question the beauty of the sea, question the beauty of the air distending and diffusing itself, question the beauty of the sky. . . question all these realities. All respond: "See, we are beautiful." Their beauty is a profession [confessio]. These beauties are subject to change. Who made them if not the Beautiful One [Pulcher] who is not subject to change?
-- St. Augustine
