About the author of the Second Reading in today's Office of Readings:
Mid-morning reading (Terce) | 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 |
---|---|
The language of the cross may be illogical to those who are not on the way to salvation, but those of us who are on the way see it as God’s power to save. As scripture says: I shall destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing all the learning of the learned.
|
Noon reading (Sext) | 1 Corinthians 1:22-24 |
---|---|
The Jews demand miracles and the Greeks look for wisdom, but we are preaching a crucified Christ; to the Jews an obstacle that they cannot get over, to the pagans madness, but to those who have been called, whether they are Jews or Greeks, a Christ who is the power and the wisdom of God.
|
Afternoon reading (None) | 1 Corinthians 1:25,27 |
---|---|
God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength. It was to shame the wise that God chose what is foolish by human reckoning.
