Gospel, Saint, today's prayer 30 October

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke 13,10-17.
At that time, Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on Saturday.
There was a woman there who for eighteen years had a spirit that kept her sick; she was bent and could not straighten up in any way.
Jesus saw her, called her to him and said to her: «Woman, you are free from your infirmity»,
and laid his hands on her. Immediately she straightened up and glorified God.
But the head of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had performed that healing on Saturday, addressing the crowd said: «There are six days in which one must work; therefore in those you come to be treated and not on the Sabbath day ».
The Lord replied: "Hypocrites, do you not dissolve each of you the ox or the donkey from the manger on Saturday, to lead him to drink?"
And wasn't this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept tied for eighteen years, to be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day? ».
When he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed, while the whole crowd cheered for all the wonders he had accomplished.

TRIDUUM
I. DAY
Consider how the B. Angelo from childhood, with the help of Divine grace, began the career of holiness, which he then happily reached, through the devotion to the Mother of God, and his pains, as well as the passion of his Son Jesus Christ. To this devotion he added penance, which was proportionate to his age: he attended the Blessed Sacraments: he fled the wicked occasions: he faithfully obeyed his Parents: he respected the Churches, and the Sacred Ministers: he waited at the Oration, so as a young boy, he was regarded by the people as a saint. And He, being a man, lived as a holy Angel.

Angelo, who, aiming from above, see how great our weakness in the exercise of virtues is, and how great is the propensity we have towards evil; deh ..! move with compassion for us, and pray to the Lord to give us the graces necessary to love the true good, and to flee all that is sinful. Give us again the grace to imitate you in the holy operations, to be one day in your company in Heaven. So be it.

II. DAY.
Consider how the B. Angelo illuminated by Divine grace, knew how vain all things in the world are, and helped by grace itself he despised them with all his heart, as unworthy things to be loved, because they are not present. Therefore he had nothing at all riches, honors, offices, dignity, and all worldly delights, loving poverty, abjection, penance, and whatever else the world flees, and abhors, so as not to know its dignity and value. He loved God with all his heart, and all the things that give taste to God, so that day by day he was growing more and more in Divine love, and in all virtues, which are now crowned in Heaven.

PRAYER.
O B. Angelo pray to the Lord for us, that with his grace he will detach us from the vanities of the world in order to love him only with all our heart, to exercise ourselves in the virtues for his love continuously, in order to freely serve him in this mortal life , we may one day be in your company to praise him for all eternity in Paradise. And so be it.

III. DAY.
Consider how the B. Angelo was always applied to dilate the glory of God. To this end his thoughts, his desires, and his operations were directed. In order for God to be glorified, he paid no attention to the labors, sweats, and sufferings required for the conversion of sinners, and for the perseverance of the righteous for good. To the glory of God he referred the marvelous ecstasies, thus persevering until the last moment of his life, which ended by the strength of Divine love, praising, and blessing God, who even after death made him glorious by miracles.

3 Fathers, Aves, Glory

PRAYER.
O B. Angelo, who in this world you waited with all your heart to dilate the glory of God, and God with his gifts made you the amazement of the people, for the many wonders performed at your intercession and for your prayers: oh. ! Now that you are crowned with glory in Heaven, pray for us miserable mortals, so that the Lord may give us the grace to love him with all the strength of the spirit for as long as we live, and give us the final perseverance, so that we can be one day to enjoy it. in your company. So be it.
