Tuesday
of the Thirtieth week in Ordinary Time
Fr. Aelred:
Today’s Reading from the Letter to the Romans is about the expectation of glory. For St. Paul salvation means final salvation, that is, it includes the glorification of our bodies. And he pictures the whole of creation eagerly awaiting the glories revealing of the sons and daughters of God. But not only the creation awaits it – we ourselves grain inwardly as we wait in hope.
First Reading, Romans 8:18-25.
Brothers and sisters: I consider that the sufferings of this
present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.
For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God;for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope
that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Gospel: Lule 13:18-21
Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I
compare it?. . .
