2 Septuagesima Sunday Contemporary Rite p. 63 Penitential Rite, p. 66 Entrance Hymn V. Happy those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, nor go the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers. Rather, the law of the Lord is their joy; God s law they study day and night. R. They are like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in due season; Its leaves never wither; whatever they do prospers. V. Glory be... R. As it was A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah. Jer 17:5-8 Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the one who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a barren bush in the desert that enjoys no change of season, but stands in a lava waste, a salt and empty earth. Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is in the Lord. He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: it fears not the heat when it comes; its leaves stay green; in the year of drought is shows no distress, but still bears fruit. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Gradual Blessed are they who hope in the Lord. (Psalm 1) Sts. Theodolous and Julian February 17 St. Theodulus and St. Julian suffered at Caesarea in Palestine immediately after the five Egyptians. Theodulus, a wise and pious old man, occupied one of the most honourable positions in the household of Firmilian, the governor of Palestine, who held him in great esteem. After witnessing the fortitude and patience of the five saints, he visited the prison and held the martyrs up as examples to encourage the other confessors and to prepare them for a similar ordeal. Firmilian was so furious at this action on the part of his old servant that he sent for him, reproached him sternly for his ingratitude and, without hearing his defence, condemned him to be crucified. Theodulus received the sentence gladly, and went joyfully to a form of death which so closely resembled that of his Saviour and by means of which he would speedily be united with Him. Julian, who shared his triumph, was only a catechumen, held in great honour by the faithful on account of his exemplary character. He had been absent from Caesarea and had scarcely arrived back when he was informed of the sufferings and of the execution of the martyrs which had just been taking place. At once he ran to the spot, and finding that all was over he expressed his veneration by kissing and embracing the bodies of the saints. The guards apprehended him and took him to the governor, who, perceiving that he was as determined as the rest, wasted no time in useless cross-examination but immediately ordered him to be burnt. Julian thanked God for the honor, and asked Him to accept his life as a voluntary sacrifice. His cheerfulness whilst he was being tortured by slow fire amazed his executioners and the spectators.. ~From traditionalcatholic.net. A reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians. 1 Cor 15:12, Brothers and sisters: If Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If only for this life we have hoped in Christ, we are the most pitiable people of all. But now, Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory. A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. Lk 6:17, Jesus came down with the Twelve and stood on a stretch of level ground with a great crowd of His disciples and a large number of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon. And, raising His eyes toward His disciples he said: Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way. But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for the ancestors treated the false prophets in this way. This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise be to You, Jesus Christ.

Translated, this means 70 days before Lent, however that is a rough estimation. Let us use this season to ease our way into Lenten penitence by beginning to reflect on how we can best observe Lent with our family, friends, and ourselves. Have a blessed week! Have a blessed week! Fr. John Prayer of St. Michael Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
