BLESSED BERNHARD LICHTENBERG
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 05, 2010
Blessed Bernhard Lichtenberg was a martyr of the Second World War. Born in1875, he was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Berlin, Germany. He served in the Cathedral of Berlin and was an outspoken critic of the Nazis and their anti-Semitic campaign.
He organized protests outside concentration camps, led public prayers for the Jews, and filed complaints against the party. Bernhard was arrested for these actions and imprisoned for two years. But this did not deter him.
After his release, he resumed his actions and criticisms against the Nazis. He was arrested again and sentenced to the Dachau concentration camp. He never arrived at the camp. He was killed Nov. 5, 1943 on the way to Dachau at the age of 67. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1996
ST. ELIZABETH
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 05, 2010
St. Elizabeth was the wife of Zachary and the mother of John the Baptist. She was a relative of Mary the Mother of God, though no one knows the exact biological relationship between them.
The Gospel of Luke states that St. Elizabeth had committed no evil in the eyes of God though she was barren for most of her life. She was advanced in age when the Angel Gabriel appeared to her husband Zachary in the temple to promise a son to them.
St. Elizabeth is most famous for the words of the “Hail Mary” which she uttered at feeling her child leap in her womb as Mary, then pregnant with Jesus, came to visit her cousin. However, there is no further mention of her in the bible after the birth and circumcision of her son John the Baptist

Feastday: November 5

British saint honored in Devon, France, as St. Quary. He is sometimes listed as Kay or Kenan. Kea was a bishop.

Psalm - Ps 122:1-5
1 A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”2 Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.3 Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.4 For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.5 For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.
First Reading - Phil 3:17-4:1
17 Be imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.1 And so, my most beloved and most desired brothers, my joy and my crown: stand firm in this way, in the Lord, most beloved
Gospel - Lk 16:1-8
1 And he also said to his disciples: “A certain man was wealthy, and he had a steward of his estate. And this man was accused to him of having dissipated his goods.2 And he called him and said to him: ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship. For you can no longer be my steward.’3 And the steward said within himself: ‘What shall I do? For my lord is taking the stewardship away from me. I am not strong enough to dig. I am too ashamed to beg.4 I know what I will do so that, when I have been removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.’5 And so, calling together each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my lord?’6 So he said, ‘One hundred jars of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your invoice, and quickly, sit down and write fifty.’7 Next, he said to another, ‘In truth, how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘One hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your record books, and write eighty.’8 And the lord praised the iniquitous steward, in that he had acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent with their generation than are the sons of light.
