Church Fathers by Saint Cyril ofJerusalem, page 190.
(02:35):
For us Christians, the firstvirtue of godliness is to honor
our parents, to pay back thetroubles of those who bore us,
and to give them whatevercomforts we can with all our
strength.
For if we repaid them as much aspossible, we could still never
pay them back for their gift oflife.
Then they will enjoy the comfortwe provide, and then won't our

Father in heaven accept our goodintentions and judge us worthy
to shine like the sun in thekingdom of our Father.

Readings for Holy Mass forThursday of the thirty second
week in ordinary time.
A reading from the Book ofWisdom, chapter seven, twenty
two through chapter eight.
(05:31):
In wisdom is a spirit,intelligent, holy, unique,
manifold, subtle, agile, clear,unstained, certain, not baneful,
loving the good, keen,unhampered, beneficent, kindly,
firm, secure, tranquil, allpowerful, all seeing, and
(05:54):
pervading all spirits, thoughthey be intelligent, pure, and
very subtle.
For wisdom is mobile beyond allmotion, and she penetrates and
pervades all things by reason ofher purity, for she is an aura
of the might of God, and apurifusion of the glory of the
Almighty.
Therefore, naught that issullied enters into her, for she
(06:18):
is the refulgence of eternallight, the spotless mirror of
the power of God, the image ofhis goodness, and she who is one
can do all things, and renewseverything while herself
perduring, and passing into holysouls from age to age, she
produces friends of God andprophets, for there is not God
(06:39):
loves, be it not one who dwellswith wisdom.
For she is fairer than the sunand surpasses every
constellation of the stars.
Compared to light she takesprecedence, for that indeed
knights the plants, butwickedness prevails not over
wisdom.
Indeed, she reaches from end toend mightily and governs all
(07:02):
things well.
