Third Sunday of Lent, Year B, Second Reading (1 Corinthians 22-25)

22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. As the biblical

Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), Year A, Second Reading (1 Corinthians 10:16-17)

16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf. This Sunday is the feast of

Sixth Sunday, Ordinary Time, Year A, Second Reading (1 Corinthians 2:6-10)

6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if

Third Sunday, Ordinary TIme, Year A, Second Reading (1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17)

10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels

6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, Commentary on the Second Reading (1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20)

12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? … 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your
