20. Oktober
Hl. Johannes von Kenty, Bekenner
Dienstag nach dem 21. Sonntag nach Pfingsten
Am heutigen Tag feiert der traditionelle römische Kalender (1962) das Fest des heiligen Johannes von Kenty, Bekenner. Johannes wurde um das Jahr 1390 in Kęty, einer kleinen Stadt in Polen, geboren. Nach einem akademisch hervorragenden Studium an der Universität Krakau wurde er dort Professor und später Priester. Sein Leben war geprägt von einer tiefen Liebe zur Wissenschaft, aber zugleich auch von einer großen persönlichen Demut und caritativen Wirksamkeit. Johannes war bekannt für seine Frömmigkeit, Strenge gegen sich selbst und überaus großzügige Mildtätigkeit gegenüber den Armen. Selbst im Ruf großer Gelehrsamkeit stehend, blieb er dennoch stets bescheiden und verteidigte unbeirrt die katholische Lehre.
Sein Fest findet auf dem traditionellen Kalender heute, am 20. Oktober, einen festen Platz. Der heilige Johannes von Kenty zeigte, wie man als Gelehrter und Priester ein tief geistliches Leben führen und zum Vorbild der christlichen Demut und Nächstenliebe werden kann. Er starb 1473 in Krakau. Viele Wunder und Heilungen wurden nach seinem Tod auf seine Fürsprache hin berichtet, was zu seiner Verehrung beitrug. Papst Clemens XIII. sprach ihn 1767 heilig, und die traditionelle Kirche ehrt ihn besonders als Patron der Lehrer, Priester und der Universitäten. Der liturgische Rang als Fest III. Klasse unterstreicht sein vorbildhaftes, aber volksnahes Heiligenleben.

LessonIac 2:12-17
Latein
Léctio Epístolæ beáti Iacóbi Apóstoli
Iac 2:12-17
Carissimi: Sic loquímini, et sic fácite sicut per legem libertátis incipiéntes iudicári. Iudícium enim sine misericórdia illi, qui non fecit misericórdiam: superexáltat autem misericórdia iudícium. Quid próderit, fratres mei, si fidem quis dicat se habére, ópera autem non hábeat? Numquid poterit fides salváre eum? Si autem frater et soror nudi sint, et indígeant victu quotidiáno, dicat autem áliquis ex vobis illis: Ite in pace, calefacímini et saturámini: non dedéritis autem eis, quæ necessária sunt córpori, quid próderit? Sic et fides, si non hábeat ópera, mórtua est in semetípsa.
℟. Deo grátias.

Lesson from the letter of St James the Apostle
James 2:12-17
Dearly beloved: So speak and so act as men about to be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to him who has not shown mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgment. What will it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but does not have works? Can the faith save him? And if a brother or a sister be naked and in want of daily food, and one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, yet you do not give them what is necessary for the body, what does it profit? So faith too, unless it has works, is dead in itself.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Luc 12:35-40
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus discípulis suis: Sint lumbi vestri præcíncti, et lucernæ ardéntes in mánibus vestris, et vos símiles homínibus exspectántibus dóminum suum, quando revertátur a núptiis: ut, cum vénerit et pulsáverit, conféstim apériant ei. Beáti servi illi, quos, cum vénerit dóminus, invénerit vigilántes: amen, dico vobis, quod præcínget se, et fáciet illos discúmbere, et tránsiens ministrábit illis. Et si vénerit in secúnda vigília, et si in tértia vigília vénerit, et ita invénerit, beáti sunt servi illi. Hoc autem scitóte, quóniam, si sciret paterfamílias, qua hora fur veníret, vigiláret útique, et non síneret pérfodi domum suam. Et vos estóte paráti, quia, qua hora non putátis, Fílius hóminis véniet.

℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Luke 12:35-40
At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, Let your loins be girt about and your lamps burning, and you yourselves like men waiting for their master’s return from the wedding; so that when he comes and knocks, they may straight-way open to him. Blessed are those servants whom the master, on his return, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, he will gird himself, and will make them recline at table, and will come and serve them. And if he comes in the second watch, and if in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants! But of this be assured, that if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would certainly have watched, and not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because at an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man is coming.
