so did job all days​

Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest,     so is my beloved among young men.

To sit in his shadow is my delight,     and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

Song 2: 3

July 15, 2026 Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, Latin Mass

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

By their fruits you shall know them.

Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.

Gospel Mt. 7: 15-20, Roman Catholic Daily Missal 1962

Then Job answered:

 “Today also my complaint is bitter,     his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.

Oh, that I knew where I might find him,     that I might come even to his seat!

I would lay my case before him     and fill my mouth with arguments. 

I would learn what he would answer me,     and understand what he would say to me.

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?

Job 23: 1-6

The footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will also carry you out.”

 Instantly, she fell down at his feet and died.

Acts 5: 9-10

Come to me, all you who are weary and overburdened, and I will give you rest.

 The young men came forward and wrapped up his body.

Then they carried him out and buried him.
