Lesson from the book of Wisdom
!Wis 10:10-17.
The Lord guided the just in direct ways, showed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things; He prospered him in his labors and made abundant the fruit of his works, stood by him against the greed of his defrauders, and enriched him; He preserved him from foes, and secured him against ambush, and He gave him the prize for his stern struggle that he mighty recognize that devotion to God is mightier than all else. He did not abandon the just man when he was sold, but delivered him from sin. He went down with him into the dungeon, and did not desert him in his bonds, until He brought him the scepter of royalty and authority over his oppressors, showed those who had defamed him false, and gave him eternal glory. The holy people and blameless race - it was He Who delivered them from the nation that oppressed them. He entered the soul of God’s servant, and withstood fearsome kings with signs and portents. He gave the holy ones the recompense of their labors.

[Evangelium]
Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
!Luke 6:6-11.
At that time, it came to pass on another Sabbath, that Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there and his right hand was withered. And the Scribes and the Pharisees were watching whether He cured on the Sabbath, that they might find how to accuse Him. But He knew their thoughts, and He said to the man with the withered hand, Arise and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth. But Jesus said to them, I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save a life, or to destroy it? And having looked around upon them all, He said to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth, and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury, and began to discuss among themselves what they should do to Jesus.

For a tree there is hope, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again and that its tender shoots will not cease.
