Gospel of the Day: LK 11:29-32
From the gospel verse according to Luke.
When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.
The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.”

An optional celebration on this day is the Memorial of Saint John XXIII, Pope.
