TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year B)

Wisdom 7:7-11

This Sunday, we will again hear from the Book of Wisdom. This book is known as the Wisdom of Solomon in the LXX manuscript and the Book of Wisdom in the Vulgate. It was most probably originally written in Greek, not Hebrew, somewhere between 100 – 50BC, probably in Alexandria, Egypt, one of the largest centers of the Jewish Diaspora, by an anonymous author. He was a devout, Greek-speaking Jew, acquainted with Greek philosophy and culture, probably a native of Alexandria. The purpose of the author was to strengthen […]

TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year B)

Genesis 2:18 – 24

This Sunday, we will hear the story of the creation of woman from the Book of Genesis. It has been quite a while since we have heard from this, the first book of the Bible, so let’s review the who, what, when, where, why and to whom of this most important book. We all remember that it derives its name from the Greek translation γενεσης of the first word of that book in Hebrew בראשית – both words mean “beginning. “In the beginning, God created…” we read.

TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year B)

Numbers 11:25 – 29

This Sunday, we will hear from the Book of Numbers. As usual, it is a passage that prepares us for the Gospel. And, as has been the case over the past few weeks, it is taken from a book that we have not heard from in a while, so let’s review the who, what, when, where, why and to whom. It is the fourth book in the Torah and derives its name from the Vulgate title, “Numeri” which is taken from the Greek αριθμοι. This Greek word […]
