Eph 6:10-18 Finally, grow strong in the Lord, with the strength of his power. Put on the full armour of God so as to be able to resist the devil’s tactics. For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and the ruling forces who are masters of

NOTE: We will take the Gospel that corresponds to the day (Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week of Ordinary Time), and not that of the Feast of Saint Simon and Jude Apostles, which is celebrated today. Lk 13:22-30 Through towns and villages he went teaching, making his way to Jerusalem. Someone said to him, ‘Sir, will there be
