CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Monday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time 10.29.18 – USCCB/NABRE
“Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath. … a woman was there who for eighteen years
had been crippled by a spirit … bent over, completely incapable of standing erect. When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, ‘Woman, you are set free of your infirmity.’ He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and Glorified God. … the leader of the synagogue [was] indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath …. The Lord said … ‘Hypocrites! … This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?'”
