13 Sunday in Ordinary time

†he homilist choose to preach on the first reading – from the book of Wisdom which was written in Greek around 150 years before Christ (the “Appocrypha”, books written in Greek, are on the left side of the tabernacle in Our Altar bible). It is an attempt to reconcile Jewish theology with Greek philosophy which was language and the reasoning of culture in those days. This particular passage deals with Death.
