About the author of the Second Reading in today's Office of Readings:

Second Reading: John the Serene ( - 553?)

He was a bishop of Naples in the sixth century, but nothing else is known about him.

Liturgical colour: green

The theological virtue of hope is symbolized by the colour green, just as the burning fire of love is symbolized by red. Green is the colour of growing things, and hope, like them, is always new and always fresh. Liturgically, green is the colour of Ordinary Time, the orderly sequence of weeks through the year, a season in which we are being neither single-mindedly penitent (in purple) nor overwhelmingly joyful (in white).
Mid-morning reading (Terce)Wisdom 19:22
Lord, in every way you have made your people great and glorious. You have never disdained them, but stood by them always and everywhere.
Noon reading (Sext)Deuteronomy 4:7
What great nation is there that has its gods so near as the Lord our God is to us whenever we call to him?
Afternoon reading (None)Esther 10:3
The single nation, mine, is Israel, those who cried out to God and were saved. Yes, the Lord has saved his people, the Lord has delivered us from all these evils, God has worked such signs and great wonders as have never happened among the nations.
