Tuesday Holy Communion

St. Hugh of Lincoln 

He shall blossom as the lily &
strike root as the poplar;
his beauty shall be like the olive-trees,
& his fragrance like the cedars.

Cf. Hosea 14.5, 6

O Come. Let Us Worship.

Scriptures: 
Ephesians 4.1–16
Psalm 112.4–9
Matthew 24.42–47

The righteous are full of compassion.

Hugh’s symbols are a swan, for monastic tranquility, a Star of David in the crook of a crozier for his defense of the Jews, and a chalice with the Christ-child and the host, as the pledge and seal of his priestly vocation.
