3. Wiki on the three scripture readings

Similar to Wikepedia, let's try a brief Wiki on the three scripture passages.

You can add any information on the exegesis of the passages that helps us learn more about these passages.

You can also add items on how these passages reveal God to us especially in terms of being poor or affluent!

I'll add one entry to start. Let's see where this goes!

Revelations 3:15-16: Halfhearted commitment to Faith is considered nauseating to Christ. This is in reference to Romans 12:11 which says "Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord."

St. Thomas More wrote a famous prayer against being lukewarm in faith that likely refers to these passages.

“ Take from me, good Lord, this lukewarm fashion, or rather key-cold manner, of meditation, and this dullness in praying unto Thee. And give me warmth, delight, and quickness in thinking upon Thee, and give me Thy grace to long for Thine holy sacraments, and specially to rejoice in the presence of Thy very blessed body, sweet Savior Christ, in the holy sacrament of the altar. Make us all, good Lord, virtually participant of the holy sacrament this day, and every day make us all lively members, sweet Savior Christ, of Thine holy mystical body, Thy Catholic Church."
