In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

Blessed Louis-Joseph Francois, C.M.
1. Born in 1751 in northern France, the
son of a farmer
Joined the Congregation of the
Mission when he finished his
secondary education
Worked in seminaries as professor
and superior
In 1786, at the end of the 15th
General Assembly, he was appointed
Secretary General
Famous as a preacher; some of his
sermons were printed and published.
When he spoke at the Tuesday
Conferences more than the usual
number of priests came to hear him.
LOUIS-JOSEPH FRANÇOIS
2. Appointed superior of the former
Collège des Bons Enfants, known as
Saint-Firmin at the time, in the summer
of 1788
Chosen as being someone who could
carry on, and complete, a program of
renewal there
A year after his appointment to Saint-
Firmin came the fall of the Bastille, on 14
July 1789; the mother-house of the
Congregation, Saint-Lazare, had been
attacked and vandalized the previous
evening.
In November of that year the National
Assembly voted that all Church property
be confiscated. François wrote and
published a pamphlet against this
decision.
SAINT-FIRMIN
3. The Civil Constitution of the Clergy
became law in July 1790. It stated
that the Pope had no authority in
France, and that bishops and
priests would be elected by a panel
of citizens.
January 9, 1791 was the day fixed
for all priests in Paris to take an
oath of fidelity to this Constitution.
François produced another
pamphlet before the end of
January, called Mon Apologie. It
explained why he would not take
the oath and why no priest should
take it; it went through at least
seven editions. He brought out six
other pamphlets in three months.
4. The number of priests who
refused to take the oath
surprised the authorities. The
authorities drew up an
Instruction, which they ordered
to be read in all churches;
François wrote another
pamphlet against it.
The authorities tried a new
approach, inviting all priests who
had not taken the oath to resign
their parishes or other posts and
to live in retirement on a State
pension. François immediately
brought out another pamphlet
called No Resignation.
5. All his pamphlets had great effect
on priests who were puzzled or
hesitant about the real
significance of the oaths, and
helped them to make up their
minds not to take the oaths. He
also paid attention to those who
had sworn, writing a pamphlet
called There is Still Time.
In November 1791 there was a
new form of the oath, with various
penalties for those refusing to
take it. The King refused to sign
this into law and François brought
out another pamphlet
supporting the king; it was his
last.
6. By 1792 there were, for
obvious reasons, no
seminarians in Saint-Firmin.
François had kept up good
relations with the civil
authorities in that part of
Paris, and because so much
of the seminary was empty he
let some rooms to the city
authorities as offices.
He made the rest of the rooms
available to refugee priests
who had fled from persecution
in their own districts.
7. On 10 August 1792 power in the
city of Paris was taken over by a
small radical group. They drew
up a list of all priests who had
not taken the oaths and decided
they would be imprisoned in the
Carmelite house in rue de
Vaugirard and in Saint-Firmin.
On the 13th a guard was placed
on Saint-Firmin and everyone
inside thus became a prisoner.
New prisoners were sent there
and by the end of August there
were definitely ninety-seven,
and possibly more, in the
seminary.
8. On the evening of 2 September the
butcher’s boy told them that all the priests
in the house were going to be massacred
the following day.
By that time about two hundred priests
imprisoned in the Carmelite house had
already been killed.
At 5.30 the next morning, 3 September,
the mob attacked Saint-Firmin. François
tried to plead with the civic officials, who
had offices in the building, for the lives of
the priests. Some of these men were
against killing priests, but some of the
mob went for François, because of the
trouble he had caused with his writings,
and threw him out of the window into the
street below, where a group of women
battered him to death with wooden clubs.
9. Seventy-two were killed in
the seminary that day, and
they were taken off and
buried secretly in different
unmarked graves.
It would appear that this
was not a random mob, but
a carefully organized group
who were paid to to do the
work.
10. “Fr. François was one of the most
zealous and best defenders of the
Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman religion
against the oath demanded from
priests by the French National
Assembly, and also against the
writings of those in favor of the oath.”
- Joseph Boullangier, the bursar in Saint-Firmin
who survived the Revolution
