Daily Readings - October 12, 2011 - Wednesday

First Reading: Romans 2: 1:11
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 62: 2-3, 6-7, 9
Holy Gospel: Luke 11: 42-46


Holy Gospel:

42 A curse is on you, Pharisees; for the Temple you give a tenth of all, including mint and rue and the other herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. This ought to be practiced, without neglecting the other. 43 A curse is on you, Pharisees, for you love the best seats in the synagogues and to be greeted in the marketplace. 44A curse is on you for you are like tombstones of the dead which can hardly be seen; people don’t notice them and make themselves unclean by stepping on them.”

45 Then a teacher of the Law spoke up and said, “Master, when you speak like this, you insult us, too.” 46 And Jesus answered, “A curse is on you also, teachers of the Law. For you prepare unbearable burdens and load them on the people, while you yourselves don’t move a finger to help them.


First Reading:

1 Therefore, you have no excuse, who­ever you are, if you are able to judge others. For in judging your neighbor, you condemn yourself, for you practice what you are judging. 2 We know that the condemnation of God will justly reach those who commit these things, 3 and do you think that by condemning others you will escape from the judgment of God, you who are doing the same?

4 This would be taking advantage of God and his infinite goodness, patience and understand­ing, and not to realize that his goodness is in order to lead you to conversion. 5 If your heart becomes hard and you refuse to change, then you are storing for yourself a great punishment on the day of judgment, when God will appear as just judge.

6 He will give each one his due, according to his actions. 7 He will give everlasting life to those who seek glory, honor and immortality and persevere in doing good. 8 But anger and vengeance will be the lot of those who do not serve truth but injustice. 9 There will be suffering and anguish for everyone committing evil, first the Jew, then the Greek. 10 But God will give glory, honor and peace to whoever does good, first the Jew then the Greek, 11 because one is not different from the other before God.


Responsorial Psalm:
 
Lord, you give back to everyone according to his works.

2 My soul finds rest in God alone;
from him comes my salvation.

3 He alone is my rock and salvation;
with him as my stronghold,
I shall not be overcome.

6 Find rest in God alone, O my soul;
from him comes my hope.

7 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
with him as my stronghold,
I shall not be overcome.

9 Trust in him at all times, my people;
pour out your hearts before him;
God is our refuge.
