Daily Readings - October 13, 2011 - Thursday
Our Lady of Fatima (13th Apparition of our Lady)
First Reading: Romans 3: 21 - 30
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 130: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6
Holy Gospel: Luke 11: 47 - 54
Holy Gospel:
47 A curse is on you, for you build memorials to the prophets your ancestors killed. 48 So you approve and agree with what your ancestors did. Is it not so? They got rid of the prophets, and now you can build!”
49 (The Wisdom of God also said,) “I will send prophets and apostles and this people will kill and persecute some of them. 50 But the present generation will have to answer for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was murdered between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, the people of this time will have to answer for them all.
52 A curse is on you, teachers of the Law, for you have taken the key of knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you prevented others from entering.”
53 As Jesus left that place, the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to harass him, 54 asking him endless questions, setting traps to catch him in something he might say.
First Reading:
21 But, now it has been revealed altogether apart from the Law, as it was already foretold in the Law and the Prophets: 22 God makes us righteous by means of faith in Jesus Christ, and this is applied to all who believe, without distinction of persons. 23 Because all have sinned and all fall short of the Glory of God; 24 and all are graciously forgiven and made righteous through the redemption effected in Christ Jesus. 25 For God has given him to be the victim whose blood obtains us forgiveness through faith.
So God shows us how he makes us righteous. Past sins are forgiven which God overlooked till now. 26 For now he wants to reveal his way of righteousness: how he is just and how he makes us righteous through faith in Jesus.
27 Then what becomes of our pride? It is excluded. How? Not through the Law and its observances, but through another law which is faith. 28 For we hold that people are in God’s grace by faith and not because of all the things ordered by the Law. 29 Otherwise, God would be the God of the Jews; but is he not God of pagan nations as well? 30 Of course he is, for there is only one God and he will save by faith the circumcised Jews as well as the uncircumcised nations.
Responsorial Psalm
With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption.
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.
