Daily Readings - October 20, 2011 - Thursday
First Reading: Romans 6: 19-23
Responsorial Psalm: 1: 1-2, 3,4,6
Holy Gospel: Luke 12: 49-53
Holy Gospel:
49 I have come to bring fire upon the earth and how I wish it were already kindled; 50 but I have a baptism to undergo and what anguish I feel until it is over!
51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 From now on, in one house five will be divided; three against two, and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter in law against her mother-in-law.”
First Reading:
19 you see that I speak in a very human way, taking into account that you are not fully mature.
There was a time when you let your members be slaves of impurity and disorder, walking in the way of sin; convert them now into servants of righteousness, to the point of becoming holy.
20 When you were slaves of sin, you did not feel under obligation to righteousness, 21 but what were the fruits of those actions of which you are now ashamed? Such things bring death. 22 Now, however, you have been freed from sin and serve God. You are bearing fruit and growing in holiness, and the result will be life everlasting. 23 So on one side is Sin: its reward, death; on the other side is God: he gives us, by grace, life everlasting in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Responsorial Psalm:
1 Blessed is the one
who does not go where the wicked gather,
or stand in the way of sinners,
or sit where the scoffers sit!
2 Instead, he finds delight in the law of the Lord
and meditates day and night
on his commandments.
3 He is like a tree beside a brook
producing its fruit in due season,
its leaves never withering.
Everything he does is a success.
4 But it is different with the wicked.
They are like chaff
driven away by the wind.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous
but cuts off the way of the wicked.
