Daily Readings - August 10, 2011 - Wednesday
Saint Lawrence, Martyr
First Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:6-10
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 112:1-2, 5-6, 7-8, 9
Holy Gospel: John 12: 24-26
Holy Gospel:
24 Truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.
25 Those who love their life destroy it, and those who despise their life in this world keep it for everlasting life.
26 Whoever wants to serve me, let him follow me and wherever I am, there shall my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
First Reading:
6 Remember: the one who sows meagerly will reap meagerly, and there shall be generous harvests for the one who sows generously. 7 Each of you should give as you decided personally, and not reluctantly as if obliged. God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to fill you with every good thing, so that you have enough of everything at all times, and may give abundantly for any good work.
9 Scripture says: He distributed, he gave to the poor, his good works last forever. 10 God who provides the sower with seed will also provide him with the bread he eats. He will multiply the seed for you and also increase the interests of your good works.
Responsorial Psalm:
1 Alleluia!
Blessed is the one who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his commands.
2 His children will be powerful on earth;
the upright’s offspring will be blessed.
5 It will be well with him who lends freely,
who leads a life of justice and honesty.
6 For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered and loved forever.
7 He has no fear of evil news,
for his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is confident, he needs not fear,
he shall prevail over his foes at the end.
9 He gives generously to the poor,
his merits will last forever
and his head will be raised in honor.
