Daily Readings - August 15, 2011 - Monday

Solemnity of the Assumption of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary
First Reading: 1 Chronicles 15:3-4, 15-16; 16:1-2
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 45:10, 11, 12, 16
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:54-57
Holy Gospel: Luke 11:27-28


Holy Gospel:

 27 As Jesus was speaking, a woman spoke from the crowd and said to him, “Blessed is the one who bore you and nursed you!” 28 Jesus replied, “Surely blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it as well.”


Second Reading:

54 When our perishable being puts on imperishable life, when our mortal being puts on immortality, the word of Scripture will be fulfilled: Death has been swallowed up by victory. 55 Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?

56 Sin is the sting of death to kill, and the Law is what gives force to sin. 57 But give thanks to God who gives us the victory through Christ Jesus, our Lord.


First Reading:

3 Then David gathered all Israel together in Jerusalem to bring the ark of God up to the place he had prepared for it. 4 David called together the sons of Aaron and the sons of Levi: 15 and the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had ordered according to the command of Yahweh.

16 David then told the leaders of the Levites to assign duties for some Levites to sing and
play a joyful tune with their various musical instruments: harps and lyres and cymbals.

16.1 They brought the ark of God in and put it inside the tent that David had prepared for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings to God. And when David had finished offering the sacrifices, he blessed the people in the name of Yah­weh. He then distributed to all the Israelites, men and women, a loaf of bread each, a piece of roasted meat, and a raisin cake.


Responsorial Psalm:

10 In the great assembly I have proclaimed your saving help. My lips, O Lord, I did not seal – you know that very well.

11 I have not locked up in my heart your saving help, but have spoken about it – your deliverance and your faithfulness;
I have made no secret of your truth and of your kindness in the great assembly.

12 Do not withhold from me, O Lord, your mercy; let your love and faithfulness preserve me constantly.

16 May those who taunt me with, “Aha, aha!” be filled with shame and consternation.
