Today's Mass Reading from the Bible - OCT/29/2010

Philippians 1: 1 - 11

1.Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philip'pi, with the bishops and deacons:
2.Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3.I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
4.always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy,
5.thankful for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
6.And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
7.It is right for me to feel thus about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.
8.For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9.And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,
10.so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
11.filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.


Psalms 111: 1 - 6

1.Praise the LORD. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
2.Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3.Full of honor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures for ever.
4.He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful.
5.He provides food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.
6.He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

Luke 14: 1 - 6

1.One sabbath when he went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him.
2.And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy.
3.And Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?"
4.But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go.
5.And he said to them, "Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on a sabbath day?"
6.And they could not reply to this.


Saint for the Day -- St. John Vianney

Alas, what about you poor children! Being your spiritual father, I give you this advice: When you see your parents, who miss religious services, who work on Sunday, who eat meat on forbidden days, who do not go to the Sacraments anymore, who do not improve their minds on religious matters--do the very opposite before them, so that your good example may save them, and if you are wise and good enough to do this, you will have gained everything. That is what I most desire for you.

Have a Blessed Day, God Bless...
