Then none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another. For who sees anything different in you? What have you that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift? Already you are filled. Already you have become rich. Without us you have become kings and wood that you did reign so that we might share the rule with you. For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all,

1:04like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly clothed and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled we bless, when persecuted we endure. When slandered we try to conciliate. We have become and are now as the refuse of the world, the drags of all things. I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ,

2:06you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Psalm 145 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.

3:06On a Sabbath, while Jesus was going through the grain fields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, why are you doing what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath? And Jesus answered, have you not read what David did when he was hungry? He and those who were with him, how he entered the house of God and took an eight, the show bread, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat and also gave it to those with him. And he said to them, the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. What is the Lord saying to you today through these scriptures?

4:14What can you now say to the Lord in response to his word? What conversion of mind, heart, and life is the Lord asking of you today? What is the Lord's word? What is the Lord's word? What is the Lord's word? What is the Lord's word? What is the Lord's word? Spend a few moments in silence, resting in the presence of the Lord.

5:22What is the Lord's word? Spend a few moments in silence, resting in the presence of the Lord. Spend a few moments in silence, nourished by God's word. What is one specific way that you can go forth and make your life a gift for others? What is one specific way that you can go forth? Spend a few moments in silence, resting in the presence of the Lord. What is one specific way that you can go forth? What is the Lord's word? Spend a few moments in silence, resting in the presence of the Lord. Thank you for listening to these daily mass readings.
