Liturgical Year C

First Reading - Eph 4: 1-6





1 And so, as a prisoner in the Lord, I beg you to walk in a manner worthy of the vocation to which you have been called:

2 with all humility and meekness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.

3 Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit within the bonds of peace.

4 One body and one Spirit: to this you have been called by the one hope of your calling:

5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.

Liturgical Year C

Psalm - Ps 24: 1-4b, 5-6





1 For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

4 The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain

5 He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Saviour.

6 This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

Liturgical Year C

Gospel - Lk 12: 54-59





54 And he also said to the crowds: “When you see a cloud rising from the setting of the sun, immediately you say, ‘A rain cloud is coming.’ And so it does.

55 And when a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘It will be hot.’ And so it is.

56 You hypocrites! You discern the face of the heavens, and of the earth, yet how is it that you do not discern this time?

57 And why do you not, even among yourselves, judge what is just?

58 So, when you are going with your adversary to the ruler, while you are on the way, make an effort to be freed from him, lest perhaps he may lead you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison.

59 I tell you, you will not depart from there, until you have paid the very last coin.”

Daily Readings for Friday October 22, 2010


Reading 1, Eph 4:1-6

1 I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you therefore to lead a life worthy of the vocation to which you were called.



2 With all humility and gentleness, and with patience, support each other in love.



3 Take every care to preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together.



4 There is one Body, one Spirit, just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God.



5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,



6 and one God and Father of all, over all, through all and within all.



Gospel, Lk 12:54-59

54 He said again to the crowds, 'When you see a cloud looming up in the west you say at once that rain is coming, and so it does.



55 And when the wind is from the south you say it's going to be hot, and it is.



56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the face of the earth and the sky. How is it you do not know how to interpret these times?



57 'Why not judge for yourselves what is upright?



58 For example: when you are going to court with your opponent, make an effort to settle with him on the way, or he may drag you before the judge and the judge hand you over to the officer and the officer have you thrown into prison.



59 I tell you, you will not get out till you have paid the very last penny.'
