Daily Readings for Friday November 19, 2010


Reading 1, Rv 10:8-11

8 Then I heard the voice I had heard from heaven speaking to me again. 'Go', it said, 'and take that open scroll from the hand of the angel standing on sea and land.'



9 I went to the angel and asked him to give me the small scroll, and he said, 'Take it and eat it; it will turn your stomach sour, but it will taste as sweet as honey.'



10 So I took it out of the angel's hand, and I ate it and it tasted sweet as honey, but when I had eaten it my stomach turned sour.



11 Then I was told, 'You are to prophesy again, this time against many different nations and countries and languages and kings.'


Psalm - Ps 119:14,24,72,103,11,131

14 I have been delighted in the way of your testimonies, as if in all riches.24 For your testimonies are also my meditation, and your justifications are my counsel.72 The law of your mouth is good for me, beyond thousands of gold and silver pieces.103 How sweet is your eloquence to my palate, more so than honey to my mouth!111 I have acquired your testimonies as an inheritance unto eternity, because they are the exultation of my heart131 I opened my mouth and drew breath, for I desired your commandments.




Gospel, Lk 19:45-48

45 Then he went into the Temple and began driving out those who were busy trading, saying to them,



46 'According to scripture, my house shall be a house of prayer but you have turned it into a bandits' den.'



47 He taught in the Temple every day. The chief priests and the scribes, in company with the leading citizens, tried to do away with him,



48 but they could not find a way to carry this out because the whole people hung on his words
