Friday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time

By:

USCCB

Reading 1 1 Samuel 24:3-21 Saul took three thousand picked men from all Israel and went in search of David and his men in the direction of the wild goat crags.When he came to the sheepfolds along the way, he found a cave, which he entered to relieve himself.David and his men were occupying the inmost recesses of the cave.David's servants said to him, "This is the day of which the LORD said to you, 'I will deliver your enemy into your grasp; do with him as you see fit.'"So David moved up and stealthily cut off an end of Saul's mantle.Afterward, however, David regretted that he had cut off an end of Saul's mantle.He said to his men,"The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, as to lay a hand on him, for he is the LORD's anointed."With these words David restrained his men and would not permit them to attack Saul.Saul then left the cave and went on his way.David a

Readings for the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children Reading 1 1 Samuel 18:6-9; 19:1-7 When David and Saul approached(on David’s return after slaying the Philistine),women came out from each of the cities of Israel to meet King Saul,singing and dancing, with tambourines, joyful songs, and sistrums.The women played and sang:“Saul has slain his thousands,and David his ten thousands.”Saul was very angry and resentful of the song, for he thought:“They give David ten thousands, but only thousands to me.All that remains for him is the kingship.”And from that day on, Saul was jealous of David.Saul discussed his intention of killing Davidwith his son Jonathan and with all his servants.But Saul’s son Jonathan, who was very fond of David, told him:“My father Saul is trying to kill you.Therefore, please be on your guard tomorrow morning;get out of sight and remain in hiding.I, however, will go out and stand beside

Tuesday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time

By:

USCCB

Reading I 1 Samuel 16:1-13 The LORD said to Samuel:“How long will you grieve for Saul,whom I have rejected as king of Israel?Fill your horn with oil, and be on your way.I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem,for I have chosen my king from among his sons.”But Samuel replied:“How can I go?Saul will hear of it and kill me.”To this the LORD answered:“Take a heifer along and say,‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I myself will tell you what to do;you are to anoint for me the one I point out to you.”Samuel did as the LORD had commanded him.When he entered Bethlehem,the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and inquired,“Is your visit peaceful, O seer?”He replied:“Yes! I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.So cleanse yourselves and join me today for the banquet.”He also had Jesse and his sons cleanse themselvesand invited them to the sacrifice.As

Monday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time

By:

USCCB

Reading 1 1 Samuel 15:16-23 Samuel said to Saul:“Stop! Let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night.”Saul replied, “Speak!”Samuel then said: “Though little in your own esteem,are you not leader of the tribes of Israel?The LORD anointed you king of Israel and sent you on a mission, saying,‘Go and put the sinful Amalekites under a ban of destruction.Fight against them until you have exterminated them.’Why then have you disobeyed the LORD?You have pounced on the spoil, thus displeasing the LORD.”Saul answered Samuel: “I did indeed obey the LORDand fulfill the mission on which the LORD sent me.I have brought back Agag, and I have destroyed Amalek under the ban.But from the spoil the men took sheep and oxen,the best of what had been banned,to sacrifice to the LORD their God in Gilgal.”But Samuel said:“Does the LORD so delight in burnt offerings and sacrificesas in obedience to the command of t

Reading 1 Isaiah 49:3, 5-6 The LORD said to me: You are my servant,Israel, through whom I show my glory.Now the LORD has spokenwho formed me as his servant from the womb,that Jacob may be brought back to himand Israel gathered to him;and I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD,and my God is now my strength!It is too little, the LORD says, for you to be my servant,to raise up the tribes of Jacob,and restore the survivors of Israel;I will make you a light to the nations,that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10 R/ (8a and 9a) Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.I have waited, waited for the LORD,and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.And he put a new song into my mouth,a hymn to our God.R/ Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.Sacrifice or offering you wished not,but ears open to obedience you gave me.Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not;then said I, “Behold I come.&rdqu

Memorial of Saint Anthony, Abbot

By:

USCCB

Readings for the Memorial of Saint Anthony, abbot Reading I 1 Samuel 9:1-4, 17-19; 10:1 There was a stalwart man from Benjamin named Kish,who was the son of Abiel, son of Zeror,son of Becorath, son of Aphiah, a Benjaminite.He had a son named Saul, who was a handsome young man.There was no other child of Israel more handsome than Saul;he stood head and shoulders above the people.Now the asses of Saul’s father, Kish, had wandered off.Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants with youand go out and hunt for the asses.”Accordingly they went through the hill country of Ephraim,and through the land of Shalishah.Not finding them there,they continued through the land of Shaalim without success.They also went through the land of Benjamin,but they failed to find the animals.When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the LORD assured him,“This is the man of whom I told you; he is to govern my people.”Saul met Samuel in the gateway and said,“
