Sacred Heart of Jesus, I love You with all my being, I take refuge in You, source of living water and purifying fire.

O Virgin of the Rosary, be my support and my guide. Amen.

Readings for Thursday.

Daily readings for gospel - First Reading for daily Gospel: Catholic Reading from the Book of Malachi 3:13-20a: "The day is coming, blazing like an oven."

You have said harsh things about me, says Yahweh. And yet, you say, "What have we said against you?" You have said, "It is useless to serve God; what is the good of keeping his commands or of walking mournfully before Yahweh Sabaoth? In fact, we now call the proud the happy ones; the evil-doers are the ones who prosper; they put God to the test, yet come to no harm!" Then those who feared Yahweh talked to one another about this, and Yahweh took note and listened; and a book of remembrance was written in his presence, recording those who feared him and kept his name in mind. On the day when I act, says Yahweh Sabaoth, they will be my most prized possession, and I shall spare them in the way a man spares the son who serves him. Then once again you will see the difference between the upright person and the wicked one, between the one who serves God and the one who does not serve him. For look, the Day is coming, glowing like a furnace. All the proud and all the evil-doers will be the stubble, and the Day, when it comes, will set them ablaze, says Yahweh Sabaoth, leaving them neither root nor branch. But for you, who fear my name, the Sun of justice will rise with healing in his rays.

Daily Gospel - Luke 11:5-13.

Catholic Daily readings for Thursday, Gospel for October 7 (Ask and you will receive.): At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, "Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him," and he says in reply from within, "Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything." I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence. "And I tell you, ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"

Catholic Daily Readings reflection, by Pope Francis.

"We must always pray, even when everything seems useless, when God seems deaf and mute." Pope Francis.

About the prayer spoken to you on the daily Readings, someone said to me, "You talk too much about prayer. It is not necessary." Yes, it is necessary. Because if we do not pray, we will not have the strength to go on in life. Prayer is like the oxygen of life. Prayer draws upon us the presence of the Holy Spirit, which always moves us forward. For this reason, I talk a lot about prayer. Jesus gave an example of continuous prayer, practiced with perseverance. Constant dialogue with his Father, in silence and recollection, was the axis of his entire mission.

The Gospels also record his exhortations to his disciples to pray insistently, without tiring. The Catechism recalls three parables in Luke´s Gospel that underline this characteristic of Jesus´ prayer (see CCC, 2613). First, prayer must be tenacious: like the person in the parable who, having to welcome a guest who arrived unexpectedly in the middle of the night, goes to knock at a friend´s door and asks for some bread. The friend answers: "No!" because he is already in bed, but he insists and insists until he forces his friend to get up and give him some bread. A tenacious request.

But God is more patient with us, and the person who knocks with faith and perseverance at the door of his heart will not be disappointed. God always answers. Always. Our Father knows well what we need; insistence is necessary not to inform or convince Him, but to nourish desire and expectation in us.

(...) The teaching of the Gospel is clear: we must always pray, even when everything seems useless, when God seems deaf and dumb, and we seem to be wasting our time. Even if the sky darkens, the Christian does not stop praying.

The Christian´s prayer goes hand in hand with his faith. There are many days in our life when faith seems an illusion, a sterile effort. There are moments of darkness in our life, and in those moments, faith can seem like an illusion. But the practice of prayer means accepting even this effort. "Father, I pray, and I feel nothing... It seems that my heart is dry that my heart is arid." But we must continue to strive in the difficult moments, in the moments when we feel nothing. Many saints experienced the night of faith and the silence of God, when we know and God does not respond, and these saints were persevering.

During those nights of faith, the one who prays is never alone. Jesus, in fact, is not only a witness and teacher of prayer; he is more. He welcomes us into His prayer so that we pray in Him and for Him. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. This is why the Gospel invites us to pray to the Father, in the name of Jesus. St. John offers us these words of the Lord: "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (14:13). And the Catechism explains that "the certainty that our petitions will be heard is founded on the prayer of Jesus" (n. 2614). This gives the wings that the prayer of the human person has always desired to possess. (Daily Readings reflection, General Audience, 2020, November 11).

Daily Prayer for the Gospel.

Thank you, Lord, for having left me the sweet presence of a Mother who also watches over me from Heaven. Like Mary, your Holy Mother, I want to be a faithful disciple committed to proclaiming your love, to honor you with all my being and to meditate everything in my heart. In imitation of Mary, I accept to be your slave, to listen to your Word and to put it into practice in my life. Like you, Sweet Mother, I want to say with all my passion: "My spirit trembles with joy in God, my Savior...".
