Reading for Friday. Daily gospel

First Reading for daily Gospel: Reading from the book of 1 Corinthians 9:16-19,22-27.

I do not boast of preaching the gospel, since it is a duty which has been laid on me; I should be punished if I did not preach it! If I had chosen this work myself, I might have been paid for it, but as I have not, it is a responsibility which has been put into my hands. Do you know what my reward is? It is this: in my preaching, to be able to offer the Good News free, and not insist on the rights which the gospel gives me. So though I am not a slave of any man I have made myself the slave of everyone so as to win as many as I could. I made myself all things to all men in order to save some at any cost; and I still do this, for the sake of the gospel, to have a share in its blessings. All the runners at the stadium are trying to win, but only one of them gets the prize. You must run in the same way, meaning to win. All the fighters at the games go into strict training; they do this just to win a wreath that will wither away, but we do it for a wreath that will never wither. That is how I run, intent on winning; that is how I fight, not beating the air. I treat my body hard and make it obey me, for, having been an announcer myself, I should not want to be disqualified.

Daily Psalm for Friday.

Psalm 83(84):3-6,12.

"How lovely is your dwelling-place, Lord, God of hosts." (R).

My soul is longing and yearning, is yearning for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my soul ring out their joy to God, the living God.

The sparrow herself finds a home and the swallow a nest for her brood; she lays her young by your altars, Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

They are happy, who dwell in your house, for ever singing your praise. They are happy, whose strength is in you, in whose hearts are the roads to Zion.

For the Lord God is a rampart, a shield; he will give us his favour and glory. The Lord will not refuse any good to those who walk without blame.

Daily Gospel Acclamation.

"Alleluia, alleluia! O praise the Lord, Jerusalem! He sends out his word to the earth. Alleluia!" (Cfr. Psalm 147:12,15)

Daily Gospel for September 11. Luke 6:39-42.

Daily Gospel reading for Friday, September 11 (The benevolence to judge): "At that time, Jesus told a parable to the disciples: "Can one blind man guide another? Surely both will fall into a pit? The disciple is not superior to his teacher; the fully trained disciple will always be like his teacher. Why do you observe the splinter in your brother´s eye and never notice the plank in your own? How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take out the splinter that is in your eye," when you cannot see the plank in your own? Hypocrite! Take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly enough to take out the splinter that is in your brother´s eye." ".

Daily Gospel reflection by Pope Francis.

"To murmur against others is to slap the heart."

The reading of the daily Gospel, Jesus warns those who see the mote in their brother´s eye and do not realize the beam in their own eye. The brother who makes a mistake must be corrected with charity.

1. Correct with charity.

A person cannot be corrected without love or charity. You cannot perform a surgical intervention without anesthesia: you cannot, because the sick person would die of pain. And charity is like an anesthetic that helps to receive the cure and to accept the correction. Call him personally, with meekness, with love and talk to him.

2. Correct with the truth.

Through the daily Gospel, we learn that, it is necessary to speak the truth, not to say something that is not true. How many times in our communities are things said about another person that are not true, are slander. Or if they are true, the fame of that person is taken away.

Gossip hurts; gossip is a slap against the fame of a person, it is a slap against the heart of a person. Certainly, when they tell you the truth, it is not nice to hear it, but if it is said with charity and love, it is easier to accept it.

3. Correct with humility.

If you must correct a small defect there, think that you have so many bigger ones! Fraternal correction is an act to heal the body of the Church.

In the daily Gospel, we observe that, If you are not capable of correcting with love, with charity, in truth and with humility, you will make an offense, a destruction to the heart of that person, you will make one more gossip, which hurts, and you will be transformed into a blind hypocrite, as Jesus says. "Hypocrite, first remove the beam from your eye. Hypocrite.

Recognize that you are more sinful than the other, but that you, as a brother, must help to correct the other.

May the Lord help us in this fraternal service, so beautiful and so painful, to help our brothers and sisters to be better and may he help us to do it always with charity, in truth and with humility. (Daily Gospel reflection, St. Martha, September 12, 2014)

Daily Prayer for Gospel.

Lord, how important it is for our life to persevere in the way of faith and trust in your providence. I can only trust you when I feel that I am losing my way. Free me from pride. May I awaken my heart to a true Christian life. Although I may judge the facts as right or wrong, I cannot condemn people, for that verdict belongs to you alone. Help me to love them. I pray for those who have strayed from your love that you may wrap them up in your mercy. I pray also for myself not to fall into prejudice. That I may love in freedom. Amen. (Healing with prayer daily gospel)

The Pope´s daily quotation.

"To love everyone, including one´s enemies, is difficult - I would say it is an art! But it is an art that can be learned and improved. True love, which makes us fruitful and free, is always expansive and inclusive. This love heals, heals and does good." Pope Francis.

Purpose for daily Gospel.

I will analyze my own defects and draw up a plan to combat them with the virtues of charity. Seek to remove depression and sadness from your life.
