Lord of my life, I do not want to fail in this task of staying faithful to your Word. My heart desires you to be the center of my life, and I want to follow you in spirit and truth, holding the hand of Mary. I know that difficult times will come, and perhaps my strength will fail me when I have to bear such a burden. But you have promised me that, if I trust in your power and your promises, I should fear nothing. Mary is my faithful companion in this mission of life. I entrust myself today to her Immaculate Heart to be my protector and my guide on all my paths. Amen.

Reading for Tuesday. Daily gospel

First Reading for daily Gospel: Reading from the book of Hebrews 5:7-9.

During his life on earth, Christ offered up prayer and entreaty, aloud and in silent tears, to the one who had the power to save him out of death, and he submitted so humbly that his prayer was heard. Although he was Son, he learnt to obey through suffering; but having been made perfect, he became for all who obey him the source of eternal salvation.

Daily Psalm for Tuesday.

Psalm 99(100).

"Save me, O Lord, in your love." (R).

Daily Gospel Acclamation.

"Alleluia, alleluia! Happy is the Virgin Mary, who, without dying, won the palm of martyrdom beneath the cross of the Lord. Alleluia!"

Daily Gospel for September 15. John 19:25-27.

Daily Gospel reading for Tuesday, September 15 (Mary teaches us the virtue of waiting in the midst of pain): "Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother´s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, "Woman, this is your son." Then to the disciple he said, "This is your mother." And from that moment the disciple made a place for her in his home".

Daily Gospel reflection by Pope Francis.

"Mary stands in the thickest darkness."

Until that day, Mary had almost disappeared from the Gospel accounts: the sacred writers suggest this slow eclipse of her presence, her silence before the mystery of a Son who obeys the Father. However, we see that in the daily Readings, Mary reappears precisely at the crucial moment: when a large number of friends are scattered in fear. Mothers do not abandon, and at that moment at the foot of the Cross, none of us can say what was the most cruel passion: that of an innocent man dying on the gallows of the Cross, or the agony of a mother accompanying the last moments of her son´s life.

The Gospels are laconic, and extremely discreet. They record Mary´s presence with a simple verb: she was "standing" (John 19:25). She stood aside. They say nothing of her reaction: if she cried, if she did not cry, nothing; not even a brushstroke to describe her anguish: these details will be addressed later by the imagination of the poets and painters who offer us images that have entered the history of art and literature. But the Gospels just say: she was "waiting". She stayed there, at the worst moment, at the most cruel moment, and suffered with her son. She "stood by".

Through the daily readings, we see that Mary "stood by"; she was simply there. Here again, the young woman of Nazareth, her hair graying with the passage of time, still struggling with a God who must only be embraced, and with a life that has reached the threshold of the darkest night.

Mary "stood" in the thickest darkness, but she "stood". She did not leave. Mary is there, faithfully present, every time a candle must be kept lit in a place of fog and mist. She does not even know the future resurrection that her Son was opening up at that moment for us, for all mankind: she is there out of fidelity to the plan of God, whose servant proclaimed herself on the first day of her vocation, but also out of her instinct as a mother who simply suffers, every time there is a child who suffers. The suffering of mothers: we have all known strong women who have faced the suffering of their children.

We will meet her again on the first day of the Church; she, the mother of hope, in the midst of that community of disciples so fragile: one had denied, many had fled, all had been afraid (Cf. Acts 1:14). She simply stood aside, in the most natural way, as if it were something completely normal: in the first Church wrapped in the light of the Resurrection, but also in the restlessness of the first steps to be taken in the world.

For this reason, we all love her as a Mother. We are not orphans: we have a Mother in Heaven that is the Holy Mother of God. Because she teaches us the virtue of waiting, even when everything seems to be meaningless: she is always confident in the mystery of God, even when she seems to have eclipsed Himself because of the evil of the world. In the most difficult moments, may Mary, the Mother that Jesus gave us all, always sustain our steps, may she always say to our hearts: "Rise! Look ahead, look at the horizon" because she is the Mother of Hope. (Daily Gospel reflection, General Audience, May 10, 2017)

Daily Prayer for Gospel.

God of my life, how grateful I am for the abundance of your love. Thank you for this day in which you provide me with so many things to achieve my happiness. There are so many things I have to thank you for. Among them is Mary, your Holy Mother, to whom you granted the privilege of being the Mother of all mankind. From generation to generation we praise her and give her our hearts. I love you Lord, you are the eternal love of loves, the one who gave himself on the cross for our salvation. Grant me the abundance of your Wisdom, for with it, I can face whatever setbacks life throws at me. At the foot of your Cross, I stand firm like Mary. She remained with you until the end. May I learn from her to be faithful in good times and in bad. Like her I want to serve and love, without complaint or regret. Help me today for this purpose. I trust that you will. Amen. (Healing with the daily prayer for Gospel)

The Pope´s daily quotation.
