Readings for Tuesday.

Daily readings for gospel - First Reading for daily Gospel: Catholic Reading from the Book of Jonah 3,1-10: "The Ninevites turned from their evil way and God repented of the evil he had threatened."

The word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: "Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you." So, Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD´s bidding. Now, Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day´s walk announcing, "Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed," when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth. When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in the ashes. Then he had this proclaimed throughout Nineveh, by decree of the king and his nobles: "Neither man nor beast, neither cattle nor sheep, shall taste anything; they shall not eat, nor shall they drink water. Man and beast shall be covered with sackcloth and call loudly to God; every man shall turn from his evil way and from the violence he has in hand. Who knows, God may relent and forgive, and withhold his blazing wrath, so that we shall not perish." When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.

Daily Gospel - Luke 10:38-42.

Catholic Daily readings for Tuesday, Gospel for October 5 (Martha welcomed him into her house. Mary has chosen the better part.): At that time, Jesus entered a village, where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet, listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, and it will not be taken from her."

Catholic Daily Readings reflection, by Pope Francis.

"There should be no occupation or preoccupation that takes us away from the divine master.". Pope Francis.

In the daily Readings, Luke tells us of Jesus´ visit to the house of Martha and Mary, the sisters of Lazarus (cf. Lk 10:38-42). They welcome him, and Mary sits at his feet to listen to him; she leaves what she was doing to be close to Jesus: she prefers not to miss any of his words. As in the case of Mary, it can be said of each one of us. There must be no occupation or preoccupation that takes us away from the divine master. Everything must always be put aside because, when he comes to visit us in our lives, his presence and his word take precedence over everything else. The Lord always surprises us: when we truly listen to Him, the clouds vanish, doubts give way to truth, fears to serenity, and the many situations of life find their place. The Lord always makes things right. Even for us.

In this scene of Mary of Bethany at the feet of Jesus, St. Luke shows the prayerful attitude of the believer, who knows how to be in the presence of the Master to listen to Him and be agreeing with Him. It is a matter of making a pause in the day, of gathering in silence for a few minutes to make room for the Lord who is passing by and of finding the courage to remain a little on the sidelines with Him to then return, with more serenity and effectiveness, to the aspects of daily life. Praising Mary´s behavior, who has chosen the better part (v. 42), Jesus seems to repeat to each one of us: "do not let yourselves be carried away by the things that must be done, but listen to the voice of the Lord, that you may do well the tasks that life gives you."

Then there is the other sister, Martha. St. Luke says that it was she who welcomed Jesus (cf. v. 38). Perhaps Martha was the older of the two sisters, we do not know, but certainly this woman had the charism of hospitality. In fact, while Mary listens to Jesus, she is busy with many services. Therefore, Jesus says to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things" (v. 41). With these words, he certainly does not intend to condemn the attitude of service, but the anxiety with which it is sometimes lived. We, too, share the concern of St. Martha and, following her example, we intend to ensure that in our families and in our communities there is a sense of welcome, of fraternity, so that all may feel at home, especially the little ones and the poor and those who knock at our door.

This is why today´s Gospel reminds us that the wisdom of the heart lies precisely in knowing how to combine these two elements: contemplation and action. Martha and Mary show us the way. If we want to savor life with joy, we must associate these two attitudes: on the one hand, to place ourselves at the feet of Jesus, to listen to him as he reveals to us the secret of everything; on the other, to be attentive and ready in hospitality, when he passes by and knocks at our door, with the face of a friend who needs a moment of refreshment and fraternity. He wants our hospitality.

May Mary Most Holy, Mother of the Church, give us the grace to love and serve God and our brothers and sisters with the hands of Martha and the heart of Mary, so that, always listening to Christ, we may be artisans of peace and hope. And this is interesting: with these two attitudes we can be artisans of peace and hope. (Daily Readings reflection, Angelus, 2019, July 21).

Daily Prayer for the Gospel.

Lord of my life, I put all my strength in You, for I know that from You comes every blessing in Heaven and on Earth. I trust that you help me to overcome every difficulty in which I find myself, sustaining me with your love and your power. You are my shield, and I am convinced that your love does not depart from my spirit, for you, my Lord, always come to those who put their trust in you. Amen. (Healing with the serenity prayer for Catholic Daily Readings and Holy Gospel - Qriswell Quero @Copyright 2021)

The Pope´s daily quotation.

The look of interdependence and sharing, the engine of love and the vocation to respect. These are the three keys to reading that illuminate our work for the care of our common home. Pope Francis.
