Daily prayer for September 7.

My Lord and my God, there are so many complicated situations I go through that they want to steal my peace. A coronavirus pandemic has broken out and I feel uneasy, a little afraid and very anxious. All of this is the result of NOT KNOWING how to put this situation in your hands. I apologize for not knowing how to incorporate you into my life with complete confidence. Forgive me for trying to stand on my own two feet and for leaving aside the faith I must place in your Wisdom. Give me the strength, Lord, to improve my relationship with you and not let myself be intimidated by external situations that are under your control. Help me to trust more and more every day. Increase my faith. Amen.

Reading for Monday. Daily gospel

First Reading for daily Gospel: Reading from the book of 1 Corinthians 5:1-8

I have been told as an undoubted fact that one of you is living with his father´s wife. This is a case of sexual immorality among you that must be unparalleled even among pagans. How can you be so proud of yourselves? You should be in mourning. A man who does a thing like that ought to have been expelled from the community. Though I am far away in body, I am with you in spirit, and have already condemned the man who did this thing as if I were actually present. When you are assembled together in the name of the Lord Jesus, and I am spiritually present with you, then with the power of our Lord Jesus he is to be handed over to Satan so that his sensual body may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord. The pride that you take in yourselves is hardly to your credit. You must know how even a small amount of yeast is enough to leaven all the dough, so get rid of all the old yeast, and make yourselves into a completely new batch of bread, unleavened as you are meant to be. Christ, our passover, has been sacrificed; let us celebrate the feast, then, by getting rid of all the old yeast of evil and wickedness, having only the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Daily Gospel for September 7. Luke 6:6-11.

Daily Gospel reading for Monday, September 7 (The healing of a man on a Saturday): "At that time, on the sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him to see if he would cure a man on the sabbath, hoping to find something to use against him. But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man with the withered hand, "Stand up! Come out into the middle." And he came out and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, "I put it to you: is it against the law on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to destroy it?" Then he looked round at them all and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was better. But they were furious, and began to discuss the best way of dealing with Jesus".

Daily Gospel reflection by Pope Francis.

"It is so ugly to be a Christian who lives in hypocrisy".

In the reading of the daily Gospel, Jesus asks the Pharisees, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath or not," but they do not answer. And then Jesus takes the sick man by the hand and heals him. The Pharisees, standing before the truth, were silent, but then they gossiped behind his back They were looking for a way to make him fall.

Jesus rebuked those people who were so attached to the law that they had forgotten about justice, and even denied help to the elderly parents on the pretext that they had given everything as a donation to the Temple. But, through today´s Gospel reading, who is more important: the fourth commandment or the Temple?

Jesus takes us by the hand and heals us.

Jesus comes close: closeness is the proof that we are on the right path. Because it is precisely the way God has chosen to save us: nearness. He came close to us, he became man.

The flesh: the flesh of God is the sign; the flesh of God is the sign of true justice. God, who became man as one of us, and we who have to become like others, like those in need, like those who need our help.

The flesh of Jesus is the bridge that brings us closer to God, not the letter of the law: no. Through of the daily Gospel, we can appreciate that, in the flesh of Christ, the law has its full fulfillment and is a flesh that is capable of suffering, that has given its life for us.

May these examples, this example of the closeness of Jesus, of love, of the fullness of the law help us never fall into hypocrisy: never. It is so ugly to be a hypocritical Christian. So ugly. May God save us from this. (Daily Gospel reflection, St. Martha, October 31, 2014)

Daily Prayer for Gospel.

Lord, thank you for the wonders you bring to me in the midst of my day-to-day life. Give me the strength to always respond to you with pleasure and encouragement. Today, I want everything I do and think to be full of You. Give me the capacity to develop my tasks with effort, dedication and love. My greatest desire is to be with You, outside You: I am nothing. Outside You, only sin abounds and the devil trying to divert me from Your love. I am full of weaknesses, Lord. Come into my life and heal everything from me, heal the paralysis of my soul that locks me up in hostile attitudes and full of pain. You are my strength, my guide and my hope. I trust that you will come to me in my need even when I fail amidst so many things that distract me. I give you my wounds, heal all my pains caused by my bad choices. I put my hope in You to give meaning to my actions. God of love, I know I can count on Your power to encourage me to always pursue the good and to reject any temptation that tries to separate me from You. I extend my hand to You and entrust myself to Your compassion so that You may pour out Your blessing upon me and heal all my ills with Your love. Amen. (Healing with prayer daily gospel)

The Pope´s daily quotation.

"A sober lifestyle is good for us and helps us to share what we have with those in need" Pope Francis.
