Readings for Sunday.

First Reading for daily Gospel: Reading from the book of Ezekiel 34:11-12,15-17: "God will search for each of his lost sheep".

The Lord says this: I am going to look after my flock myself and keep all of it in view. As a shepherd keeps all his flock in view when he stands up in the middle of his scattered sheep, so shall I keep my sheep in view. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered during the mist and darkness. I myself will pasture my sheep, I myself will show them where to rest, it is the Lord who speaks. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the wounded and make the weak strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them. As for you, my sheep, the Lord says this: I will judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and he-goats.

Daily Gospel for November 22. Matthew 25,31-46.

Daily readings Sunday, Gospel for November 22 (At the Last Judgment Jesus will come with glory over the nations): "At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory. All the nations will be assembled before him, and he will separate men one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." Then the King will say to those on his right hand, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take for your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." Then the virtuous will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you; or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome; naked and clothe you; sick or in prison and go to see you?" And the King will answer, "I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me." "Next he will say to those on his left hand, "Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you never gave me food; I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink; I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, naked and you never clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited me." Then it will be their turn to ask, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?" Then he will answer, "I tell you solemnly, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me." "And they will go away to eternal punishment, and the virtuous to eternal life.". (The daily readings and the Holy Gospel, on this page, are from the Jerusalem Bible)

Daily Readings reflection, by Pope Francis.

"Pope Francis: God will judge you on the love you gave to others"

In the daily Readings, we see that the time of waiting for the arrival of the Lord is the time that He gives us, with mercy and patience, before his final arrival, the time of vigilance; time in which we have to keep the lamps of faith, hope and charity burning, where we keep our hearts open to goodness, beauty and truth; time that we have to live according to God because we know neither the day nor the hour of Christ´s return.

What is asked of us is to be prepared for the encounter: prepared for an encounter, a beautiful encounter, the encounter with Jesus, which means being able to see the signs of his presence, to keep our faith alive, with prayer, with the Sacraments, to be attentive so as not to fall asleep, so as not to forget God.

The life of sleeping Christians is a sad life, eh? It is not a happy life. The Christian must be happy, the joy of Jesus Do not fall asleep!

Waiting for the return of the Lord is the time for action. We are the time of action, time to take advantage of God´s gifts, not for ourselves, but for Him, for the Church, for others, time to always try to make the good grow in the world

It is important not to close in on oneself, burying one´s talent, one´s spiritual, intellectual, and material riches, all that the Lord has given us, but to open up, to be in solidarity, to take care of others.

Through today´s reading, we observe that, in the final judgment, the Lord will be the shepherd who separates the sheep from the goats. On the right are those who have acted according to God´s will, who have helped the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the imprisoned, the foreigner while on the left are those who have not helped their neighbors.

This indicates to us that we will be judged by God in charity, in how we have loved him in our brothers, especially the most vulnerable and needy. Let us be never afraid to look at the final judgment; may it push us instead to live better in the present.

God offers us this time with mercy and patience so that we learn each day to recognize him in the poor and the little ones, so that we commit ourselves to the good and be vigilant in prayer and love. May the Lord, at the end of our existence and of history, recognize us as good and faithful servants. Thank you. (Daily Readings reflection, General Audience, April 24, 2013.).

Daily Prayer for Gospel.

Lord, I confess before You, King of the universe, that You are the engine of my heart and the light of my life. Take my hands, prepare them to offer love. As St. John of the Cross said: "in the evening of life we will be judged in love". I want to serve you with that love and in order not to fail you, I need your healing. Works are love, and I want my works to be the best gift of love I can offer you. Amen. (Healing with the serenity prayer for daily readings and Holy Gospel)

The Pope´s daily quotation.

"Dear young people, the consequences of our actions and decisions will affect you personally; therefore, you cannot remain outside where the present and the future are generated. Either you are involved or history will pass you by". Pope Francis.

Purpose for daily Gospel.

In the Kingdom of Jesus there is peace, based on brotherhood and justice, and these are sought with the ardor of the hungry and thirsty. We entrust ourselves to his reign.
