Wednesday, September 4, Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time, Mass Readings, complete liturgy. • See more about the saint of the day, *Saint Boniface I*, in our post on the Community tab. • Resolution of the day: • Examine ourselves and think: how often do I go to confession? • Do I remember that a daily examination of conscience is a very important tool to help me to measure my day and improve for tomorrow? • • Let us know in the COMMENTS if you thought of any other purpose for your life today, and WE WILL PRAY for this purpose. • • *Readings of the day*: • FIRST READING: 1 COR 3:1-9 • Psalm: “Lord, I love your commands.” • GOSPEL: Lk 4:38-44 • • Share this video with that friend who needs to hear this message, and we will see you _tonight at the *daily examination of conscience*_. • • FIRST READING (1 COR 3:1-9): • Brothers and sisters, • I could not talk to you as spiritual people, • but as fleshly people, as infants in Christ. • I fed you milk, not solid food, • because you were unable to take it. • Indeed, you are still not able, even now, • for you are still of the flesh. • While there is jealousy and rivalry among you, • are you not of the flesh, and walking • according to the manner of man? • Whenever someone says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, • “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely men? • What is Apollos, after all, and what is Paul? • Ministers through whom you became believers, • just as the Lord assigned each one. • I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth. • Therefore, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, • but only God, who causes the growth. • He who plants and he who waters are one, • and each will receive wages in proportion to his labor. • For we are God’s co-workers; • you are God’s field, God’s building. • Psalm (“Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.”): • Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own. • Blessed the nation whose God is the LORD, • the people he has chosen for his own inheritance. • From heaven the LORD looks down; • he sees all mankind. • Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own. • From his fixed throne he beholds • all who dwell on the earth, • He who fashioned the heart of each, • he who knows all their works. • Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own. • Our soul waits for the LORD, • who is our help and our shield, • For in him our hearts rejoice; • in his holy name we trust. • Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own. • • GOSPEL (Lk 4:38-44): • After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. • Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever, • and they interceded with him about her. • He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. • She got up immediately and waited on them. • At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases • brought them to him. • He laid his hands on each of them and cured them. • And demons also came out from many, shouting, “You are the Son of God.” • But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak • because they knew that he was the Christ. • At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. • The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him, • they tried to prevent him from leaving them. • But he said to them, “To the other towns also • I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God, • because for this purpose I have been sent.” • And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea
