Catholic Missal of the day: Friday, July 19 2024

Book of Isaiah

38,1-6.21-22.7-8.

In those days, when Hezekiah was mortally ill, the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, came and said to him: "Thus says the LORD: Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you shall not recover."
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD:
"O LORD, remember how faithfully and wholeheartedly I conducted myself in your presence, doing what was pleasing to you!" And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah:
"Go, tell Hezekiah: Thus says the LORD, the God of your father David: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you: in three days you shall go up to the LORD'S temple; I will add fifteen years to your life.
I will rescue you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; I will be a shield to this city."
Isaiah then ordered a poultice of figs to be taken and applied to the boil, that he might recover.
Then Hezekiah asked, "What is the sign that I shall go up to the temple of the LORD?"
(Isaiah answered:) "This will be the sign for you from the LORD that he will do what he has promised:
See, I will make the shadow cast by the sun on the stairway to the terrace of Ahaz go back the ten steps it has advanced." So the sun came back the ten steps it had advanced.

Book of Isaiah

38,10.11.12abcd.16.

Once I said,
"In the noontime of life I must depart!
To the gates of the nether world I shall be consigned
for the rest of my years."
I said, "I shall see the LORD no more
in the land of the living.
No longer shall I behold my fellow men
among those who dwell in the world."
My dwelling, like a shepherd's tent,
is struck down and borne away from me;
You have folded up my life, like a weaver
who severs the last thread.
Those live whom the LORD protects;
Yours is the life of my spirit.
You have given me health and life.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

12,1-8.

Jesus was going through a field of grain on the sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.
When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, "See, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the sabbath."
He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry,
how he went into the house of God and ate the bread of offering, which neither he nor his companions but only the priests could lawfully eat?
Or have you not read in the law that on the sabbath the priests serving in the temple violate the sabbath and are innocent?
I say to you, something greater than the temple is here.
If you knew what this meant, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned these innocent men.
For the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath."


Francis Garces and Companions(Martyrs (c. 1781))

Francis Garcés and CompanionsMartyrs(c. 1781) Saint Francisco Garcés was a contemporary of Blessed Junipero Serra. He was born in Spain in 1738, at a time when European imperialism raised new social questions. Francisco Garces responded to God's invitation by joining the Franciscans. After his ordination in 1763, Fr. Francisco was sent to Mexico. Five years later, he was assigned to San Xavier del Bac near Tucson: one of several missions founded by the Jesuits. Previously, the Jesuits had influenced Spain to spare the Philippines from conquistadors. When the Jesuits were expelled from all territories by the Catholic king of Spain in 1767, Fr. Francisco was working among the Papago, Yuma, Pima and Apache Nations. His missionary travels took him to the Grand Canyon and to California. Francisco Palou, O.F.M. left a written account of Fr. Francisco Garcés. The latter was greatly loved by the natives. He lived with them and evangelized: sharing the Gospel by praying, working and preaching. They regularly gave him food and referred to him as "Viva Jesus," which was a greeting he taught them. For the sake of the indigenous converts, the Spanish missionaries wanted to organize settlements away from Spanish soldiers and colonists. However, the commandant in Mexico insisted that two new missions on the Colorado River (Misión San Pedro y San Pablo and Misión La Purísima Concepción) be mixed settlements. Dissagreements resulted in a Yuma revolt, which left Friars Juan Diaz and Matias Moreno dead at Misión San Pedro y San Pablo. Francisco Garcés and Juan Barreneche were killed at Misión La Purísima Concepción (the site of Fort Yuma).
