Friday of the Tenth week in Ordinary Time

Friday of the Tenth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

1st book of Kings

19,9.11-16.

]At the mountain of God, Horeb, Elijah came to a cave, where he took shelter. But the word of the LORD came to him,
]"Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by." A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD--but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake--but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
]After the earthquake there was fire--but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound.
]When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, "Elijah, why are you here?"
]He replied, "I have been most zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. But the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to the sword. I alone am left, and they seek to take my life."
]"Go, take the road back to the desert near Damascus," the LORD said to him. "When you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael as king of Aram.
]Then you shall anoint Jehu, son of Nimshi, as king of Israel, and Elisha, son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, as prophet to succeed you."

Psalm

Psalms

27(26),7-8a.8b-9abc.13-14.

]Hear, O LORD, the sound of my call;
Have pity on me, and answer me.
]Of you my heart speaks; you my glance seeks.
]Your presence, O LORD, I seek.
]Hide not your face from me;
]do not in anger repel your servant.
]You are my helper: cast me not off.
]I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
in the land of the living.
]Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

5,27-32.

]Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
]But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
]If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna.
]And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna.
]It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce.'
]But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

St. Margaret of Scotland(Queen († 1093))

SAINT MARGARET OF SCOTLAND Queen ( 1093) St. Margaret's name signifies "pearl," which her confessor and biographer Theodoric called "a fitting name." Her soul was like a precious pearl: its luster never dimmed and was never stolen from Christ. She was the granddaughter of an English king. In 1070, she became the bride of Malcolm and Queen of Scotland. St. Margaret built churches and monasteries, crafted vestments and upheld moral and divine laws. She was equally diligent in making time for prayer. She ordered her piety with such sweetness and discretion that she won her husband to sanctity. He would rise with her at night for prayer, kissed the holy books she read and sometimes covered them with jewels. St. Margaret exhibited contrition for her sins and sought help from her spiritual director and confessor. She was also an exemplary mother and spared no pains in educating her eight children. She was her husband's most trusted counselor and labored ceaselessly for the well-being of her people. She sighed occasionally for a better country, which is our true native land, as a sign of her contemplation and union with God. On her deathbed, St. Margaret learned that her husband and eldest son had been killed in battle. She nonetheless submitted to God and blessed His Holy Name. After receiving Holy Viaticum, she repeated the prayer from the Missal, "O Lord Jesus Christ, Who by Thy death gave life to the world, deliver me." At the words "deliver me," says her biographer, she departed to Christ, the Author of Life.
