Friday of the Tenth week in Ordinary Time

1st book of Kings

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."

Psalms

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.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

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"; "a fitting name," says Theodoric, her confessor and her first biographer, "for one such as she." Her soul was like a precious pearl. A life spent amidst the luxury of a royal court never dimmed its luster or stole it away from Jesus Christ. She was the granddaughter of an English king; and in 1070, she became the bride of Malcolm and reigned as Queen of Scotland till her death in 1093. Margaret burned with zeal for the house of God. She built churches and monasteries, busied herself in making vestments and could not rest till she saw the laws of God and His Church observed throughout her realm. Next, Margaret made time to converse with God. 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 returned them covered with jewels. Margaret exhibited contrition for her sins and sought help from her spiritual director and confessor. She was also an exemplary mother, responsibly fulfilling her duties out of love. She spared no pains in the education of her eight children, and their sanctity was the fruit of her prudence and her zeal. Margaret was her husband's most trusted counselor, and she labored ceaselessly for the material improvement of the country. In the midst of the world, Margaret sighed for a better country, and welcomed death with the courage and fortitude of the saints. Shortly before her passing, she received news that her husband and eldest son were slain in battle. Margaret nonetheless thanked God and blessed His Holy Name. After receiving Holy Viaticum, Margaret 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 took her departure to Christ, the Author of Life.
