Monday of the Tenth week in Ordinary Time

1st book of Kings

Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab: "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, during these years there shall be no dew or rain except at my word."
The LORD then said to Elijah:
"Leave here, go east and hide in the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.
You shall drink of the stream, and I have commanded ravens to feed you there."
So he left and did as the LORD had commanded. He went and remained by the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the stream.

Psalms

I lift up my eyes toward the mountains;
whence shall help come to me?
My help is from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
May he not suffer your foot to slip;
may he slumber not who guards you:
indeed he neither slumbers nor sleeps,
the guardian of Israel.
The LORD is your guardian; the LORD is your shade;
he is beside you at your right hand.
The sun shall not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will guard you from all evil;
he will guard your life.
The LORD will guard your coming and your going,
both now and forever.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven."

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

SAINT MARGARET OF SCOTLAND Queen (+ 1093) St. Margaret's name signifies "pearl," which her confessor and first biographer Theodoric said, "was a fitting name." St. Margaret's soul was like a precious pearl. A life amidst the royal court never dimmed its luster or stole it from Christ. Margaret was the granddaughter of an English king; and in 1070, she became the bride of Malcolm and as Queen of Scotland till her death in 1093. Margaret burned with zeal for the house of God. She built churches and monasteries, crafted vestments, and upheld moral and divine laws throughout her realm. Margaret was equally diligent in making 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 covered them with jewels. Margaret exhibited contrition for her sins and sought help from her spiritual director and confessor. She was also an exemplary mother and responsibly fulfilled 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. Margaret was her husband's most trusted counselor; and she labored ceaselessly for the well-being of her people. With all her hard work, she must have sighed, on occasion, for a better country. Margaret welcomed death with the courage of the saints; like St. Francis who called death his sister. On her deathbed, she received news that her husband and eldest son were killed in battle. Margaret nonetheless submitted to 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 departed to Christ, the Author of Life.
