Catholic Jerusalem Bible Daily Reading for Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014 Reading 1, (First Corinthians 3:1-9) “1 And so, brothers, I was not able to talk to you as spiritual people; I had to talk to you as people still living by your natural inclinations, still infants in Christ; 2 I fed you with milk and not solid food, for you were not yet able to take it -- and even now, you are still not able to, 3 for you are still living by your natural inclinations. As long as there are jealousy and rivalry among you, that surely means that you are still living by your natural inclinations and by merely human principles. 4 While there is one that says, I belong to Paul and another that says, I belong to Apollos are you not being only too human? 5 For what is Apollos and what is Paul? The servants through whom you came to believe, and each has only what the Lord has given him. 6 I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God gave growth. 7 In this, neither the planter nor the water counts for anything; only God, who gives growth. 8 It is all one who does the planting and who does the watering, and each will have the proper pay for the work that he has done. 9 After all, we do share in Gods work; you are Gods farm, Gods building.” (First Corinthians 3:1-9) Responsorial Psalm, (Psalms 33:12-13, 14-15, 20-21) “12 How blessed the nation whose “God is Yahweh,” the people he has chosen as his heritage. 13 From “Heaven” our ‘living, and loving,’ “Yahweh” looks down, he sees all the children of Adam, 14 from the place where he sits, “God Yahweh,” he watches all who dwell on the Earth; 15 “God,” he alone moulds their hearts, he understands all they do. 20 We are waiting for “Yahweh” our ‘living, and loving,’ “God;” he is our help, and our shield, 21 for in him our heart rejoices, in his holy name, we trust.” (Psalms 33:12-13, 14-15, 20-21) Gospel, (Luke 4:38-44) “38 Leaving the synagogue, “Jesus Christ,” he went to Simons house. Now, Simons mother-in-law was in the grip of a high fever, and they asked “Jesus Christ” to do something for her. 39 Standing over her, “Jesus Christ,” he rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she immediately got up, and began to serve them. 40 At sunset all those who had friends suffering from diseases of one kind or another brought them to “Jesus Christ” who is our ‘living, and loving,’ “God,” and he laying his hands on each, “Jesus Christ” cured them. 41 Devils too came out of many people, shouting, “Jesus Christ,” You are the Son of God. But he warned them, and would not allow them to speak because they knew that “Jesus,” he was the “Christ.” 42 When daylight came, “Jesus Christ,” he left the house, and made his way to a lonely place. The crowds went to look for him, and when they had caught up with “Jesus Christ,” they wanted to prevent him leaving them, 43 but “Jesus Christ,” he answered, I must proclaim the “Good News” of the “Kingdom of God” to the other towns, too because that is what I was sent to do. 44 And “Jesus Christ,” he continued his proclamation in the synagogues of Judaea.” (Luke 4:38-44)
