Tuesday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1
2 Peter 3:12-15a, 17-18

Beloved:
Wait for and hasten the coming of the day of God,
because of which the heavens will be dissolved in flames
and the elements melted by fire.
But according to his promise
we await new heavens and a new earth
in which righteousness dwells.

Therefore, beloved, since you await these things,
be eager to be found without spot or blemish before him, at peace.
And consider the patience of our Lord as salvation.

Therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned,
be on your guard not to be led into the error of the unprincipled
and to fall from your own stability.
But grow in grace
and in the knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
To him be glory now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Responsorial
Psalm 90:2, 3-4, 10, 14 and 16

R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

Before the mountains were begotten
and the earth and the world were brought forth,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

You turn man back to dust,
saying, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in your sight
are as yesterday, now that it is past,
or as a watch of the night.

R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

Seventy is the sum of our years,
or eighty, if we are strong,
And most of them are fruitless toil,
for they pass quickly and we drift away.

R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

Fill us at daybreak with your kindness,
that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
Let your work be seen by your servants
and your glory by their children.

R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.

Alleluia
Ephesians 1:17-18

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

May the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
enlighten the eyes of our hearts,
that we may know what is the hope
that belongs to his call.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel
Mark 12:13-17

Some Pharisees and Herodians were sent
to Jesus to ensnare him in his speech.
They came and said to him,
“Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man
and that you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion.
You do not regard a person’s status
but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?
Should we pay or should we not pay?”
Knowing their hypocrisy he said to them,
“Why are you testing me?
Bring me a denarius to look at.”
They brought one to him and he said to them,
“Whose image and inscription is this?”
They replied to him, “Caesar’s.”
So Jesus said to them,
“Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
and to God what belongs to God.”
They were utterly amazed at him.

Daily Meditation: 2 Peter 1:2-7

Make every effort to supplement your faith. (2 Peter 1:5)

St. Peter seems to be saying two different things in our first reading. He begins by reassuring us that God’s “divine power has bestowed on us everything” we need to become holy (2 Peter 1:3). But then he exhorts us, “Make every effort to supplement your faith” with virtue, knowledge, and the fruit of the Spirit (1:5). So do we just have to rely on God’s “divine power,” or do we have to work at it by “supplementing” our faith?

Both. We need to have faith that all the power we need to follow Christ is there for the asking. But we also have work to do!

The key is to keep these two seemingly opposing approaches together. If we ask the Lord for the grace to stop a particular sin, for example, but don’t also make the effort to resist the temptations that come our way, we probably will succumb to them. On the other hand, if we just grit our teeth and try to strong-arm our way through temptation without asking the Lord to help us, we will quickly realize that our willpower will get us only so far.

Is there some area in which you’ve been asking for God’s help but haven’t seen much change? If so, maybe there’s something he’s calling you to do to work with him. It might mean removing yourself from a tempting situation or spending more time serving others so that you grow in generosity and love.

Or perhaps you are trying so hard on your own that you forget that it’s God’s “divine power” that you need each day (2 Peter 1:3). If so, try to remember to ask for his help when you face a temptation or trial.

God is so good! He is eager to give us everything we need to live a holy life. But he doesn’t want us to be passive and miss out on all he has for us. It’s the start of a new month—let’s choose to cooperate with the grace and power that God so willingly pours out on us!

“Lord, your grace is always sufficient. Help me to do my part!”

Psalm 91:1-2, 14-16
Mark 12:1-12

Daily Prayer

"Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits which you have given us; for all the pains and insults which you have borne for us. O most merciful redeemer, friend, and brother, may we know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, for your own sake! (Prayer of St. Richard of Chichester, 13th century) "

Memorial of Saint Justin, Martyr

Reading 1
2 Peter 1:2-7

Beloved:
May grace and peace be yours in abundance
through knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

His divine power has bestowed on us
everything that makes for life and devotion,
through the knowledge of him
who called us by his own glory and power.
Through these, he has bestowed on us
the precious and very great promises,
so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature,
after escaping from the corruption that is in the world
because of evil desire.
For this very reason,
make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue,
virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control,
self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion,
devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love.


Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 91:1-2, 14-15b, 15c-16

R. In you, my God, I place my trust.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
Say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

R. In you, my God, I place my trust.

Because he clings to me, I will deliver him;
I will set him on high because he acknowledges my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in distress.

R. In you, my God, I place my trust.

I will deliver him and glorify him;
with length of days I will gratify him
and will show him my salvation.

R. In you, my God, I place my trust.


Alleluia
See Revelation 1:5ab

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Jesus Christ, you are the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead;
you have loved us and freed us from our sins by your Blood.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel
Mark 12:1-12

Jesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes,
and the elders in parables.
"A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it,
dug a wine press, and built a tower.
Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey.
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants
to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard.
But they seized him, beat him,
and sent him away empty-handed.
Again he sent them another servant.
And that one they beat over the head and treated shamefully.
He sent yet another whom they killed.
So, too, many others; some they beat, others they killed.
He had one other to send, a beloved son.
He sent him to them last of all, thinking, 'They will respect my son.'
But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir.
Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
So they seized him and killed him,
and threw him out of the vineyard.
What then will the owner of the vineyard do?
He will come, put the tenants to death,
and give the vineyard to others.
Have you not read this Scripture passage:

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes?"

They were seeking to arrest him, but they feared the crowd,
for they realized that he had addressed the parable to them.
So they left him and went away.

Daily Meditation: Exodus 34:4-6, 8-9

The Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity. (Exodus 34:6)

If you had to describe God in just a few words, what would you say? In today’s first reading, God gives us his own answer: “merciful and gracious” and “slow to anger and rich in kindness” (Exodus 34:6). So on this feast of the Holy Trinity, let’s celebrate the fact that God has revealed himself in such a moving way.

“Father, I praise you because you are always in control. Your plans can’t be deterred by the schemes of any enemy. I am your child, loved and cherished, called and set apart for you, and I know I can rest in you. I trust you, I worship you, and I thank you for drawing me and my loved ones close to you.

“Jesus, you revealed the humility of God when you came to us as a child under the authority of a mother and a father. Because of your lowliness, I’m not afraid to acknowledge my weakness and littleness. You showed us how important it is to obey your heavenly Father when you stayed behind in Jerusalem as an independent pr***en. You showed it again when you humbly submitted to John’s baptism, resisted the temptations of the devil, and emptied yourself on the cross. Because of you, I can say yes to my Father. I can resist temptation. I can even bring your love and healing to those around me.

“Holy Spirit, you are the glory of God who has been poured out to give us a glimpse of heaven. You are the One who transforms and comforts me. I am so grateful that you are with me and in me as I walk this journey on earth. Thank you for filling me, dwelling in me, teaching me, and guiding me every day of my life. Come and fill me afresh today!”

“I praise you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!”

(Psalm) Daniel 3:52-56
2 Corinthians 13:11-13
John 3:16-18

Daily Prayer

"May the Lord Jesus put his hands on our eyes also, for then we too shall begin to look not at what is seen but at what is not seen. May he open the eyes that are concerned not with the present but with what is yet to come, may he unseal the heart's vision, that we may gaze on God in the Spirit, through the same Lord, Jesus Christ, whose glory and power will endure throughout the unending succession of ages. (prayer of Origin, 185-254 AD) "

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Reading 1
Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9

Early in the morning Moses went up Mount Sinai
as the LORD had commanded him,
taking along the two stone tablets.

Having come down in a cloud, the LORD stood with Moses there
and proclaimed his name, "LORD."
Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out,
"The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity."
Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship.
Then he said, "If I find favor with you, O Lord,
do come along in our company.
This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins,
and receive us as your own."


Responsorial Psalm
Daniel 3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56

R. Glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever;
And blessed is your holy and glorious name,
praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.

R. Glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory,
praiseworthy and glorious above all forever.

R. Glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.

R. Glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you who look into the depths
from your throne upon the cherubim,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.

R. Glory and praise for ever!


Reading 2
2 Corinthians 13:11-13

Brothers and sisters, rejoice.
Mend your ways, encourage one another,
agree with one another, live in peace,
and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the holy ones greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
and the love of God
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.


Alleluia
Cf. Revelation 1:8

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
to God who is, who was, and who is to come.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel
John 3:16-18

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,
but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,
because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Daily Meditation: Jude 17, 20-25

To the only God, our savior, . . . be glory, majesty, power, and authority from ages past, now, and for ages to come. (Jude 25)

Did you know that this is the only day in the entire Church year that we read from the Letter of Jude? It’s one of the shortest books of the Bible, made up of just twenty-five verses, and Jude spends much of the time urging his readers to hold firm to the gospel. He tells them to be on guard against false teachings and warns against “intruders” (4) who deny Christ and his authority, defile Eucharistic celebrations by their promiscuity, and reject the teachings of the apostles.

Considering all of Jude’s urgent warnings, today’s reading might seem out of place. It’s a beautiful song of praise that comes from the very end of his letter. In it, rather than warning his readers, he encourages them to focus on the gracious majesty and power and authority of God. He extols the God “who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished and exultant, in the presence of his glory” (24). And he says that the “glory, majesty, power, and authority” belong to God “for ages to come” (25).

What a great way to keep our perspective as we face our own confusion or anxiety! Maybe, like those early Christians, we are apprehensive about unrest in the world around us. We love the Lord and want to follow him but might fear losing our way amid contradictory voices or teachers.

Don’t let these concerns overshadow your vision of who God is! Remember what Jude proclaims: God is the One who can keep you from stumbling. No matter what obstacles or pitfalls you face, he can bring you into his presence because he has all power and authority. He is greater than anything that can come against us. We have the grace of being children of God, beloved and held by the One who dwells in majesty and glory! We are in God’s hands, and he will not let us go.

“Lord, my God and Savior, to you be all glory and praise!”

Psalm 63:2-6
Mark 11:27-33
