Gospel of the Day (Luke 11,5-13)

Jesus said to his disciples: "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,'
and he says in reply from within, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.'
I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.
And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish?
Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg?
If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"

*WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7TH 2026.*

*THE TWENTY-SEVENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR II.*

*THE MEMORIAL OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY.*

*FIRST READING*
“They perceived the grace that was given to me.”

*A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians (GALATIANS 2: 1 - 2, 7 - 14)*

Brethren: After fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I went up by revelation; and I laid before them (but privately before those who were of repute) the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, lest somehow I should be running or had run in vain. But on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised (for he who worked through Peter for the mission to the circumcised worked through me also for the Gentiles), and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised; only they would have us remember the poor, which very thing I was eager to do. But when Cephas came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. And with him the rest of the Jews acted insincerely, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity. But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

*The Word of the Lord.*

*RESPONSORIAL PSALM*
Taken from Psalm 117: 1, 2 (R.) Mark 16: 15

And the response is;
*R/. Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel.*
Or:
*Alleluia.*

O praise the Lord, all you nations;
acclaim him, all you peoples! *R/.*

For his merciful love has prevailed over us;
and the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. *R/.*

*Alleluia.*
You have received the spirit of sonship; in him we cry, “Abba! Father!”
*Alleluia.*

*GOSPEL*
“Lord, teach us to pray.”

*A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (LUKE 11: 1 - 4)*

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray, say:
“Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.”

*The Gospel of the Lord.*

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, Pray for Us: Whatever You Are Carrying Tonight, Bring It to Her

Today the Church celebrates Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, and my heart feels full. Over the years, I have come to see Mama Mary as the one who listens when I run out of words. She does not ask for perfect prayers. She simply takes whatever I bring, the worries, the unanswered questions, the quiet hopes, and places them before her Son.

The rosary has been prayed through wars, storms, sickness, and ordinary tiring days. Generations of families have held on to these same beads, and somehow they have always been enough. If it has carried them, it can carry us too.

Maybe you are tired today. Maybe you are afraid of something you cannot name. Maybe you have been away from prayer for a long time. Pick up your rosary anyway. Even one decade is enough, and she will be there to meet you.

Pray with me: "Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us. Cover our families with your mantle, strengthen those who are weary, comfort those who are hurting, and lead us always closer to Jesus. Amen."

Leave your prayer intention in the comments and I will pray for you. Share this with someone who needs Mama Mary's comfort today, and type "Amen" if you are praying the rosary with us.

Gospel of the Day (Luke 11,1-4)

Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."
He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread
and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test."
