October 25, 2026 Have a good day! ----- Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time ----- ☆ Gospel: Matthew 22:34-40 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/Matthew_22_34-40 But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together; And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying, Master, which is the chief rule in the law? And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest rule. And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. On these two rules all the law and the prophets are based. ----- ☆ Exodus 22:20-26 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/Exodus_22_20-26 Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord. Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt. Do no wrong to a widow, or to a child whose father is dead. If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear; And in the heat of my wrath I will put you to death with the sword, so that your wives will be widows and your children without fathers. If you let any of the poor among my people have the use of your money, do not be a hard creditor to him, and do not take interest. If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down: ----- ☆ 1 Thessalonians 1:5c-10 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/1_Thessalonians_1_5c-10 Even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you. And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit; So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia. For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything. For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God, Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come. ----- ◇ Daily Readings October 25, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/102526.cfm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/listen/ -----
