October 3, 2026 Have a good day! ----- Saturday of the Twenty-sixth Week in Ordinary Time ----- ☆ Gospel: Luke 10:17-24 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/Luke_10_17-24 And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name. And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star. See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage. Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven. In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes. All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear. And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see: For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not. ----- ☆ Job 42:1-3, 5-6, 12-17 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/Job_42_1-3_5-6_12-17 Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth? Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue? Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you? Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women? Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders? I will not keep quiet about the parts of his body, or about his power, and the strength of his frame. Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron? Who has made open the doors of his face? Fear is round about his teeth. His back is made of lines of plates, joined tight together, one against the other, like a stamp. One is so near to the other that no air may come between them. They take a grip of one another; they are joined together, so that they may not be parted. ----- ◇ Daily Readings October 3, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/100326.cfm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/listen/ -----
