November 9, 2026 Have a good day! ----- Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome ----- ☆ Gospel: John 2:13-22 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/John_2_13-22 The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats: And he made a whip of small cords and put them all out of the Temple, with the sheep and the oxen, sending in all directions the small money of the changers and overturning their tables; And to those who were trading in doves he said, Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a market. And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house. Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things? And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days. The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days! But his words were about that holy building which was his body. So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said. ----- ☆ Ezekiel 47:1-2, 8-9, 12 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/Ezekiel_47_1-2_8-9_12 And he took me back to the door of the house; and I saw that waters were flowing out from under the doorstep of the house on the east, for the house was facing east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south side of the altar. And he took me out by the north doorway, and made me go round to the outside of the doorway looking to the east; and I saw waters running slowly out on the south side. And he said to me, These waters are flowing out to the east part of the land and down into the Arabah; and they will go to the sea, and the waters will be made sweet. And it will come about that every living and moving thing, wherever their streams come, will have life; and there will be very much fish because these waters have come there and have been made sweet: and everything wherever the river comes will have life. And by the edge of the river, on this side and on that, will come up every tree used for food, whose leaves will ever be green and its fruit will not come to an end: it will have new fruit every month, because its waters come out from the holy place: the fruit will be for food and the leaf will make well those who are ill. ----- ☆ 1 Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/1_Corinthians_3_9c-11_16-17 You are God's building. In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it. But let every man take care what he puts on it. For there is no other base for the building but that which has been put down, which is Jesus Christ. Do you not see that you are God's holy house, and that the Spirit of God has his place in you? If anyone makes the house of God unclean, God will put an end to him; for the house of God is holy, and you are his house. ----- ◇ Daily Readings November 9, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/110926.cfm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/listen/ -----
