September 11, 2026 Have a good day! ----- Friday of the Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time ----- ☆ Gospel: Luke 6:39-42 Dramatic Reading https://pebutty.net/bible/en/Luke_6_39-42 And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, Is it possible for one blind man to be guide to another? will they not go falling together into a hole? The disciple is not greater than his master, but everyone whose learning is complete will be like his master. And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye? How will you say to your brother, Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye, when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one! first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your brother's eye. ----- ☆ 1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22b-27 Dramatic Reading https://pebutty.net/bible/en/1_Corinthians_9_16-19_22b-27 For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not. But if I do it gladly, I have a reward; and if not, I am under orders to do it. What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news. For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation. I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation. And I do all things for the cause of the good news, so that I may have a part in it. Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward. And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown. So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air: But I give blows to my body, and keep it under control, for fear that, after having given the good news to others, I myself might not have God's approval. ----- ◇ Daily Readings September 11, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/091126.cfm ☆ The Bible in Basic English BBE https://www.biblestudytools.com/bbe/ ◇ The Holy Bible[King James Version] https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kj/index.htm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/listen/ -----
