September 24, 2026 Have a good day! ----- Thursday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time ----- ☆ Gospel: Luke 9:7-9 Dramatic Reading https://pebutty.net/bible/en/Luke_9_7-9 Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead; And by some, that Elijah had come; and by others, that one of the old prophets had come back to life. And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him. ----- ☆ Ecclesiastes 1:2-11 Dramatic Reading https://pebutty.net/bible/en/Ecclesiastes_1_2-11 Of laughing I said, It is foolish; and of joy--What use is it? I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life. I undertook great works, building myself houses and planting vine-gardens. I made myself gardens and fruit gardens, planting in them fruit-trees of all sorts. I made pools to give water for the woods with their young trees. I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me. I got together silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I got makers of song, male and female; and the delights of the sons of men--girls of all sorts to be my brides. And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me. And nothing which was desired by my eyes did I keep from them; I did not keep any joy from my heart, because my heart took pleasure in all my work, and this was my reward. Then I saw all the works which my hands had made, and everything I had been working to do; and I saw that all was to no purpose and desire for wind, and there was no profit under the sun. ----- ◇ Daily Readings September 24, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/092426.cfm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/listen/ -----
