September 30, 2026 Have a good day! ----- Memorial of Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church ----- ☆ Gospel: Luke 9:57-62 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/Luke_9_57-62 And when they were on the way, a certain man said to him, I will come after you wherever you go. And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have resting-places, but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head. And he said to another, Come after me. But he said, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father. But he said to him, Let the dead take care of their dead; it is for you to go and give news of the kingdom of God. And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house. But Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough and looking back, is good enough for the kingdom of God. ----- ☆ Job 9:1-12, 14-16 Dramatic Reading https://hanamori.info/bible/en/Job_9_1-12_14-16 And Job made answer and said, Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God? If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions. He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it? It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath: Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking: Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining. By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea: Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south: Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number. See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him. If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing? How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him? Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me. If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice. ----- ◇ Daily Readings September 30, 2026 https://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/093026.cfm ◇ Abiding Radio Instrumental (BGM) https://www.abidingradio.org/listen/ -----
