“Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way. …”

CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Saturday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time 2.16.19 – USCCB/ NABRE
“In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat, Jesus summoned the disciples and said,
‘My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days
and have nothing to eat. If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a great distance.’ … taking the seven loaves He gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to His Disciples to distribute … They also had a few fish. He said the Blessing over them and ordered them distributed also. They ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over – seven baskets. There were about four thousand people. …”

“‘Is a lamp brought in to be placed under a bushel basket or under a bed, and not to be placed on a lampstand?
For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible; nothing is secret except to come to light. … The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you, and still more will be given to you. …”
CATHOLIC MASS READINGS: Wednesday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time 1.30.19 – USCCB/ NABRE
“‘… The Sower sows the Word. These are the ones on the path where the word is sown. As soon as they hear, Satan comes at once and takes away the word sown in them. And these are the ones sown on rocky ground who, when they hear the word, receive it at once with joy. But they have no roots; they last only for a time. … when tribulation or persecution comes because of the Word, they quickly fall away. Those sown among thorns are another sort. They are the people who hear the word, but worldly anxiety, the lure of riches, and the craving for other things intrude and choke the Word, and it bears no Fruit. But those sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the Word and accept it and bear fruit thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.'”

“Jesus entered the synagogue. There was a man … who had a withered hand. … [Jesus] said to the Pharisees, ‘Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?’ … grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ … and his hand was restored. The Pharisees … immediately took counsel with the Herodians … to put Him to death.”

“Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? … the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away …then they will fast …. No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. … Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins.”

“There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee …. When the wine ran short, the Mother of Jesus said to Him, ‘They have no wine.’ … His Mother said to the servers, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ … Jesus told the them, ‘Fill the jars with water.’ … when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine … the headwaiter … ‘… you have kept the good wine until now.’ Jesus did this as the beginning of His Signs at Cana in Galilee and so revealed His Glory, and His Disciples began to believe in Him.”
