THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2023 Thursday of the 27th Week in Ordinary TimeFeast of Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the ChurchFeast of Our Lady of AparecidaMemorial of St Edistus, Martyr on the Via ArdeatinaMemorial of St. Seraphin of Montegranaro, Lay Capuchin[GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: Lk 11:5-13 Jesus said to his disciples:"Suppose one of you has a friendto whom he goes at midnight and says,'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journeyand I have nothing to offer him,'and he says in reply from within,'Do not bother me; the door has already been lockedand my children and I are already in bed.I cannot get up to give you anything.'I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loavesbecause of their friendship,he will get up to give him whatever he needsbecause of his persistence."And I tell you, ask and you will receive;seek and you will find;knock and the door will be opened to you.For everyone who asks, receives;and the one who seeks, finds;and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.What father among you would hand his son a snakewhen he asks for a fish?Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg?If you then, who are wicked,know how to give good gifts to your children,how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spiritto those who ask him?"
