Catholic Daily Reading 24th January
"And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David
went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David
seven choirs, and calves for victims.
And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed and ox and a ram:
And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod.
And David and all the louse of Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and with sound of
trumpet.
And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it:
and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord.
And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of
hosts.
And he distributed to all the multitude of Israel, both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted
beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his own house."
2 Samuel 6.12-15,17-19
"Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory."
Psalm 24.7,8,9,10
"And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren?
And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren.
For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother."
Mark 3.31-35
