Catholic Daily Mass Readings and Prayers 30 April 2022 || Reading 1 – Acts 6:1-7

¹ About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked.

² So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food;

³ you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom, to whom we can hand over this duty.

⁴ We ourselves will continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’

⁵ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism.

⁶ They presented these to the apostles, and after prayer they laid their hands on them.

⁷ The word of the Lord continued to spread: the number of disciples in Jerusalem was greatly increased, and a large group of priests made their submission to the faith.

¹ Shout for joy, you upright; praise comes well from the honest.

² Give thanks to Yahweh on the lyre, play for him on the ten-stringed lyre.

⁴ The word of Yahweh is straightforward, all he does springs from his constancy.

⁵ He loves uprightness and justice; the faithful love of Yahweh fills the earth.

¹⁸ But see how Yahweh watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his faithful love,

¹⁹ to rescue them from death and keep them alive in famine.

¹⁶ That evening the disciples went down to the shore of the sea

¹⁷ and got into a boat to make for Capernaum on the other side of the sea. It was getting dark by now and Jesus had still not rejoined them.

¹⁸ The wind was strong, and the sea was getting rough.

¹⁹ They had rowed three or four miles when they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming towards the boat. They were afraid,

²⁰ but he said, ‘It’s me. Don’t be afraid.’

²¹ They were ready to take him into the boat, and immediately it reached the shore at the place they were making for.

Prayer to Saint Joseph for Success in Work

Glorious St. Joseph,
model of all those who are devoted to labour,
obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously,
putting the call of duty above my many sins;
to work with thankfulness and joy,
considering it an honour to employ and develop,
by means of labour,
the gifts received from God;
to work with order,
peace, prudence and patience,
never surrendering to weariness or difficulties;
to work, above all,
with purity of intention,
and with detachment from self,
having always death before my eyes
and the account which I must render of time lost,
of talents wasted,
of good omitted,
of vain complacency in success
so fatal to the work of God.
All for Jesus,
all for Mary,
all after thy example,
O Patriarch Joseph.
Such shall be my motto in life and death.
