Daily Reading for Tuesday, April 9th, 2024

Reading 1, Acts 4:32-37

³² The whole group of believers was united, heart and soul; no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, as everything they owned was held in common.

³³ The apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power, and they were all accorded great respect.

³⁴ None of their members was ever in want, as all those who owned land or houses would sell them, and bring the money from the sale of them,

³⁵ to present it to the apostles; it was then distributed to any who might be in need.

³⁶ There was a Levite of Cypriot origin called Joseph whom the apostles surnamed Barnabas (which means 'son of encouragement').

³⁷ He owned a piece of land and he sold it and brought the money and presented it to the apostles.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 93:1, 1-2, 5

¹ Yahweh is king, robed in majesty, robed is Yahweh and girded with power.

² The world is indeed set firm, it can never be shaken; your throne is set firm from of old, from all eternity you exist.

⁵ Your decrees stand firm, unshakeable, holiness is the beauty of your house, Yahweh, for all time to come.
