Catholic Daily Mass Readings for February 26 2025, Wednesday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time (1)

First Reading – Sirach 4:11-19

11 Wisdom breathes life into her children and admonishes those who seek her.

12 He who loves her loves life; those who seek her will be embraced by the Lord.

13 He who holds her fast inherits glory; wherever he dwells, the LORD bestows blessings.

14 Those who serve her serve the Holy One; those who love her the LORD loves.

15 He who obeys her judges nations; he who hearkens to her dwells in her inmost chambers.

16 If one trusts her, he will possess her; his descendants too will inherit her.

17 She walks with him as a stranger and at first she puts him to the test; Fear and dread she brings upon him and tries him with her discipline until she try him by her laws and trust his soul.

18 Then she comes back to bring him happiness and reveal her secrets to them and she will heap upon him treasures of knowledge and an understanding of justice.

19 But if he fails her, she will abandon him and deliver him into the hands of despoilers.
