Wednesday July 15 Gospel: 'The Lord does not reject his people'

The daily readings, taken from the book of Isaiah, open with a warning against the pride of Assyria. The passage (Is 10, 5-7.13-16) denounces the empire that believes itself master of its own power, without recognizing that it is an instrument of the divine will. The final verse of the excerpt —"My hand has seized the riches of the peoples, as if..."— leaves the sentence hanging. The liturgy for Wednesday July 15 also includes the homily by Father Santiago Martín, of the Franciscans of Mary, and the prayer of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, recommended at 3 p.m.

Saints of the day
According to Vatican News, the date recalls several saints. The community that trinc this celebration prepares for the Holy Rosary at 10 p.m.

A tradition of unceasing prayer
The daily publication of the Gospel and the readings, together with the Chaplet, reflects a devotional practice that remains alive in digital settings. The quotation from the Desert Fathers —the Apophthegmata— adds a layer of eremitical spirituality, a nod to the monastic tradition that continues to inspire.

The full Gospel has not been reproduced in this edition, but the message of the title —"The Lord does not reject his people"— resounds as a promise of hope amid the Old Testament readings.
