Reading I

Songs 8:6-7

Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames.

Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 148:1bc-2, 11-13a, 13c-14

Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.

Praise ye him, all his angels, praise ye him, all his hosts.

Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:

Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:

For his name alone is exalted.

The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.

Gospel

Luke 10:38-42

Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

And she had a sister called Mary. who, sitting also at the Lord's feet, heard his word.

But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, hast thou no care that my sister hath left me alone to serve? Speak to her therefore, that she help me.

And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art careful and art troubled about many things:

But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.
