Reading I

Eph 2:19-22

Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners: but you are fellow citizens with the saints and the domestics of God,

Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:

In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.

In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 19:2-3, 4-5

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.

Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.

There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

Gospel

Luke 6:12-19

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray: and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.

And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples: and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles):

Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon who is called Zelotes,

And Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor.

And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place: and the company of his disciples and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast, both of Tyre and Sidon,

Who were come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And they that were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.

And all the multitude sought to touch him: for virtue went out from him and healed all.
