Reading I
Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren: and that for strangers,
Who have given testimony to thy charity in the sight of the church. Whom thou shalt do well to bring forward on their way in a manner worthy of God:
Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
We therefore ought to receive such: that we may be fellow helpers of the truth.
Responsorial Psalm
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.
Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.
Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:
Because he shall not be moved for ever.
Gospel Acclamation
Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions, which you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.
Gospel
And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint,
Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man.
And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man,
Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard?
I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
