Reading I

Col 2:6-15

As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in him:

Rooted and built up in him and confirmed in the faith, as also you have learned: abounding in him in thanksgiving.

Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy and vain deceit: according to the tradition of men according to the elements of the world and not according to Christ.

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally.

And you are filled in him, who is the head of all principality and power.

In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand in despoiling of the body of the flesh: but in the circumcision of Christ.

Buried with him in baptism: in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him up from the dead.

And you, when you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences:

Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross.

And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 145:1b-2, 8-9, 10-11

Praise, for David himself. I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.

The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.

They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:

Gospel Acclamation

See John 15:16

You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

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.

About These Readings

Scripture text from the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision, 1899), which is in the public domain. The Mass readings follow the Lectionary for Mass approved for the dioceses of the United States.

The Douay-Rheims follows the Vulgate numbering, which in the Psalms, Sirach, and a few other books can differ by a chapter or a few verses from the numbering in the modern Lectionary. The text is the same passage.
