Reading I

Hag 1:1-8

In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, saying:

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, saying: This people saith: The time is not yet come for building the house of the Lord.

And the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:

Is it time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie desolate?

And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways.

You have sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he that hath earned wages, put them into a bag with holes.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways:

Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build the house: and it shall be acceptable to me, and I shall be glorified, saith the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 149:1b-2, 3-4, 5-6a+9b

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church of the saints.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Let them praise his name in choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.

Gospel Acclamation

John 14:6

Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.

Gospel

Luke 9:7-9

Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him. And he was in a doubt, because it was said

By some that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared: and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.

And Herod said: John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

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.
