Reading I

Zech 8:20-23

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, until people come and dwell in many cities,

And the inhabitants go one to another, saying: Let us go, and entreat the face of the Lord, and let us seek the Lord of hosts: I also will go.

And many peoples, and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the face of the Lord.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days, wherein ten men of all languages of the Gentiles shall take hold, and shall hold fast the skirt of one that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 87:1b-3, 4-5, 6-7

For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are the holy mountains:

The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.

Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.

Gospel Acclamation

Mark 10:45

For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto: but to minister and to give his life a redemption for many.

Gospel

Luke 9:51-56

And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

And he sent messengers before his face: and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.

And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.

And when his disciples, James and John, had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?

And turning, he rebuked them, saying: you know not of what spirit you are.

The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.

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.
