Reading I

Rom 9:1-5

I speak the truth in Christ: I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:

That I have great sadness and continual sorrow in my heart.

For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren: who are my kinsmen according to the flesh:

Who are Israelites: to whom belongeth the adoption as of children and the glory and the testament and the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises:

Whose are the fathers and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.

Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.

Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.

Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.

Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.

He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.

Gospel Acclamation

John 10:27

My sheep hear my voice. And I know them: and they follow me.

Gospel

Luke 14:1-6

And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy.

And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him and sent him away.

And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day?

And they could not answer him to these things.

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.
