Memorial of Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus

Readings for the Memorial of Saints Martha, Mary, and Lazarus Reading 1 Jeremiah 15:10, 16-21 Woe to me, mother, that you gave me birth!a man of strife and contention to all the land!I neither borrow nor lend,yet all curse me.When I found your words, I devoured them;they became my joy and the happiness of my heart,Because I bore your name,O LORD, God of hosts.I did not sit celebratingin the circle of merrymakers;Under the weight of your hand I sat alonebecause you filled me with indignation.Why is my pain continuous,my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?You have indeed become for me a treacherous brook,whose waters do not abide!Thus the LORD answered me:If you repent, so that I restore you,in my presence you shall stand;If you bring forth the precious without the vile,you shall be my mouthpiece.Then it shall be they who turn to you,and you shall not turn to them;And I will make you toward this peoplea solid wall of brass.Though they fight against you,they s

Tuesday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 Jeremiah 14:17-22 Let my eyes stream with tearsday and night, without rest,Over the great destruction which overwhelmsthe virgin daughter of my people,over her incurable wound.If I walk out into the field,look! those slain by the sword;If I enter the city,look! those consumed by hunger.Even the prophet and the priestforage in a land they know not.Have you cast Judah off completely?Is Zion loathsome to you?Why have you struck us a blowthat cannot be healed?We wait for peace, to no avail;for a time of healing, but terror comes instead.We recognize, O LORD, our wickedness,the guilt of our fathers;that we have sinned against you.For your name's sake spurn us not,disgrace not the throne of your glory;remember your covenant with us, and break it not.Among the nations' idols is there any that gives rain?Or can the mere heavens send showers?Is it not you alone, O LORD,our God, to whom we look?You alone have done all these things. Responsorial Psalm

Monday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 Jeremiah 13:1-11 The LORD said to me: Go buy yourself a linen loincloth;wear it on your loins, but do not put it in water.I bought the loincloth, as the LORD commanded, and put it on.A second time the word of the LORD came to me thus:Take the loincloth which you bought and are wearing,and go now to the Parath;there hide it in a cleft of the rock.Obedient to the LORD’s command, I went to the Parathand buried the loincloth.After a long interval, the LORD said to me: Go now to the Parath and fetch the loinclothwhich I told you to hide there.Again I went to the Parath, sought out and took the loinclothfrom the place where I had hid it.But it was rotted, good for nothing!Then the message came to me from the LORD: Thus says the LORD:So also I will allow the pride of Judah to rot,the great pride of Jerusalem.This wicked people who refuse to obey my words,who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts,and follow strange gods to serve and ador

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 1 Kings 3:5, 7-12 The LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night. God said, "Ask something of me and I will give it to you." Solomon answered:"O LORD, my God, you have made me, your servant, kingto succeed my father David;but I am a mere youth, not knowing at all how to act. I serve you in the midst of the people whom you have chosen,a people so vast that it cannot be numbered or counted. Give your servant, therefore, an understanding heartto judge your people and to distinguish right from wrong. For who is able to govern this vast people of yours?"The LORD was pleased that Solomon made this request. So God said to him:"Because you have asked for this—not for a long life for yourself,nor for riches, nor for the life of your enemies,but for understanding so that you may know what is right—I do as you requested. I give you a heart so wise and understandingthat there has never been

Feast of Saint James, Apostle

Reading 1 2 Corinthians 4:7-15 Brothers and sisters: We hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being given up to death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. Since, then, we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, I believed, therefore I spoke, we too believe and therefore speak, knowing that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and place us with you in his presence. Everything indeed is for you, so that the grace bestowed in abundance on more and more people may cause the tha

Friday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 Jeremiah 3:14-17 Return, rebellious children, says the LORD,for I am your Master;I will take you, one from a city, two from a clan,and bring you to Zion.I will appoint over you shepherds after my own heart,who will shepherd you wisely and prudently.When you multiply and become fruitful in the land,says the LORD,They will in those days no longer say,“The ark of the covenant of the LORD!”They will no longer think of it, or remember it, or miss it, or make another.At that time they will call Jerusalem the LORD’s throne;there all nations will be gathered togetherto honor the name of the LORD at Jerusalem,and they will walk no longer in their hardhearted wickedness. Responsorial Psalm Jeremiah 31:10, 11-12abcd, 13 R. (see 10d) The Lord will guard us as a shepherd guards his flock.Hear the word of the LORD, O nations,proclaim it on distant isles, and say:He who scattered Israel, now gathers them together,he guards

Thursday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1 Jeremiah 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13 This word of the LORD came to me:Go, cry out this message for Jerusalem to hear!I remember the devotion of your youth,how you loved me as a bride,Following me in the desert,in a land unsown.Sacred to the LORD was Israel,the first fruits of his harvest;Should any presume to partake of them,evil would befall them, says the LORD.When I brought you into the garden land to eat its goodly fruits,You entered and defiled my land,you made my heritage loathsome.The priests asked not,“Where is the LORD?”Those who dealt with the law knew me not:the shepherds rebelled against me.The prophets prophesied by Baal,and went after useless idols.Be amazed at this, O heavens,and shudder with sheer horror, says the LORD.Two evils have my people done:they have forsaken me, the source of living waters;They have dug themselves cisterns,broken cisterns, that hold no water. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 36:6-7ab, 8-9, 10-11
