Gospel: Luke 11:27-28

27 It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!"

28 But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it."

Joel 3:12-21

12 "Let the nations arouse themselves,
and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat;
for there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

13 Put in the sickle;
for the harvest is ripe.
Come, tread, for the wine press is full,
the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near, in the valley of decision.

15 The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.

16 The LORD will roar from Zion,
and thunder from Jerusalem;
and the heavens and the earth will shake;
but the LORD will be a refuge to his people,
and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

17 "So you will know that I am the LORD, your God,
dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem will be holy,
and no strangers will pass through her any more.

18 It will happen in that day,
that the mountains will drop down sweet wine,
the hills will flow with milk,
all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters,
and a fountain will flow out from the LORD's house,
and will water the valley of Shittim.

19 Egypt will be a desolation,
and Edom will be a desolate wilderness,
for the violence done to the children of Judah,
because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

20 But Judah will be inhabited forever,
and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21 I will cleanse their blood,
that I have not cleansed:
for the LORD dwells in Zion."
