Gospel : Matthew 9:9-13
9
As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." He got up and followed him.
10
As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11
When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
12
When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13
But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
-----
Genesis 23:1-4, 19; 24:1-8, 62-67
23:1
Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah's life.
2
Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
3
Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
4
"I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."
19
After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
24:1
Abraham was old, and well advanced in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.
2
Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh.
3
I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.
4
But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac."
5
The servant said to him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?"
6
Abraham said to him, "Beware that you don't bring my son there again.
7
Yahweh, the God of heaven--who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, 'I will give this land to your offspring--he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
8
If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this oath to me. Only you shall not bring my son there again."
62
Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.
63
Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, there were camels coming.
64
Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got off the camel.
65
She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?"
The servant said, "It is my master."
She took her veil, and covered herself.
66
The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67
Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

Feast of Saint Thomas, Apostle
-----
Gospel : John 20:24-29
24
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came.
25
The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord!"
But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
26
After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, "Peace be to you."
27
Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don't be unbelieving, but believing."
28
Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
29
Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
-----
Ephesians 2:19-22
19
So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
20
being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
21
in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
22
in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

Gospel : Matthew 8:28-34
28
When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.
29
Behold, they cried out, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
30
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them. 31 The demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."
32
He said to them, "Go!"
They came out and went into the herd of pigs; and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water.
33
Those who fed them fled and went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
34
Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
-----
Genesis 21:5, 8-20a
5
Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him.
8
The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9
Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
10
Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac."
11
The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son.
12
God said to Abraham, "Don't let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.
13
I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child."
14
Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15
The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.
16
She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, "Don't let me see the death of the child." She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
17
God heard the voice of the boy.
The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Don't be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.
18
Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation."
19
God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.
20a
God was with the boy, and he grew.

Gospel : Matthew 8:23-27
23
When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24
Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.
25
The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord! We are dying!"
26
He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27
The men marveled, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
-----
Genesis 19:15-29
15
When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city."
16
But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife's hand, and his two daughters' hands, the LORD being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
17
It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life! Don't look behind you, and don't stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!"
18
Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord.
19
See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can't escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
20
See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn't it a little one?), and my soul will live."
21
He said to him, "Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
22
Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23
The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
24
Then the LORD rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of the sky.
25
He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
26
But Lot's wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27
Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
28
He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29
When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19

20
Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

-----
Genesis 18:16-33
16
The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
17
The LORD said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
18
since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
19
For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him."
20
The LORD said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
21
I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know."
22
The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23
Abraham came near, and said, "Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
24
What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
25
May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"
26
The LORD said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake."
27
Abraham answered, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, although I am dust and ashes.
28
What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?"
He said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."
29
He spoke to him yet again, and said, "What if there are forty found there?"
He said, "I will not do it for the forty's sake."
30
He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?"
He said, "I will not do it if I find thirty there."
31
He said, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?"
He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."
32
He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?"
He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."
33
The LORD went his way as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

Now when Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
14
They said, "Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17
Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18
I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
19
I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven."
-----
Acts 12:1-11
1
Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
2
He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3
When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
4
When he had arrested him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5
Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
6
The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
7
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly!" His chains fell off his hands.
8
The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak and follow me."
9
And he went out and followed him. He didn't know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
10
When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
11
When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
-----
2 Timothy 4:6-8, 17-18
6
For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
7
I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
8
From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
17
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Have a good day!

Saturday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Matthew 8:5-17
5
When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
6
saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."
7
Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
8
The centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9
For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
10
When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, "Most certainly I tell you, I haven't found so great a faith, not even in Israel.
11
I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,
12
but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
13
Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." His servant was healed in that hour.
14
When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever.
15
He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.
16
When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
17
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases."
-----
Genesis 18:1-15
1
The LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
2
He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
3
and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don't go away from your servant.
4
Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
5
I will get a piece of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant."
They said, "Very well, do as you have said."
6
Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly prepare three seahs of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes."
7
Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.
8
He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
9
They asked him, "Where is Sarah, your wife?"
He said, "There, in the tent."
10
He said, "I will certainly return to you at about this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son."
Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
11
Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
12
Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
13
The LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child when I am old?'
14
Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes around, and Sarah will have a son."
15
Then Sarah denied it, saying, "I didn't laugh," for she was afraid.
He said, "No, but you did laugh."

Have a good day!

Solemnity of Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
-----
Gospel : Luke 15:3-7
3 He told them this parable:
4
"Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'
7
I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
-----
Ezekiel 34:11-16
11
" 'For the Lord GOD says: "Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
12
As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13
I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14
I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
15
I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down," says the Lord GOD.
16
"I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice." '
-----
Romans 5:5b-11
5
and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6
For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.
8 But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.
10
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
11
Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Gospel : Matthew 7:21-29
21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22
Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'
23
Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
24
"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25
The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26
Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27
The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell?and its fall was great."
28
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

Genesis 16:1-12, 15-16
1
Now Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no children. She had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2
Sarai said to Abram, "See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing. Please go in to my servant. It may be that I will obtain children by her." Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
3
Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.
4
He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. When she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
5
Sarai said to Abram, "This wrong is your fault. I gave my servant into your bosom, and when she saw that she had conceived, she despised me. May the LORD judge between me and you."
6
But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your maid is in your hand. Do to her whatever is good in your eyes." Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
7
The LORD's angel found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain on the way to Shur.
8
He said, "Hagar, Sarai's servant, where did you come from? Where are you going?"
She said, "I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai."
9
The LORD's angel said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands."
10
The LORD's angel said to her, "I will greatly multiply your offspring, that they will not be counted for multitude."
11
The LORD's angel said to her, "Behold, you are with child, and will bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your affliction.
12
He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers."
15
Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

He will be like a wild donkey among men. His hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. He will live opposed to all of his brothers."
15
Hagar bore a son for Abram. Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

Have a good day!

Wednesday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Matthew 7:15-20
15
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit, but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
19 Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18
1
After these things the LORD's word came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."
2
Abram said, "Lord† GOD, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"
3
Abram said, "Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir."
4
Behold, the LORD's word came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir."
5
The LORD brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." He said to Abram, "So your offspring will be."
6
He believed in the LORD, who credited it to him for righteousness.
7
He said to Abram, "I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."
8
He said, "Lord GOD, how will I know that I will inherit it?"
9
He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
10
He brought him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn't divide the birds.
11
The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12
When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
17
It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
18
In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

Have a good day!
-----
Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist
Mass during the Day
-----
Gospel : Luke 1:57-66, 80
57
Now the time that Elizabeth should give birth was fulfilled, and she gave birth to a son.
58
Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her, and they rejoiced with her.
59
On the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60
His mother answered, "Not so; but he will be called John."
61
They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."
62
They made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
63
He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, "His name is John."
They all marveled.
64
His mouth was opened immediately and his tongue freed, and he spoke, blessing God.
65
Fear came on all who lived around them, and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea.
66
All who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, "What then will this child be?" The hand of the Lord was with him.
80
The child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, and was in the desert until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
-----
Isaiah 49:1-6
1
Listen, islands, to me.
Listen, you peoples, from afar:
the LORD has called me from the womb;
from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.
2
He has made my mouth like a sharp sword.
He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand.
He has made me a polished shaft.
He has kept me close in his quiver.
3
He said to me, "You are my servant,
Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
4
But I said, "I have labored in vain.
I have spent my strength in vain for nothing;
yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD,
and my reward with my God."
5
Now the LORD, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,
says to bring Jacob again to him,
and to gather Israel to him,
for I am honorable in the LORD's eyes,
and my God has become my strength.
6
Indeed, he says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
and to restore the preserved of Israel.
I will also give you as a light to the nations,
that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth."
-----
Acts 13:22-26
22
When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
23
From this man's offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
24
before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
25
As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
26
"Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.

Gospel : Matthew 7:1-5
1
"Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
2
For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?
4
Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye,' and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
5
You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

Genesis 12:1-9
1
Now the LORD said to Abram, "Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father's house, and go to the land that I will show you.
2
I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
3
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you."
4
So Abram went, as the LORD had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5
Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.
6
Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
7
The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your offspring."
He built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
8
He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD‡ and called on the LORD's name.
9
Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.

Gospel : Luke 9:11b-17
11b
He welcomed them, spoke to them of God's Kingdom, and he cured those who needed healing.
12
The day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms and lodge and get food, for we are here in a deserted place."
13
But he said to them, "You give them something to eat."
They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people."
14
For they were about five thousand men.
He said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each."
15
They did so, and made them all sit down.
16
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the sky, he blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17
They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

Genesis 14:18-20

Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.

Blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand."
Abram gave him a tenth of all.

For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
24
When he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me."
25
In the same way he also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me."
26
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

Gospel : Matthew 6:24-34
24
"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon.
25
Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26
See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?
27
"Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
28
Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin,
29
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31
"Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
32
For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33
But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
34
Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
-----
2 Corinthians 12:1-10
1
It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2
I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago?whether in the body, I don't know, or whether out of the body, I don't know; God knows.
3
I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don't know; God knows),
4
how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5
On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
6
For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
7
By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
8
Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9
He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
10
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?
27
"Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
28
Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin,
29
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31
"Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?'
32
For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33
But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
34
Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
-----
2 Corinthians 12:1-10
1
It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast, but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2
I know a man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago?whether in the body, I don't know, or whether out of the body, I don't know; God knows.
3
I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don't know; God knows),
4
how he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5
On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
6
For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.
7
By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
8
Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9
He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
10
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

Gospel : Matthew 6:19-23
19
"Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
20
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don't break through and steal;
21
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22
"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23
But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
-----
2 Corinthians 11:18, 21-30
18
Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
21
To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
22
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I.
23
Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often.
24
Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews.
25
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
26
I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
27
in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
28
Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies.
29
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don't burn with indignation?
30
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.

Thursday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time
-----
Gospel : Matthew 6:7-15
7
In praying, don't use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8 Therefore don't be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
9 Pray like this:
" 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10 Let your Kingdom come.
Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts,
as we also forgive our debtors.
13 Bring us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.'
14
"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
-----
2 Corinthians 11:1-11
1
I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
2
For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you in marriage to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3
But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn't preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn't receive, or a different "good news" which you didn't accept, you put up with that well enough.
5
For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles.
6
But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things.
7
Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?
8
I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
9
When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn't a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
10
As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11
Why? Because I don't love you? God knows.

Gospel : Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18
1
"Be careful that you don't do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2
Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don't sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3
But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4
so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5
"When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
6
But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
-----
2 Corinthians 9:6-11
6
Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7
Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work.
9
As it is written,
"He has scattered abroad. He has given to the poor.
His righteousness remains forever."
10
Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
11
you being enriched in everything for all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

Gospel : Matthew 5:43-48
43
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44
But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
45
that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
46
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
47
If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
48
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
-----
2 Corinthians 8:1-9
1
Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia,
2
how in a severe ordeal of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their generosity.
3
For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
4
begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship in the service to the saints.
5
This was not as we had expected, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
6
So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace.
7
But as you abound in everything?in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us?see that you also abound in this grace.
8
I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.

However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
14
He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.
15
All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.

Proverbs 8:22-31
22
"The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work,
before his deeds of old.
23
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
before the earth existed.
24
When there were no depths, I was born,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25
Before the mountains were settled in place,
before the hills, I was born;
26
while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
27
When he established the heavens, I was there.
When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
28
when he established the clouds above,
when the springs of the deep became strong,
29
when he gave to the sea its boundary,
that the waters should not violate his commandment,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30
then I was the craftsman by his side.
I was a delight day by day,
always rejoicing before him,
31
rejoicing in his whole world.
My delight was with the sons of men.
-----
Romans 5:1-5
1
Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
2
through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3
Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;
4
and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5
and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Gospel : Matthew 5:33-37
33
"Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,'
34
but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36
Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black.
37
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
-----
2 Corinthians 5:14-21
14
For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.
15
He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
16
Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
18
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19
namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20
We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21
For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Gospel : Matthew 5:27-32
27
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;'
28
but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29
If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
30
If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
31
"It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,'
32
but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
-----
2 Corinthians 4:7-15
7
But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves.
8
We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
9
pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
10
always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
11
For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.
12
So then death works in us, but life in you.
13
But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke." We also believe, and therefore we also speak,
14
knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.
15
For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
