Tuesday of the Twenty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time (II)

Official Translation

Reading 1 – 1 Corinthians 12.12-14, 27-31a

Brothers and sisters:
just as the body is one and has many parts,
and all the parts of the body, being many, are one body;
thus also is Christ.
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body,
whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free,
and we all were given to drink one Spirit.
For the body is not one part but many.

Now you are the body of Christ, and parts by shares.
God has set some in the Church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers,
then miracles, then gifts of healings, helping,
administering, and various kinds of tongues.
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?
Are all miracle workers? 30 Do all have gifts of healings?
Do all speak with various tongues? Do all interpret?
But earnestly strive through imitation for the greater charisms.

Responsorial – Psalm 100.1b-2, 3, 4, 5 Resp. 3

R. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before his presence with singing.

R. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who has made us, and we are his.
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

R. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, and bless his name.

R. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

For the Lord is good.
His loving kindness endures forever,
his faithfulness to all generations.

R. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Gospel – Luke 7.11-17

Jesus went to a city called Nain.
Many of his disciples, along with a great crowd, went with him.
When he came near to the gate of the city,
behold, one who was dead was carried out,
the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.
Many people of the city were with her.
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her,
and said to her, “Do not cry.”
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still.
He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
He who was dead sat up, and began to speak.
And he gave him to his mother.
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying,
“A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
This report went out concerning him
in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
