Wednesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time (II)

Official Translation

Reading 1 – Proverbs 30.5-9

Every word of God is flawless.
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Do not add to his words,
lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.

Two things I have asked of you:
Do not deny them to me before I die:
Remove far from me falsehood and lies.
Give me neither poverty nor riches.
Feed me with the food that is needful for me,
lest I be full, deny you, and say, “Who is the Lord?”
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.

Responsorial – Psalm 119.29, 72, 89, 101, 104, 163 Resp. 105

R. Your word is a lamp to my feet.

Keep me from the way of deceit.
Grant me your law graciously!

R. Your word is a lamp to my feet.

The law of your mouth is better to me
than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

R. Your word is a lamp to my feet.

Lord, your word is settled forever.
It is settled in heaven.

R. Your word is a lamp to my feet.

I have kept my feet from every evil way,
that I might observe your word.

R. Your word is a lamp to my feet.

Through your precepts, I get understanding;
therefore I hate every false way.

R. Your word is a lamp to my feet.

I hate and abhor falsehood.
I love your law.

R. Your word is a lamp to my feet.

Gospel – Luke 9.1-6

Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power
and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
He sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey,
neither a walking stick, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money,
and no one shall have a second tunic.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
Those who do not receive you,
when you depart from that city,
shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.”
They departed, and went throughout the villages,
preaching the Good News, and healing everywhere.
