Reading 1 – Micah 5.1-4a
The LORD says:
You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah,
too small to be among the clans of Judah,
from you one will come for me
who is to be ruler in Israel;
whose origins are from of old,
from ancient times.
Therefore the Lord will abandon them
until the time when she who is in labor gives birth.
Then the rest of his brothers will return to the children of Israel.
He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God:
and they will remain, for then he will be great
even to the ends of the earth.
He shall be peace.
Responsorial – Psalm 80.2-3, 15-16, 18-19 Resp. 4
R. Turn us back, O God, and cause your face to shine on us, and we shall be saved.
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
You who dwell among the cherubim, shine forth.
Stir up your strength,
and come to save us.
R. Turn us back, O God, and cause your face to shine on us, and we shall be saved.
Return, we beseech you, O God of Hosts.
Look down from heaven and see,
Visit this vine and the vineyard
which your right hand has planted,
the son whom you made strong for yourself.
R. Turn us back, O God, and cause your face to shine on us, and we shall be saved.
Let your hand be upon the human of your right hand,
upon the son of human whom you made strong for yourself.
So we will not withdraw from you;
Enliven us and we will call upon your name.
R. Turn us back, O God, and cause your face to shine on us, and we shall be saved.
Reading 2 – Hebrews 10.5-10
Brothers and sisters:
When Christ came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but you prepared a body for me;
You had no pleasure in holocausts and sin offerings.
Then I said, as it is written in the scroll of the book,
“Behold, I have come to do your will, O God.”
He said before, “Sacrifices and offerings
holocausts and sin offerings
you neither desired nor had pleasure in.”
These are offered according to the law.
Then he said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.”
He takes away the first,
that he may establish the second,
by this will we have been sanctified
through the offering of
the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Gospel – Luke 1.39-45
Mary arose in those days
and went into the hill country with haste,
into a town of Judah,
and entered into the house of Zachariah
and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the baby leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
She called out with a loud voice, and said,
“Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Why am I so favored,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For behold, when the voice of your greeting
came to my ears,
the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
Blessed is she who believed,
that there will be a fulfillment of the things
which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”

Reading 1 – Sirach 48.1-4, 9-11
Elijah the prophet arose like a fire,
And his word burned like a torch:
He brought a famine upon them,
and by his zeal made them few in number.
By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven:
Thrice did he thus bring down fire.
How you are glorified, O Elijah, in your wondrous deeds!
And who shall have glory like yours?
You were taken up in a tempest of fire,
In a chariot of fiery horses:
It is written that you are destined in time to come
to pacify anger before the day of the Lord,
to turn the heart of the father to the son,
and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
Blessed are they that saw you,
and they that have been beautified with love.
Responsorial – Psalm 80.2ac+3b, 15-16, 18-19 Resp. 4

Gospel – Matthew 17.9a, 10-13
As they were coming down from the mountain, his disciples asked Jesus, saying,
“Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Jesus answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,
but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him,
but did to him whatever they wanted to.
Even so the Son of Human will also suffer by them.”
Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.

Reading 1 – Hosea 11.1-4, 8e-9
Thus says the LORD:
“When Israel was a child, I loved him;
out of Egypt I called my son.
I called them,
but they went away from me.
They sacrificed to the Baals,
and burned incense to idols.
Yet I taught Ephraim to walk.
I took them in my arms;
but they did not know that I healed them.
I drew them with human cords,
with ties of love;
and I was to them
like those who lift up the yoke on their necks;
and I bent down to them and I fed them.
My heart is turned within me,
my compassion is aroused.
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger.
I will not return to destroy Ephraim:
for I am God, and not man;
the Holy One among you;
and I will not come in wrath.

Gospel – Matthew 10.7-15
Jesus said to his Apostles:
As you go, preach, saying,
‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
and cast out demons.
Freely you received,
so freely give.
Do not take any gold, silver, or copper
in your money belts.
Take no bag for your journey,
nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staff:
for the laborer is worthy of his food.
Into whatever city or village you enter,
find out who in it is worthy;
and stay there until you go on.
As you enter into the household, greet it.
If the household is worthy,
let your peace come on it,
but if it is not worthy,
let your peace return to you.
Whoever does not receive you,
nor hears your words,
go out of that house or that city,
and shake off the dust from your feet.
Amen I say to you,
it will be more tolerable for
the land of Sodom and Gomorrah
in the day of judgment than for that city.

Reading 1 – 2 Samuel 1.1-4, 11-12, 19, 23-27
David returned
from the slaughter of the Amalekites,
and stayed two days in Ziklag.
On the third day, behold,
a man came out of Saul’s camp,
with his clothes torn, and earth on his head,
When he came to David,
he fell to the earth, and showed respect.
David said to him, “Where do you come from?”
He said to him, “I have escaped
out of the camp of Israel.”
David said to him,
“How did it go? Please tell me.”
He answered, “The people
have fled from the battle,
and many of the people also
have fallen and are dead;
and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.”
Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them;
and likewise all the men who were with him.
They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening,
for Saul, and for Jonathan his son,
and for the people of the Lord,
and for the house of Israel;
because they were fallen by the sword.
“Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places!
How the mighty have fallen!
Saul and Jonathan were
lovely and pleasant in their lives.
In their death, they were not divided.
They were swifter than eagles.
They were stronger than lions.
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,
who clothed you in scarlet delicately,
who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
How the mighty are fallen in the midst of the battle!
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan.
You have been very pleasant to me.
Your love to me was wonderful,
passing the love of women.
How the mighty have fallen,
and the weapons of war perished!”
Responsorial – Psalm 80.2-3, 5-7 Resp. 4b
R. Cause your face to shine on us, O Lord, and we will be saved.
Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock,
you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
stir up your might!
Come to save us!
R. Cause your face to shine on us, O Lord, and we will be saved.
Lord God of hosts, how long will you be angry
against the prayer of your people?
You have fed them with the bread of tears,
and given them tears to drink in large measure.
You make us a source of contention to our neighbors.
Our enemies laugh among themselves.
R. Cause your face to shine on us, O Lord, and we will be saved.
Gospel – Mark 3.20-21
Jesus went into the house,

Reading 1 - Isaiah 63.16b-17, 19b; 64.2-7
You, O LORD, are our father,
your name, “Our Redeemer”, is from eternity.
O LORD, why did you let us
go astray from your ways
and harden our hearts against fear of you?
Return, for your servants' sake,
to the tribes of your inheritance.
O that you would rend the heavens!
O that you would come down!
O that the mountains might erupt at your presence!
As when you did amazing things
which we did not expect,
As when you came down,
and the mountains erupted at your presence.
As from the beginning of time humans had not heard.
Ear has not heard nor has the eye seen
a god other than you,
who has prepared such things
for those who wait for him.
You meet the one who rejoices in righteous deeds,
who remembers you and your ways,
in which are our preservation and salvation.
Behold, you are angry for we have sinned
We are all like something unclean,
and all our good deeds are as filthy rags.
We all fade like leaves,
and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
There is no one who calls upon your name,
who stirs themself up to take hold of you.
You conceal your face from us,
and you are melting us in the hand of our iniquities.
But you, O LORD, are our Father.
We are the clay and you are our potter.
We are all the work of your hand.

I give thanks to my God always concerning you,
for the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus,
that in everything you are enriched in him,
in all speech and all knowledge.

Therefore you are not lacking in any gift,

blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Faithful is the God through whom you were called into
fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Gospel – Mark 13.33-37
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Look out! Stay awake!
For you do not know

It is like a human going on a journey,
leaving their house
and giving authority to their servants,
to each their own work
and a command to the doorman
that they would stay awake.
Therefore, stay awake.
For you do not know
when the master of the house will come
Whether late or at midnight
or when the rooster crows
or in the morning.
Lest he come suddenly
and find you sleeping.
