First Reading: Rev 10:8-11

A reading from the Book of Revelation

The voice which I, John, had heard from heaven
spoke to me again, saying,
“Go, take the scroll
which is open in the hand of the angel
who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
So I went to the angel
and told him to give me the little scroll;
and he said to me,
“Take it and eat;
it will be bitter to your stomach,
but sweet as honey in your mouth.”
And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel
and ate it;
it was sweet as honey in my mouth,
but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
And I was told,
“You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations
and tongues and kings.”

The Word of the Lord.

 

Responsorial psalm: Ps 119:14.24.72.103.111.131

R./ How sweet is your promise to my tongue, O Lord!

I rejoice in the way of your precepts,
as though all riches were mine.

See, your decrees are my delight
your statutes are my counsellors.

The law from your mouth means more to me
than large quantities of silver and gold.

How sweet is your promise to my tongue,
more than honey in the mouth.

Your decrees are my heritage forever,
the joy of my heart.

I have opened my mouth and I sigh,
for I yearn for your commands.

R/ How sweet is your promise to my tongue, O Lord!

 

Gospel Acclamation:
Alleluia, Alleluia. My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; and I know them, and they follow me. Alleluia.

 

Gospel: Luke 19:45-48

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

At that time: Jesus entered the temple
and began to drive out those who sold, saying to them,
“It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’;
but you have made it a den of robbers.”
And he was teaching daily in the temple.
The chief priests and the scribes
and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him;
but they did not find anything they could do,
for all the people hung upon his words.

The Gospel of the Lord.
