First Reading: Romans 1:1-7

The beginning of the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,
called to be an apostle,
set apart for the gospel of God which he promised beforehand
through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
the gospel concerning his Son,
who was descended from David according to the flesh
and designated Son of God in power
according to the Spirit of holiness
by his resurrection from the dead,
Jesus Christ our Lord,
through whom we have received grace and apostleship
to bring about the obedience of faith
for the sake of his name
among all the nations,
including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;

to all God’s beloved in Rome,
who are called to be saints:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Word of the Lord.

 

 

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 98:1.2-3ab.3cd-4 (R. 2a)

Let us now pray the Responsorial Psalm:

R/. The Lord has made known his salvation.

O sing a new song to the Lord,
for he has worked wonders.
His right hand and his holy arm
have brought salvation.

The Lord has made known his salvation,
has shown his deliverance to the nations.
He has remembered his merciful love
and his truth for the house of Israel.

All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
Shout to the Lord, all the earth;
break forth into joyous song,
and sing out your praise.

R/. The Lord has made known his salvation.

Please stand for the Gospel.

Alleluia, alleluia.
Today, harden not your hearts, but listen to the voice of the Lord.
Alleluia.

 

 

Gospel: Luke 11:29-32

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.

At that time:
When the crowds were increasing,
Jesus began to say,
“This generation is an evil generation;
it seeks a sign,
but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh,
so will the Son of man be to this generation.
The queen of the South will arise at the judgment
with the people of this generation and condemn them;
for she came from the ends of the earth
to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold,
something greater than Solomon is here.
The people of Nineveh will arise at the judgment
with this generation and condemn it;
for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold,
something greater than Jonah is here.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Communion Antiphon.
The Good Shepherd has laid down his life for his sheep.
