Holy Gospel:

19 Many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to offer consolation at their brother's death.

20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him while Mary remained sitting in the house. 21 And she said to Jesus, "If you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But I know that what­ever you ask from God, God will give you." 23 Jesus said, "Your brother will rise again."

24 Martha replied, "I know that he will rise in the resurrection, at the last day." 25 But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection; whoever believes in me, though he die, shall live. 26 Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

27 Martha then answered, "Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world."


First Reading:

Yahweh spoke to Moses, "Then there are the appointed feasts of Yahweh at the times fixed for them, when you are to proclaim holy assemblies.

At twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month is Yahweh’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of this month it is Yahweh’s feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat bread without leaven. On the first day there will be a sacred assembly and no work of a worker shall be done. 8 For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to Yahweh and on the seventh day you shall hold a sacred assembly and do no work of a worker.
Offering of the first sheaf"

Yahweh spoke to Moses and said, 10 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I will give you and you reap its harvest, you will bring to the priest a sheaf, the firstfruits of your harvest 11 and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh for you to be accepted; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
15 From the day after the sabbath, on which you bring the sheaf of offering, you are to count seven full weeks. 16 The day after the seventh sabbath will be the fiftieth day and then you are to offer Yahweh a new offering.
27 The tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly. You must fast, and you must offer a burnt offering to Yah­weh.
 
34 Speak to the Israelites and say to them:

The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of Tents for Yahweh, lasting seven days. 35 The first day you shall hold an assembly; you must do no work of a worker. 36 For seven days you must offer a burnt offering to Yahweh. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and you must offer a burnt offering to Yahweh. It is a day of solemn assembly in which you shall do no work of a worker.

37 These are the appointed feasts of Yahweh in which you are to proclaim holy assemblies for the purpose of offering offerings by fire, burnt offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings to Yahweh, according to the ritual of each day"


Responsorial:

3 Start the music, strike the timbrel,
play melodies on the harp and lyre.

Sound the trumpet at the new moon,
on our feastday when the moon is full.

5 This is a decree for Israel,
an ordinance of the God of Jacob,

a statute he wrote for Joseph

10 There shall be no strange god among you,
you shall not worship any alien god,

11 for I the Lord am your God,
who led you forth from the land of Egypt.
