First Reading: Colossians 1: 1-8
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 52: 10-11
Holy Gospel: Luke 4:38-44


Holy Gospel:

38 Leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to the house of Simon. His mother-in-law was suffering from high fever and they asked him to do something for her. 39 Bending over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and waited on them.

40 At sunset, people suffering from many kinds of sickness were brought to Jesus. Laying his hands on each one, he healed them. 41 Demons were driven out, howling as they departed from their victims, “You are the Son of God!” He rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, for they knew he was the Messiah.

42 Jesus left at daybreak and looked for a solitary place. People went out in search of him and, finding him, they tried to dissuade him from leaving. 43 But he said, “I have to go to other towns to announce the good news of the kingdom of God. That is what I was sent to do.” 44 So Jesus continued to preach in the synagogues of the Jewish country.


First Reading:

1 Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God and Timothy our brother,

2 to the saints in Colossae, our faith­ful brothers and sisters in Christ:
Receive grace and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Thanks be to God, the Father of Christ Jesus, our Lord!
We constantly pray for you, 4 for we have known of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints. Indeed you await in hope the inheritance reserved for you in heaven, of which you have heard through the word of truth. This Gospel, 6 already present among you, is bearing fruit and growing through­out the world, as it did among you from the day you accepted it and understood the gift of God in all its truth.

7 He who taught you, Epa­phras, our dear com­panion in the service of Christ, faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, has reminded me of the love you have for me in the spirit.


Responsorial Psalm:

10 But I am as a green olive tree that thrives in the house of God: I trust in God’s unfailing love forever and ever.

11 I will praise you forever for all you have done, and proclaim your good name be­fore the faithful ones.
