First Reading: Joel 4: 12-21
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 97: 1-2, 5-6, 11-12
Holy Gospel: Luke 11: 27-28


Holy Gospel:


27 As Jesus was speaking, a woman spoke from the crowd and said to him, “Blessed is the one who bore you and nursed you!” 28 Jesus replied, “Surely blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it as well.”


First Reading:

12 Rise up, O peoples, and come to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, nations.

13 Bring a sickle for the harvest is ripe; come and tread for the winepress is full and the vats overflow, so great is their wickedness!

14 Multitudes and more multitudes in the Valley of Verdict! The day of Yahweh is near in the Valley of Verdict! 15 The sun and the moon become dark, the stars lose their radiance. 16 Yah­weh roars from Zion and raises his voice from Jeru­salem; heaven and earth are shaken. Indeed Yahweh is a refuge for his people, a strong­hold for the Israelites. 17 You will know that I am Yahweh, your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain. Jerusalem will be a holy place, and foreigners will never pass through there again.

18 On that day the mountains shall drip wine and the hills flow with milk; all the streams of Judah will run with water and a fountain will spring from the House of Yahweh, and water the valley of Shittim.

19 On the other hand, Egypt will be devastated and Edom will become a deserted wasteland because they committed violence against Judah, and shed innocent blood in their country. 20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jeru­salem through all generations. 21 And I shall avenge their blood and not leave it unpunished, for Yahweh dwells in Zion.


Responsorial Psalm:

1 The Lord reigns; let the earth rejoice;
let the distant islands be glad.

2 Clouds and darkness surround him;
justice and right are his throne.

5 The mountains melt like wax

before the Lord, the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his justice,
all peoples see his glory.


11 He sheds light upon the upright,
and gladness upon the just.

12 Rejoice in the Lord, you who are blameless,
and give praise to his holy name.
