Memorial of Saint Isidore the Farmer
Gospel:
16 Truly, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his master, nor is the messenger greater than he who sent him. 17 Understand this, and blessed are you if you put it into practice.
18 I am not speaking of you all, because I know the ones I have chosen and the Scripture has to be fulfilled that says, The one who shared my table has risen against me. 19 I tell you this now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may know that I am He.
20 Truly, I say to you, whoever welcomes the one I send, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the One who sent me.”
First Reading:
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions set sail and came to Perga in Pamphylia. There John left them and returned to Jerusalem 14 while they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they entered the synagogue and sat down. 15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the officials of the synagogue sent this message to them, “Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the assembly, please speak up.”
16 So Paul arose, motioned to them for silence and began, “Fellow Israelites and also all you who fear God, listen. 17 The God of our people Israel chose our ancestors, and after he had made them increase during their stay in Egypt, he led them out by powerful deeds. 18 For forty years he fed them in the desert, 19 and after he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. 20 All this took four hundred and fifty years. 21 After that, he gave them Judges until Samuel the prophet. Then they asked for a king and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin, and he was king for forty years. 22 After that time, God removed him and raised up David as king, to whom he bore witness saying: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do all I want him to do.
23 It is from the descendants of David that God has now raised up the promised savior of Israel, Jesus. 24 Before he appeared, John proclaimed a baptism of repentance for all the people of Israel. 25 As John was ending his life’s work, he said: ‘I am not what you think I am, for after me another one is coming whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.’
Psalm:
2 I will sing forever, O Lord, of your love and proclaim your faithfulness from age to age.
3 I will declare how steadfast is your love, how firm your faithfulness.
21 I have found David my servant, and with my holy oil I have anointed him.
22 My hand will be ever with him and my arm will sustain him,
25 My faithfulness and love will be with him, and by my help he will be strong.
27 He will call on me, ‘You are my Father, my God, my Rock, my Savior.’
