First Reading: Zechariah 8: 1-8
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 102: 16-21, 29 and 22-23
Holy Gospel: Luke 9: 46-50
Holy Gospel:
46 One day the disciples were arguing about which of them was the most important. 47 But Jesus knew their thoughts, so he took a little child and stood him by his side. 48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. And listen: the one who is found to be the least among you all, is the one who is the greatest.”
49 Then John spoke up, “Master, we saw someone who drove out demons by calling upon your name, and we tried to forbid him because he doesn’t follow you with us.” 50 But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him. He who is not against you is for you.”
First Reading:
1 The word of Yahweh, the God of hosts was directed to me in this way, 2 “I am intensely jealous for Zion, stirred by a burning anger for her sake. 3 Yahweh says: I will return to Zion and live in her midst. Jerusalem shall be called City of faithfulness and the Mountain of Yahweh of hosts, the Mountain of holiness.”
4 Yahweh, God of hosts speaks, “Old men and women will again sit in the squares, each with a stick in hand on account of their great age. 5 The squares of the city will be filled with girls and boys playing.”
6 Yahweh, God of hosts declares, “If that seems impossible in the eyes of those who have returned from exile, will it be impossible for me as well?” – word of Yahweh.
7 Yahweh, God of hosts says, “See, I am going to save my people, 8 bringing them from the east and from the west and they will live in Jerusalem. They will be my people and I shall be their God in truth and in justice.”
Responsorial Psalm:
The Lord will build up Zion again, and appear in all His Glory.
16 O Lord, the nations will revere your name, and the kings of the earth your glory,
17 when the Lord will rebuild Zion and appear in all his splendor.
18 For he will answer the prayer of the needy and will not despise their plea.
19 Let this be written for future ages, “the Lord will be praised by a people he will form.”
20 From his holy height in heaven, the Lord has looked on the earth 21 to hear the groaning of the prisoners, and free those condemned to death.
29 Your servants’ children will dwell secure; their posterity will endure without fail.
22 Then the name of the Lord will be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
23 when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship him.
