First Reading: Wisdom 1: 1-7
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 139: 1-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-10
Holy Gospel: Luke 17:1-6
Holy Gospel
1 Jesus said to his disciples, “Scandals will necessarily come and cause people to fall; but woe to the one who has brought it about. 2 It would be better for that one to be thrown into the sea with a millstone around the neck. Truly this would be better for that person than to cause one of these little ones to fall.
3 Be careful. If your brother offends you, rebuke him and if he is sorry, forgive him. 4 And if he offends you seven times in a day but says to you seven times: ‘I’m sorry,’ forgive him.”
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” And the Lord said, 6 “If you have faith even the size of a mustard seed, you may say to this tree: ‘Be uprooted and plant yourself in the sea,’ and it will obey you.
First Reading
1 Love justice, you who rule over the world. Think rightly of God, seek him with simplicity of heart, 2 for he reveals himself to those who do not challenge him and is found by those who do not distrust him.
3 Crooked thinking distances you from God, and his Omnipotence, put to the test, confounds the foolish.
4 Wisdom does not enter the wicked nor remain in a body that is enslaved to sin. 5 The Holy Spirit who instructs us shuns deceit; it keeps aloof from foolishness and is ill at ease when injustice is done.
6 Wisdom is a spirit, a friend to man, and will not leave the blasphemous unpunished, because God knows his innermost feelings, truly sees his thoughts and hears what he says.
7 For God’s spirit has filled the whole world and he who holds together all things, knows each word that is spoken.
Responsorial Psalm
1 O Lord, you know me:
you have scrutinized me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
beforehand you discern my thoughts.
3 You observe my activities and times of rest;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is formed in my mouth,
you know what it is all about, O Lord.
5 From front to back you hedge me round,
shielding me with your protecting hand.
6 Your knowledge leaves me astounded,
it is too high for me to reach.
7 Where else could I go from your Spirit?
Where could I flee from your presence?
8 You are there if I ascend the heavens;
you are there if I descend to the depths.
9 If I ride on the wings of the dawn
and settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall guide me
and your right hand shall hold me safely.
