1ST READING: Romans 9:1-5

Brethren: I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen by race. They are Israelites, and to them belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.

The Word of The Lord!.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 147

R. O Jerusalem, glorify the  Lord!

O Sion, praise your God! He has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.

R. O Jerusalem, glorify the  Lord!

He established peace on your borders; he gives you your fill of finest wheat. He sends out his word to the earth, and swiftly runs his command.

R. O Jerusalem, glorify the  Lord!

He reveals his word to Jacob; to Israel, his decrees and judgments. He has not dealt thus with other nations; he has not taught them his judgments.

R. O Jerusalem, glorify the  Lord!

ACCLAMATION: 

 R. ALLELUIA. 

My sheep hear my voice, says the  Lord; and I know them, and they follow me.

R. ALLELUIA. 

GOSPEL Luke 14:1-6

One sabbath when  Jesus went to dine at the house of a ruler who belonged to the Pharisees, they were watching him. And behold, there was a man before him who had dropsy. And  Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?" But they were silent. Then he took him and healed him, and let him go. And he said to them, "Which of you, having an ass or an ox that has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on a sabbath day?" And they could not reply to this.
