FIRST
READING: Proverbs
30: 5 - 9
5
Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in
him.
6
Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a
liar:
7
Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
8
Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary,
nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
9
Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who
is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and
forswear the name of my God.
PSALM:
Psalms 119:
29, 72, 89, 101, 104, 163
29
Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on
me.
72
The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and
silver.
89
For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven.
101
I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy
words.
104
By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated
every way of iniquity.
163
I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law.
GOSPEL:
Luke 9:
1 - 6
1
Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and
authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3
And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff,
nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
4
And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart
not from thence.
5
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city,
shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.
6
And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the
gospel, and healing everywhere.
