READING: Romans
1: 1-7
1
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated
unto the gospel of God,
2
Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy
scriptures,
3
Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David,
according to the flesh,
4
Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the
spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus
Christ from the dead;
5
By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the
faith, in all nations, for his name;
6
Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
7
To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints.
Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus
Christ.
PSALM:
Psalms 98:
1-4
1
Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful
things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is
holy.
2
The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice
in the sight of the Gentiles.
3
He hath remembered his mercy his truth toward the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4
Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.
GOSPEL:
Luke 11: 29-32
29
And the multitudes running together, he began to say: This generation
is a wicked generation: it asketh a sign, and a sign shall not be
given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30
For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninivites; so shall the Son of man
also be to this generation.
31
The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of
this generation, and shall condemn them: because she came from the
ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold more than
Solomon here.
32
The men of Ninive shall rise in the judgment with this generation,
and shall condemn it; because they did penance at the preaching of
Jonas; and behold more than Jonas here.
