Monday of the 1st week of Ordinary Time

1In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets; 2lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world. 3And since the Son is the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and is carrying all things by the Word of his virtue, thereby accomplishing a purging of sins, he sits at the right hand of Majesty on high. 4And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs. 5For to which of the Angels has he ever said: “You are my Son; today have I begotten you?” Or again: “I will be a Father to him, and he shall be a Son to me?” 6And again, when he brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore him.”

1This is to David, when his land was restored to him. The Lord has reigned, let the earth exult. Let the many islands rejoice.

2Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.

…

6The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.

7May all those who adore graven images be confounded, along with those who glory in their false images. All you his Angels: Adore him.

…

9For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.

14Then, after John was handed over, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God, 15and saying: “For the time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the Gospel.” 16And passing by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17And Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 18And at once abandoning their nets, they followed him. 19And continuing on a little ways from there, he saw James of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were mending their nets in a boat. 20And immediately he called them. And leaving behind their father Zebedee in the boat with his hired hands, they followed him.
