15th Sunday of Ordinary Time

12And Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Juda: and eat bread there, and prophesy there. 13But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom. 14And Amos answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs. 15And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.

9I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.

10Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.

11Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.

12Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.

13For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.

14Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ: 4As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. 5Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will: 6Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son. 7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace, 8Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence, 9That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, 10In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him. 11In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will. 12That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ: 13In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise, 14Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.

7And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. 8And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only: no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse, 9But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats. 10And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place. 11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them. 12And going forth they preached that men should do penance: 13And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
