Monday of the 22nd week of Ordinary Time

13For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him. 14For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept. 15For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment, and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ, shall rise first. 16Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord. 17Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.

1A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

…

3Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

4For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

…

11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:

12The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

13Before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.

16And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day; and he rose up to read. 17And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written: 18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart, 19To preach deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of reward. 20And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears. 22And all gave testimony to him: and they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph? 23And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself: as great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country. 24And he said: Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country. 25In truth I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elias in Israel, when heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there was a great famine throughout all the earth. 26And to none of them was Elias sent, but to Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman. 27And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet: and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian. 28And all they in the synagogue, hearing these things, were filled with anger. 29And they rose up and thrust him out of the city; and they brought him to the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30But he passing through the midst of them, went his way.
