Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

• First Reading

  Isaiah 66:10-14
  ¹⁰ "Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her;
  ¹¹ that you may suck and be satisfied with her consoling breasts; that you may drink deeply with delight from the abundance of her glory."
  ¹² For thus says the LORD: "Behold, I will extend prosperity to her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you shall suck, you shall be carried upon her hip, and dandled upon her knees.
  ¹³ As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
  ¹⁴ You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass; and it shall be known that the hand of the LORD is with his servants, and his indignation is against his enemies.

• Responsorial Psalm

  Psalms 66:1-7, 16, 20
  ⁰ To the choirmaster. A Song. A Psalm.
  ¹ Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
  ² sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise!
  ³ Say to God, "How terrible are thy deeds! So great is thy power that thy enemies cringe before thee.
  ⁴ All the earth worships thee; they sing praises to thee, sing praises to thy name." [Selah]
  ⁵ Come and see what God has done: he is terrible in his deeds among men.
  ⁶ He turned the sea into dry land; men passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him,
  ¹⁵ I will offer to thee burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats. [Selah]
  ¹⁹ But truly God has listened; he has given heed to the voice of my prayer. 

• Second Reading

  Galatians 6:14-18
  ¹⁴ But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
  ¹⁵ For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.
  ¹⁶ Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God.
  ¹⁷ Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
  ¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

• Gospel

  Luke 10:1-12, 17-20
  ¹ After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
  ² And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
  ³ Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
  ⁴ Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road.
  ⁵ Whatever house you enter, first say, `Peace be to this house!'
  <sup>6</sup> And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.
  <sup>7</sup> And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.
  <sup>8</sup> Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you;
  <sup>9</sup> heal the sick in it and say to them, `The kingdom of God has come near to you.'
  ¹⁰ But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say,
  ¹¹ `Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'
  ¹² I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
  ¹⁷ The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!"
  ¹⁸ And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
  ¹⁹ Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you.
  ²⁰ Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
