The Roman Catholic readings for this date are shown below on-site. Use plain reading mode if you want clearer modern wording, or switch back to the original Douay-Rheims wording at any time.

Reading mode

Plain mode helps modern readers follow the text more easily.

On-site scripture text: Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition. Plain mode is a built-in reading aid that modernizes older wording for easier understanding while keeping the same Roman Catholic reading references for the day.

First Reading

Zechariah 2:5-9, 14-15a

How to approach it

Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.

5And I will be to it, says the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.

6OH, OH flee you out of the land of the north, says the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.

7OH Sion, flee, you that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon:

8For thus says the Lord of hosts: After the glory he has sent me to the nations that have robbed you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of my eye:

9For look I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be a prey to those that served them: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me.

Psalm

Jeremiah 31:10, 11-12ab, 13

How to pray it

The psalm is meant to be prayed, not rushed. If the wording feels older, focus on the main movement of the prayer: trust, praise, sorrow, gratitude, or hope.

10Hear the word of the Lord, OH you nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off, and say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd does his flock.

13Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.

Gospel

Luke 9:43b-45

What to watch for

The Gospel is the center of the reading set. Pay close attention to what Jesus says, what Jesus does, and what response he is asking for.
