A Catholic guide for saints, prayer, and practical devotional reading.
Bruno. Ordinary Time. Read the day's readings in one place for prayer, preparation, or quiet reflection.
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.
The on-site reading text is drawn from public-domain Douay-Rheims sources. 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.

Jonah 1:1–2:1-2, 11
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.
1:11And they said to him: What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.
Jonah 2:3, 4, 5, 8
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.
2:3And he said: I cried out of my suffering to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and you have heard my voice.
4And you have cast me forth into the deep in the heart of the sea, and a flood has compassed me: all your billows, and your waves have passed over me.
5And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of your eyes: but yet I shall see your holy temple again.
8When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to you, to your holy temple.
Luke 10:25-37
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.
10:25And look a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying, Master, what must I do to have eternal life?
26But he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest you?
27He answering, said: You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind: and your neighbour as yourself.
28And he said to him: You have answered right: this do, and you shall live.
29But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?
30And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
31And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by.
32In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.
33But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion.
34And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatever you shall spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay you.
36Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers?
37But he said: He that showed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do you in like manner.
The Liturgy of the Word normally moves from the first reading to the psalm, then to the second reading when one is appointed, then to the Gospel, and then into the homily. On weekday Masses, the second reading is often omitted, so the Church moves from the psalm directly to the Gospel.
Jonah 1:1–2:1-2, 11
The first reading is usually taken from the Old Testament. It prepares the heart to hear how God has been acting through his covenant and promises.
Jonah 2:3, 4, 5, 8
The psalm is the Church’s prayerful response to the first reading. It helps the congregation answer God’s word with trust, praise, repentance, or hope.
Usually omitted today
There is no second reading at many weekday Masses. On days like this, the liturgy moves from the psalm directly to the Gospel.
Luke 10:25-37
The Gospel is the high point of the Liturgy of the Word. Catholics stand because Christ himself speaks to his people in a special way through the Gospel proclamation.
After the Gospel
The homily follows the Gospel. It should gather the day’s readings together, explain the mystery being celebrated, and help people carry the word of God into ordinary life.
A Catholic homily usually gathers the first reading, the psalm, and the Gospel into one spiritual movement. It may explain how the Old Testament prepares for Christ, how the apostles witness to the risen Lord, how the psalm teaches the Church to pray, and how the Gospel calls for faith and conversion now.
If you are preparing before Mass, try to carry one sentence, one image, or one invitation from the readings with you. That usually makes the homily easier to follow because you already know what part of God's word has stayed with you.
The Prayers of the Faithful are usually written locally by a parish, diocese, or celebrant, so there is not always one universal text for this exact day. The scriptural readings above are the stable part the whole Church receives, and they usually shape the petitions that follow at Mass.
The day's references and liturgical celebration data come from the Catholic Readings API, while the on-site scripture text is rendered from public-domain Douay-Rheims sources so the day's readings can be read directly on the page.
