First Reading

Jonah 3:1-10

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.

3:1And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second time, saying:

2Arise, and go to Ninive the great city: and preach in it the preaching that I bid you.

3And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive, according to the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days' journey.

4And Jonas began to enter into the city one day's journey: and he cried, and said: Yet forty days, and Ninive shall be destroyed.

5And the men of Ninive believed in God: and they announced a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least.

6And the word came to the king of Ninive; and he rose up out of his throne, and cast away his robe from him, and was clothed with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

7And he caused it to be announced and published in Ninive from the mouth of the king and of his leaders, saying: Let neither men nor beasts, oxen nor sheep, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water.

8And let men and beasts be covered with sackcloth, and cry to the Lord with all their strength, and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the sin that is in their hands.

9Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish?

10And God saw their works, that they were turned from their evil way: and God had mercy with regard to the evil which he had said that he would do to them, and he did it not.

Psalm

Psalm 130:1b-2, 3-4ab, 7-8

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.

130:1Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3The evil have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their sin.

4The Lord who is righteous will cut the necks of sinners:

7With what the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

8And those who have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

Gospel

Luke 10:38-42

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.

10:38Now it happened as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha, received him into her house.

39And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting also at the Lord's feet, heard his word.

40But Martha was busy about much serving. Who stood and said: Lord, have you no care that my sister has left me alone to serve? speak to her therefore, that she help me.

41And the Lord answering, said to her: Martha, Martha, you are careful, and art troubled about many things:

42But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.

How the readings move through Mass today

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.

First Reading

Jonah 3:1-10

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.

Psalm

Psalm 130:1b-2, 3-4ab, 7-8

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.

Second Reading

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.

Gospel

Luke 10:38-42

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.

Homily

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.

What the homily usually draws together

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.

What about the Prayers of the Faithful for Tuesday October 7, 2025?

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.
