1st Reading – Isaiah 66:10-14c

Thus says the LORD:
¹⁰ Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love her; exult, exult with her, all you who were mourning over her! Oh, that you may suck fully of the milk of her comfort,

¹¹ that you may nurse with delight at her abundant breasts!

¹² For thus says the LORD: Lo, I will spread prosperity over Jerusalem like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent. As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap;

¹³ as a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; in Jerusalem, you shall find your comfort.

^14C When you see this, your heart shall rejoice and your bodies flourish like the grass; the LORD’s power shall be known to his servants.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

¹⁵A Let the peace of Christ control your hearts;
^16A let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel – Luke 10:1-12, 17-20

¹ At that time the Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.

² He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.

³ Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.

⁴ Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way.

⁵ Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’

⁶ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

⁷ Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another.

⁸ Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you,

⁹ cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand for you.’

¹⁰ Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say,

¹¹ ‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.’ Yet know this: the kingdom of God is at hand.

¹² I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.”

¹⁷ The seventy-two returned rejoicing, and said, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name.”

¹⁸ Jesus said, “I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky.

¹⁹ Behold, I have given you the power to ‘tread upon serpents’ and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you.

²⁰ Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you,
but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

OR Gospel – Luke 10:1-9
