1st Reading – Isaiah 30:19-21, 23-26
Thus says the Lord GOD,
19 For the people of Zion will live in Jerusalem. Bitterly, you will not weep. Mercifully, he will take pity on you. At the voice of your outcry, as soon as he hears, he will respond to you.
20 And the Lord will give you thick bread and accessible water. And he will not cause your teacher to fly away from you anymore. And your eyes will behold your instructor.
21 And your ears will listen to the word of one admonishing you behind your back: “This is the way! Walk in it! And do not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.”
23 And wherever you sow seed upon the earth, rain will be given to the seed. And bread from the grain of the earth will be very plentiful and full. In that day, the lamb will pasture in the spacious land of your possession.
24 And your bulls, and the colts of the donkeys that work the ground, will eat a mix of grains like that winnowed on the threshing floor.
25 And there will be, on every lofty mountain, and on every elevated hill, rivers of running water, in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower will fall.
26 And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord will bind the wound of his people, and when he will heal the stroke of their scourge.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 147:1-2, 3-4, 5-6
R. (See Isaiah 30:18d) Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
1 Praise the LORD, for he is good;
sing praise to our God, for he is gracious;
2 The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem;
he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
R. Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
3 Who heals the broken of heart,
and binds up their bruises.
4 He tells the number of the stars:
and calls them all by their names.
R. Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
5 Great is our Lord, and great is his power:
and of his wisdom, there is no number.
6 The Lord lifts up the meek
and brings the wicked down even to the ground.
R. Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
Alleluia – Isaiah 33:22
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
22 The LORD is our Judge, our Lawgiver, our King;
he it is who will save us.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – Matthew 9:35-10:1, 5A, 6-8
35 Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness.
36 At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few;
38 so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”
1 Then he summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.
5A Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus,
6 “Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost, you are to give.”
