Blessed Gregory, raised upon the throne of Peter, sought always the beauty of the Lord, and lived in celebration of that love.
First Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:10b-16
A reading from the First Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Brothers and sisters:
The Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
For what person knows another’s thoughts
except the spirit of the person which is within?
So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God
except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received not the spirit of the world,
but the Spirit which is from God,
that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.
And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom
but taught by the Spirit,
interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.
The unspiritual person does not receive
the gifts of the Spirit of God,
for they are folly to them,
and they are not able to understand them
because they are spiritually discerned.
The spiritual person judges all things,
but is themselves to be judged by no one.
“For who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?”
But we have the mind of Christ.
The Word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 145:8-9, 10-11, 12-13ab, 13cd-14 (R. 17a)
Let us now pray the Responsorial Psalm
R/. The Lord is just in all his ways.
The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in mercy.
How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures.
All your works shall thank you, O Lord,
and all your faithful ones bless you.
They shall speak of the glory of your reign,
and declare your mighty deeds,
They shall make known your might to the children of men,
and the glorious splendour of your reign.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom;
your rule endures for all generations.
The Lord is faithful in all his words,
and holy in all his deeds.
The Lord supports all who fall,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
R/. The Lord is just in all his ways.
Please stand for the Gospel.
Alleluia, Alleluia.
A great prophet has arisen among us, and God has visited his people.
Alleluia.
Gospel: Luke 4:31-37
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
At that time:
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee.
And he was teaching them on the sabbath;
and they were astounded at his teaching
for his word was with authority.
And in the synagogue,
there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon;
and he cried out with a loud voice,
“Ah! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are,
the Holy One of God.”
But Jesus rebuked him, saying,
“Be silent, and come out of him!”
And when the demon had thrown him down in their midst,
he came out of him, having done him no harm.
And they were all amazed and said to one another,
“What is this word?
For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits,
and they come out!”
And reports of him went out
into every place in the surrounding region.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Communion Antiphon.
This is the servant, faithful and wise, whom the Lord set over his household
