Wednesday, Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time, Year II
Antiphons on p 1280 and Readings on p 1293 of the Daily Missal
Entrance Antiphon
I am the salvation of the people, says the Lord. Should they cry to me in any distress, I will hear them, and I will be their Lord forever.
First Reading: Proverbs 30: 5-9
A reading from the Book of Proverbs
Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Do not add to his words,
lest he rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
Two things I ask of you;
deny them not to me before I die:
Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is needful for me,
lest I be full, and deny you,
and say, “Who is the Lord?”
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and profane the name of my God.
The Word of the Lord
Responsorial psalm: Psalm 119:29.72.89.101.104.163 (R105a)
Let us now pray the Responsorial Psalm:
R./ Your word is a lamp for my feet, Lord.
Keep me from the way of falsehood;
grant me mercy by your law.
The law from your mouth means more to me
than large quantities of silver and gold.
Forever is your word, O Lord,
standing firm in the heavens.
I keep my feet from every evil path,
to obey your word.
I gain understanding from your precepts,
and so I hate all false ways.
Falsehood I hate and detest,
but I love your law.
R./ Your word is a lamp for my feet, Lord.
Please stand for the Gospel
Alleluia, alleluia.
The kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the Gospel.
Alleluia.
Gospel: Luke 9:1-6
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
At that time:
Jesus called the twelve together
and gave them power and authority over all demons
and to cure diseases,
and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal.
And he said to them,
“Take nothing for your journey,
no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money;
and do not have two tunics.
And whatever house you enter, stay there,
and from there depart.
And wherever they do not receive you,
when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet
as a testimony against them.”
And they departed and went through the villages,
preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
The Gospel of the Lord
Communion Antiphon
You have laid down your precepts to be carefully kept. May my ways be firm in keeping your statutes.
