Daily Liturgical Readings

Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

1st Reading – Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4

How long, O LORD? I cry for help but you do not listen! I cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not intervene.

Why do you let me see ruin; why must I look at misery? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and clamorous discord.

Then the LORD answered me and said: Write down the vision clearly upon the tablets, so that one can read it readily.

Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

1st Reading – Amos 8:4-7

Hear this, you who trample upon the needy and destroy the poor of the land!

“When will the new moon be over,” you ask, “that we may sell our grain and the sabbath, that we may display the wheat? We will diminish the ephah add to the shekel and fix our scales for cheating!

We will buy the lowly for silver and the poor for a pair of sandals; even the refuse of the wheat we will sell!”

Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

1st Reading – Wisdom 9:13-18B

Who can know God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the LORD intends?

For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and unsure are our plans.

For the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns.

And scarce do we guess the things on earth, and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty; but when things are in heaven, who can search them out?

When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.
