LITURGY OF THE WORD

A READING FROM THE FIRST BOOK OF SAMUEL

IN THOSE DAYS, SAUL WENT OFF DOWN TO THE DESERT OF ZIPH WITH THREE THOUSAND PICKED MEN OF ISRAEL, TO SEARCH FOR DAVID IN THE DESERT OF ZIPH. SO DAVID AND ABISHAI WENT AMONG

SAUL’S SOLDIERS BY NIGHT AND FOUND

FIRST READING

FOUND SAUL LYING SLEEP WITHIN THE BARRICADE, WITH HIS SPEAR THRUST INTO THE GROUND AT HIS HEAD AND ABNER AND HIS MEN SLEEPING AROUND HIM.

ABISHAI WHISPERED TO DAVID: “GOD HAS DELIVERED YOUR ENEMY INTO YOUR GRASP THIS DAY. LET ME NAIL HIM TO THE GROUND WITH ONE THRUST OF THE SPEAR;

FIRST READING

I WILL NOT NEED A SECOND TRUST! BUT DAVID SAID TO ABISHAI, “DO NOT

HARM HIM, FOR WHO CAN LAY HANDS ON THE LORD’S ANOINTED AND REMAIN UNPUNISHED?”

SO DAVID TOOK THE SPEAR AND THE WATER JUG FROM THEIR PLACE AT SAUL”S HEAD, AND THEY GOT AWAY WITHOUT ANYONE’S SEEING OR KNOWING OR AWAKENING.

FIRST READING

ALL REMAINED ASLEEP, BECAUSE THE LORD HAD PUT THEM INTO A DEEP SLUMBER.

GOING ACROSS TO AN OPPOSITE SLOPE,DAVID STOOD ON A REMOTE HILLTOP AT A GREAT DISTANCE FROM ABNER, SON OF NER, AND THE TROOPS. HE SAID: “HERE IS THE KING’S SPEAR.

FIRST READING

LET AN ATTENDANT COME OVER TO GET IT. THE LORD WILL REWARD EACH MAN FOR HIS JUSTICE AND FAITHFULNESS. TODAY, THOUGH THE LORD DELIVERED YOU INTO MY GRASP, I WOULD NOT HARM THE LORD’S ANOINTED.”

THE WORD OF THE LORD THANKS BE TO GOD

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

THE LORD IS KIND AND MERCIFUL

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL: AND ALL MY BEING, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME. BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS.

THE LORD IS KIND AND MERCIFUL

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

HE PARDONS ALL YOUR INIQUITIES, HE HEALS ALL YOUR ILLS. HE REDEEMS YOUR LIFE FROM DESTRUCTION, HE CROWNS YOU WITH KINDNESS AND COMPASSION.

THE LORD IS KIND AND MERCIFUL

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS IS THE LORD, SLOW TO ANGER AND ABOUNDING IN KINDNESS. NOT ACCORDING TO OUR SINS DOES HE DEAL WITH US, NOR DOES HE REQUITE US ACCORDING TO OUR CRIMES.

THE LORD IS KIND AND MERCIFUL

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST, SO FAR HAS PUT OUR TRANSGRESSIONS FROM US. AS A FATHER HAS COMPASSION ON HIS CHILDREN, SO THE LORD HAS COMPASSION ON WHOSE WHO FEAR HIM.

THE LORD IS KIND AND MERCIFUL

SECOND READING A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO

THE CORINTHIANS: BROTHERS AND SISTERS: IT IS WRITTEN, THE FIRST MAN, ADAM,

BECAME A LIVING BEING, THE LAST ADAM A LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT. BUT THE SPIRITUAL WAS NOT THE FIRST, RATHER THE NATURAL AND THEN THE SPIRITUAL.

SECOND READING THE FIRST MAN WAS FROM THE EARTH,

EARTHLY; THE SECOND MAN, FROM HEAVEN. AS WAS THE EARTHLY ONE, SO ALSO ARE THE EARTHLY; AND AS IS THE HEAVENLY ONE, SO ALSO ARE THE HEAVENLY.

JUST AS WE HAVE BORNE THE IMAGE OF THE EARTHLY ONE, WE SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY ONE.THE WORD OF THE LORD. THANKS BE TO GOD

ACCORDING TO LUKE:JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES:

TO YOU WHO HEAR ME, I SAY: LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU; BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU, PRAY FOR THOSE WHO MISTREAT YOU. TO THE PERSON WHO STRIKES YOU ON ONE CHEEK,OFFER

GOSPEL

THE OTHER ONE AS WELL, AND FROM THE PERSON WHO TAKES YOUR CLOAK, DO NOT WITHHOLD EVEN YOUR TUNIC. GIVE TO EVERYONE WHO ASKS OF YOU, AND FROM ONE WHO TAKES WHAT IS YOURS DO NOT DEMAND IT BACK. DO TO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO TO YOU.

GOSPEL

FOR IF YOU LOVE THOSE WHO LOVE YOU, WHAT CREDIT IS THAT TO YOU? EVEN SINNERS LOVE HOSE WHO LOVE THEM. AND IF YOU DO GOOD TO YOU, WHAT CREDIT IS THAT TO YOU?

EVEN SINNERS DO THE SAME. IF YOU LEND MONEY TO THOSE FROM WHO YOU EXPECT REPAYMENT, WHAT CREDIT IS THAT TO YOU? EVEN SINNERS LEND TO

GOSPEL

AND GET BACK THE SAME AMOUNT BUT RATHER, LOVE YOUR ENEMIESAND DO GOOD TO THEM, AND LEND EXPECTING NOTHING BACK; THEN YOUR REWARD WILL BE GREAT AND YOU WILL BE CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH, FOR HE HIMSELF IS KIND TO THE UNGRATEFUL AND THE WICKED.

GOSPEL

BE MERCIFUL, JUST AS YOUR FATHER IS MERCIFUL.

STOP JUDGING AND YOU WILL NOT BE JUDGED. STOP CONDEMNING AND YOU WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED. FORGIVE AND YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN. GIVE AND GIFTS WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU; AND GOOD MEASURE,PACKED TOGETHER,

GOSPEL

SHAKEN DOWN AND OVERFLOWING, WILL BE POURED INTO YOUR LAP. FOR THE MEASURE WITH WHICH YOU MEASURE WILL IN RETURN BE MEASURED OUT TO YOU.”
