First Reading
GENESIS 18:1-10
1 Yahweh appeared to
him at the Oak of Mamre while he was sitting by the entrance of the tent during
the hottest part of the day.
2 He looked up, and
there he saw three men standing near him. As soon as he saw them he ran from
the entrance of the tent to greet them, and bowed to the ground.
3 'My lord,' he said,
'if I find favour with you, please do not pass your servant by.
4 Let me have a little
water brought, and you can wash your feet and have a rest under the tree.
5 Let me fetch a little
bread and you can refresh yourselves before going further, now that you have
come in your servant's direction.' They replied, 'Do as you say.'
6 Abraham hurried to
the tent and said to Sarah, 'Quick, knead three measures of best flour and make
loaves.'
7 Then, running to the
herd, Abraham took a fine and tender calf and gave it to the servant, who
hurried to prepare it.
8 Then taking curds,
milk and the calf which had been prepared, he laid all before them, and they
ate while he remained standing near them under the tree.
9 'Where is your wife
Sarah?' they asked him. 'She is in the tent,' he replied.
10 Then his guest said,
'I shall come back to you next year, and then your wife Sarah will have a son.'
Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent behind him.

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 14:2-5
2 Yahweh looks down
from heaven at the children of Adam. To see if a single one is wise, a single
one seeks God.
3 All have turned away,
all alike turned sour, not one of them does right, not a single one.
4 Are they not aware,
all these evil-doers? They are devouring my people, this is the bread they eat,
and they never call to Yahweh.
5 They will be gripped
with fear, where there is no need for fear, for God takes the side of the
upright;
Second Reading
COLOSSIANS 1:24-28
24 It makes me happy to
be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the hardships that
still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church,
25 of which I was made a
servant with the responsibility towards you that God gave to me, that of
completing God's message,
26 the message which was
a mystery hidden for generations and centuries and has now been revealed to his
holy people.
27 It was God's purpose
to reveal to them how rich is the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; it
is Christ among you, your hope of glory:
28 this is the Christ we
are proclaiming, admonishing and instructing everyone in all wisdom, to make
everyone perfect in Christ.

Gospel Reading
LUKE 10:38-42
38 In the course of
their journey he came to a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into
her house.
39 She had a sister
called Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and listened to him speaking.
40 Now Martha, who was
distracted with all the serving, came to him and said, 'Lord, do you not care
that my sister is leaving me to do the serving all by myself? Please tell her
to help me.'
41 But the Lord
answered, 'Martha, Martha,' he said, 'you worry and fret about so many things,
42 and yet few are
needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part, and it is
not to be taken from her.'
