Sunday of Ordinary Time – Year C
5:30 pm Novena to Our Lady
6:00 pm Sunset Mass in English
First Reading
EXODUS 17:8-13
8 The Amalekites then came and attacked Israel
at Rephidim.
9 Moses said to Joshua, 'Pick some men and
tomorrow morning go out and engage Amalek. I, for my part, shall take my stand
on the hilltop with the staff of God in my hand.'
10 Joshua did as Moses had told him and went out
to engage Amalek, while Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 As long as Moses kept his arms raised, Israel
had the advantage; when he let his arms fall, the advantage went to Amalek.
12 But Moses' arms grew heavy, so they took a
stone and put it under him and on this he sat, with Aaron and Hur supporting
his arms on each side. Thus his arms remained unwavering till sunset,
13 and Joshua defeated Amalek, putting their
people to the sword.

PSALMS 121:1-8
1 [Song of Ascents] I lift up my eyes to the
mountains; where is my help to come from?
2 My help comes from Yahweh who made heaven and
earth.
3 May he save your foot from stumbling; may he,
your guardian, not fall asleep!
4 You see -- he neither sleeps nor slumbers,
the guardian of Israel.
5 Yahweh is your guardian, your shade, Yahweh,
at your right hand.
6 By day the sun will not strike you, nor the
moon by night.
7 Yahweh guards you from all harm Yahweh guards
your life,
8 Yahweh guards your comings and goings,
henceforth and for ever.
Second Reading
2 TIMOTHY 3:14, 4:2
14 You must keep to what you have been taught
and know to be true; remember who your teachers were,
2 proclaim the message and, welcome or
unwelcome, insist on it. Refute falsehood, correct error, give encouragement --
but do all with patience and with care to instruct.

Gospel Reading
LUKE 18:1-8
1 Then he told them a parable about the need to
pray continually and never lose heart.
2 'There was a judge in a certain town,' he
said, 'who had neither fear of God nor respect for anyone.
3 In the same town there was also a widow who
kept on coming to him and saying, "I want justice from you against my
enemy!"
4 For a long time he refused, but at last he
said to himself, "Even though I have neither fear of God nor respect for
any human person,
5 I must give this widow her just rights since
she keeps pestering me, or she will come and slap me in the face." '
6 And the Lord said, 'You notice what the
unjust judge has to say?
7 Now, will not God see justice done to his
elect if they keep calling to him day and night even though he still delays to
help them?
8 I promise you, he will see justice done to
them, and done speedily. But when the Son of man comes, will he find any faith
on earth?'
