ALL SOULS DAY
First Reading
WISDOM 11:22, 12:2
22 The whole world, for you, can no more than
tip a balance, like a drop of morning dew falling on the ground.
2 And thus, gradually, you correct those who
offend; you admonish and remind them of how they have sinned, so that they may
abstain from evil and trust in you, Lord.
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 145:1-2, 8-11,
13-14
1 [Hymn of Praise Of David] I shall praise you
to the heights, God my King, I shall bless your name for ever and ever.
2 Day after day I shall bless you, I shall
praise your name for ever and ever.
8 Yahweh is tenderness and pity, slow to anger,
full of faithful love.
9 Yahweh is generous to all, his tenderness
embraces all his creatures.
10 All your creatures shall thank you, Yahweh,
and your faithful shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of the glory of your
kingship and tell of your might,
13 Your kingship is a kingship for ever, your
reign lasts from age to age. Yahweh is trustworthy in all his words, and
upright in all his deeds.
14 Yahweh supports all who stumble, lifts up
those who are bowed down.
Second Reading
2 THESSALONIANS 1:11,
2:2
11 In view of this we also pray continually that
our God will make you worthy of his call, and by his power fulfil all your
desires for goodness, and complete all that you have been doing through faith;
2 please do not be too easily thrown into
confusion or alarmed by any manifestation of the Spirit or any statement or any
letter claiming to come from us, suggesting that the Day of the Lord has
already arrived.

Gospel Reading
LUKE 19:1-10
1 He entered Jericho and was going through the
town
2 and suddenly a man whose name was Zacchaeus
made his appearance; he was one of the senior tax collectors and a wealthy man.
3 He kept trying to see which Jesus was, but he
was too short and could not see him for the crowd;
4 so he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree
to catch a glimpse of Jesus who was to pass that way.
5 When Jesus reached the spot he looked up and
spoke to him, 'Zacchaeus, come down. Hurry, because I am to stay at your house
today.'
6 And he hurried down and welcomed him
joyfully.
7 They all complained when they saw what was
happening. 'He has gone to stay at a sinner's house,' they said.
8 But Zacchaeus stood his ground and said to
the Lord, 'Look, sir, I am going to give half my property to the poor, and if I
have cheated anybody I will pay him back four times the amount.'
9 And Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has
come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham;
10 for the Son of man has come to seek out and
save what was lost.'
