Ordinary Time – Year C
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady

First Reading
Isaiah 6:1-2, 3-8
1 In the year of King
Uzziah's death I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne; his train
filled the sanctuary.
2 Above him stood
seraphs, each one with six wings: two to cover its face, two to cover its feet
and two for flying;
3 and they were shouting
these words to each other: Holy, holy, holy is Yahweh Sabaoth. His glory fills
the whole earth.
4 The door-posts shook
at the sound of their shouting, and the Temple was full of smoke.
5 Then I said: 'Woe is
me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of
unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh Sabaoth.'
6 Then one of the
seraphs flew to me, holding in its hand a live coal which it had taken from the
altar with a pair of tongs.
7 With this it touched
my mouth and said: 'Look, this has touched your lips, your guilt has been
removed and your sin forgiven.'
8 I then heard the
voice of the Lord saying: 'Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?' And I said,
'Here am I, send me.'

PSALMS 138:1-2, 2-3, 4-5,
7-8
1 [Of David] I thank
you, Yahweh, with all my heart, for you have listened to the cry I uttered. In
the presence of angels I sing to you,
2 I bow down before
your holy Temple. I praise your name for your faithful love and your constancy;
your promises surpass even your fame.
3 You heard me on the
day when I called, and you gave new strength to my heart.
4 All the kings of the
earth give thanks to you, Yahweh, when they hear the promises you make;
5 they sing of Yahweh's
ways, 'Great is the glory of Yahweh!'
7 Though I live
surrounded by trouble you give me life -- to my enemies' fury! You stretch out
your right hand and save me,
8 Yahweh will do all
things for me. Yahweh, your faithful love endures for ever, do not abandon what
you have made.
Second Reading
First Corinthians
15:1-11
1
I want to make quite clear to you, brothers, what the message of the gospel
that I preached to you is; you accepted it and took your stand on it,
2 and you are saved by
it, if you keep to the message I preached to you; otherwise your coming to
believe was in vain.
3 The tradition I
handed on to you in the first place, a tradition which I had myself received,
was that Christ died for our sins, in accordance with the scriptures,
4 and that he was
buried; and that on the third day, he was raised to life, in accordance with
the scriptures;
5 and that he appeared
to Cephas; and later to the Twelve;
6 and next he appeared
to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are
still with us, though some have fallen asleep;
7 then he appeared to
James, and then to all the apostles.
8 Last of all he
appeared to me too, as though I was a child born abnormally.
9 For I am the least of
the apostles and am not really fit to be called an apostle, because I had been
persecuting the Church of God;
10 but what I am now, I
am through the grace of God, and the grace which was given to me has not been
wasted. Indeed, I have worked harder than all the others -- not I, but the
grace of God which is with me.
11 Anyway, whether it
was they or I, this is what we preach and what you believed.

Gospel Reading
Luke 5:1-11
1 Now it happened that
he was standing one day by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the crowd pressing
round him listening to the word of God,
2 when he caught sight
of two boats at the water's edge. The fishermen had got out of them and were
washing their nets.
3 He got into one of
the boats -- it was Simon's -- and asked him to put out a little from the
shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
4 When he had finished
speaking he said to Simon, 'Put out into deep water and pay out your nets for a
catch.'
5 Simon replied,
'Master, we worked hard all night long and caught nothing, but if you say so, I
will pay out the nets.'
6 And when they had
done this they netted such a huge number of fish that their nets began to tear,
7 so they signalled to
their companions in the other boat to come and help them; when these came, they
filled both boats to sinking point.
8 When Simon Peter saw
this he fell at the knees of Jesus saying, 'Leave me, Lord; I am a sinful man.'
9 For he and all his
companions were completely awestruck at the catch they had made;
10 so also were James
and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's partners. But Jesus said to Simon,
'Do not be afraid; from now on it is people you will be catching.'
11 Then, bringing their
boats back to land they left everything and followed him.
