First Reading
First Kings 17:17-24
17 It happened after
this that the son of the mistress of the house fell sick; his illness was so
severe that in the end he expired.
18 And the woman said to
Elijah, 'What quarrel have you with me, man of God? Have you come here to bring
my sins home to me and to kill my son?'
19 'Give me your son,'
he said and, taking him from her lap, he carried him to the upper room where he
was staying and laid him on his bed.
20 He cried out to
Yahweh, 'Yahweh my God, by killing her son do you mean to bring grief even to
the widow who is looking after me?'
21 He stretched himself
on the child three times and cried out to Yahweh, 'Yahweh my God, may the soul
of this child, I beg you, come into him again!'
22 Yahweh heard Elijah's
prayer and the child's soul came back into his body and he revived.
23 Elijah took the
child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his
mother. 'Look,' Elijah said, 'your son is alive.'
24 And the woman replied,
'Now I know you are a man of God and the word of Yahweh in your mouth is truth
itself.'

PSALMS 30:2, 4, 5-6,
11, 12, 13
2 Yahweh, my God, I
cried to you for help and you healed me.
3 Yahweh, you have
lifted me out of Sheol, from among those who sink into oblivion you have given
me life.
4 Make music for
Yahweh, all you who are faithful to him, praise his unforgettable holiness.
5 His anger lasts but a
moment, his favour through life; In the evening come tears, but with dawn cries
of joy.
6 Carefree, I used to
think, 'Nothing can ever shake me!'
11 You have turned my
mourning into dancing, you have stripped off my sackcloth and clothed me with
joy.
12 So my heart will sing
to you unceasingly, Yahweh, my God, I shall praise you for ever.
Second Reading
Galatians 1:11-19
11 Now I want to make it
quite clear to you, brothers, about the gospel that was preached by me, that it
was no human message.
12 It was not from any
human being that I received it, and I was not taught it, but it came to me
through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 You have surely heard
how I lived in the past, within Judaism, and how there was simply no limit to
the way I persecuted the Church of God in my attempts to destroy it;
14 and how, in Judaism,
I outstripped most of my Jewish contemporaries in my limitless enthusiasm for
the traditions of my ancestors.
15 But when God, who had
set me apart from the time when I was in my mother's womb, called me through
his grace and chose
16 to reveal his Son in
me, so that I should preach him to the gentiles, I was in no hurry to confer
with any human being,
17 or to go up to
Jerusalem to see those who were already apostles before me. Instead, I went off
to Arabia, and later I came back to Damascus.
18 Only after three
years did I go up to Jerusalem to meet Cephas. I stayed fifteen days with him
19 but did not set eyes
on any of the rest of the apostles, only James, the Lord's brother.

Gospel Reading
Luke 7:11-17
11 It happened that soon
afterwards he went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a
great number of people.
12 Now when he was near
the gate of the town there was a dead man being carried out, the only son of
his mother, and she was a widow. And a considerable number of the townspeople
was with her.
13 When the Lord saw her
he felt sorry for her and said to her, 'Don't cry.'
14 Then he went up and
touched the bier and the bearers stood still, and he said, 'Young man, I tell
you: get up.'
15 And the dead man sat
up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16 Everyone was filled
with awe and glorified God saying, 'A great prophet has risen up among us; God
has visited his people.'
17 And this view of him
spread throughout Judaea and all over the countryside.
