First Reading
Isaiah 66:10-14
10 Rejoice with
Jerusalem, be glad for her, all you who love her! Rejoice, rejoice with her,
all you who mourned her!
11 So that you may be
suckled and satisfied from her consoling breast, so that you may drink deep
with delight from her generous nipple.
12 For Yahweh says this:
Look, I am going to send peace flowing over her like a river, and like a stream
in spate the glory of the nations. You will be suckled, carried on her hip and
fondled in her lap.
13 As a mother comforts
a child, so I shall comfort you; you will be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 At the sight your
heart will rejoice, and your limbs regain vigour like the grass. To his
servants Yahweh will reveal his hand, but to his enemies his fury.

PSALMS 66:1-3, 4-5,
6-7, 16, 20
1 [For the choirmaster
Song Psalm] Acclaim God, all the earth,
2 sing psalms to the
glory of his name, glorify him with your praises,
3 say to God, 'How
awesome you are! 'Your achievements are the measure of your power, your enemies
woo your favour,
4 all the earth bows
down before you, sings psalms to you, sings psalms to your name.
5 Come and see the
marvels of God, his awesome deeds for the children of Adam:
6 he changed the sea
into dry land, they crossed the river on foot. So let us rejoice in him,
7 who rules for ever by
his power; his eyes keep watch on the nations to forestall rebellion against
him.
16 Come and listen, all
who fear God, while I tell what he has done for me.
20 Blessed be God who
has not turned away my prayer, nor his own faithful love from me.
Second Reading
Galatians 6:14-18
14 But as for me, it is
out of the question that I should boast at all, except of the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the
world.
15 It is not being
circumcised or uncircumcised that matters; but what matters is a new creation.
16 Peace and mercy to
all who follow this as their rule and to the Israel of God.
17 After this, let no
one trouble me; I carry branded on my body the marks of Jesus.
18 The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with your spirit, my brothers. Amen.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
Luke 10:1-12, 17-20
1 After this the Lord
appointed seventy-two others and sent them out ahead of him in pairs, to all
the towns and places he himself would be visiting.
2 And he said to them,
'The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest
to send labourers to do his harvesting.
3 Start off now, but
look, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Take no purse with
you, no haversack, no sandals. Salute no one on the road.
5 Whatever house you
enter, let your first words be, "Peace to this house!"
6 And if a man of peace
lives there, your peace will go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to
you.
7 Stay in the same
house, taking what food and drink they have to offer, for the labourer deserves
his wages; do not move from house to house.
8 Whenever you go into
a town where they make you welcome, eat what is put before you.
9 Cure those in it who
are sick, and say, "The kingdom of God is very near to you."
10 But whenever you
enter a town and they do not make you welcome, go out into its streets and say,
11 "We wipe off the
very dust of your town that clings to our feet, and leave it with you. Yet be
sure of this: the kingdom of God is very near."
12 I tell you, on the
great Day it will be more bearable for Sodom than for that town.
17 The seventy-two came
back rejoicing. 'Lord,' they said, 'even the devils submit to us when we use
your name.'
18 He said to them, 'I
watched Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
19 Look, I have given
you power to tread down serpents and scorpions and the whole strength of the
enemy; nothing shall ever hurt you.
20 Yet do not rejoice
that the spirits submit to you; rejoice instead that your names are written in
heaven.'
