MASS READINGS
2nd. August 2020
Eighteenth Sunday of the Year
First Reading:
A reading from the Prophet Isaiah
Thus says the Lord; Oh, come to the water all you who are thirsty; though you have no money, come!
Buy corn without money, and eat, and, at no cost, wine and milk.
Why spend money on what is not bread, your wages on what fails to satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and you will have good things to eat and rich food to enjoy.
Pay attention, come to me; listen, and your soul will live.
With you I will make an everlasting covenant out of the favours promised to David. The Word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Response: You open wide your hand, O Lord; you grant our desires.
My part, I have resolved, O Lord, is to obey your word.
The law from your mouth means more to me than silver and gold. R.
Let your love be ready to console me, by your promise to your servant.
Let your love come and I shall live, for your law is my delight. R.
That is why I love your commands more than finest gold,
why I rule my life by your precepts, and hate false ways. R.
Your will is wonderful indeed; therefore I obey it.
The unfolding of your word gives light and teaches the simple. R.
Second Reading
A Reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans. 8:35,37-39
Nothing can come between us and the love of Christ, even if we are troubled or worried, or being persecuted, or lacking food or clothes, or being threatened or even attacked. These are the trials through which we triumph, by the power of him who loved us.
For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, no angel, no prince, nothing that exists, nothing still to come, not any power, or height or depth, nor any created thing, can ever come between us and the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus our Lord. The Word of the Lord.
Gospel Acclamation:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Blessings on the King who comes, in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heavens!
Alleluia!
.
