FIRST READING
A reading from the book of Job(38:1,12-21,40:3-5)
The lord answered job out of the whirlwind;"Have you commanded the morning since your day began,and caused the dawn to know its place,that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,and the wicked be skakem out of it?it is changed like clay under the seal,and it is dyed like a garment.From the wicked their light is withheld,and their uplifted arm is broken.Have you entered into the springs of the sea,or walked in the recesses of the deep?Have the gates of the death been revealed to you,or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?Declare,if you know all this.Where is the way to the dwelling of light,and where is the place of darkness, that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home?Youyknoa for you were born then,and the number of your days is great!then job answered the lord"Behold I am of small account, what shall I answer you?I lay my hand on my mouth.I have spoken once,and I will not answer,twice but I will proceed no further".
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL
A reading from the holy gospel according to Luke (10:13-16)
At that time:Jesus said"woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago,sitting in sackcloth and ashes.But it shall be more tolerable in the judgement for Tyre and Sidon than for you.And you,Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven?you shall be brought down to Hades. He who hears you hears me,and he who rejects you rejects me,and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me".
The gospel of the lord.
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
