FIRST READING Numbers (6, 22-27) The LORD said to Moses: “Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them: ‘The LORD bless you and keep you! The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace!’ So shall they invoke my name upon the Israelites, and I will bless them.” ______________________________________________________
ĐÁP CA: THÁNH VỊNH 137 Muôn ngàn đời Chúa vẫn trọn tình thương, xin đừng bỏ dở dang công trình tay Chúa làm. 1. Con xin hết lòng cảm tạ Chúa vì Ngài đã nghe tiếng con kêu. Đàn ca kính Chúa giữa chư vị Thiên Thần, hướng về Đền Thánh con phủ phục kính thờ. 2. Con xin cảm tạ bởi vì Chúa một lòng thành tín mãi yêu thương. Ngày con kêu khấn Chúa thương tình đáp lời, hỗ trợ hồn con Chúa tăng cường sức mạnh. 3. Cao quang Chúa nhìn kẻ hèn yếu, còn bọn tự kiêu Chúa coi khinh. Tình thương của Chúa đến muôn đời vững bền, xin đừng bỏ rơi những công việc Chúa làm.

SECOND READING 1Tx 5, 16-26.28 Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test everything; retain what is good. Refrain from every kind of evil. Concluding Prayer May the God of peace himself make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will also accomplish it. Brothers, pray for us [too]. Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

GOSPEL Luke
17:11-19 As he continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As he was entering a village, ten lepers met him. They stood at a distance from him and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”
