Saturday of the Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1
Wis 18:14-16; 19:6-9

For while all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, Thy Almighty word leaped down from heaven from thy royal throne, as a fierce conqueror into the midst of the land of destruction, With a sharp sword carrying thy unfeigned commandment, and he stood and filled all things with death, and standing on the earth, reached even to heaven.

For every creature, according to its kind was fashioned again as from the beginning, obeying thy commandments, that thy children might be kept without hurt. For a cloud overshadowed their camps and where water was before, dry land appeared, and in the Red Sea a way without hindrance, and out of the great deep a springing field: Through which all the nation passed which was protected with thy hand, seeing thy miracles and wonders. For they fed on their food like horses, and they skipped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 105:2-3, 36-37, 42-43

R. Remember the marvels the Lord has done!

R. Alleluia.
Sing to him, yea sing praises to him:
relate all his wondrous works.
Glory ye in his holy name:
let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
R. Remember the marvels the Lord has done!
or:
R. Alleluia.
And he slew all the firstborn in their land:
the firstfruits of all their labour.
And he brought them out with silver and gold:
and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.
R. Remember the marvels the Lord has done!
or:
R. Alleluia.
Because he remembered his holy word,
which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
And he brought forth his people with joy,
and his chosen with gladness.
R. Remember the marvels the Lord has done!
or:
R. Alleluia.

Gospel
Lk 18:1-8

And Jesus spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint, Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God nor regarded man. And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man, Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me. And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith. And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard? I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
