Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, virgin and doctor of the Church

Reading 1
Jb 9:1-12, 14-16

And Job answered, and said:
Indeed I know it is so,
and that man cannot be justified, compared with God.
If he will contend with him,
he cannot answer him one for a thousand.
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:
who hath resisted him, and hath had peace?

Who hath removed mountains,
and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not.
Who shaketh the earth out of her place,
and the pillars thereof tremble.
Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not:
and shutteth up the stars, as it were, under a seal:

Who alone spreadeth out the heavens,
and walketh upon the waves of the sea.
Who maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades,
and the inner parts of the south.
Who doth things great and incomprehensible, and wonderful,
of which there is no number.

If he come to me, I shall not see him:
if he depart, I shall not understand.
If he examine on a sudden, who shall answer him?
or who can say: Why dost thou so?

What am I then, that I should answer him,
and have words with him?
I, who although I should have any just thing, would not answer,
but would make supplication to my judge.
And if he should hear me when I call,
I should not believe that he had heard my voice.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 88:10bc-11, 12-13, 14-15

R. Let my prayer come in before thee
All the day I cried to thee, O Lord:
I stretched out my hands to thee.
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?
or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
R. Let my prayer come in before thee
Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy:
and thy truth in destruction?
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark;
and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
R. Let my prayer come in before thee
But I, O Lord, have cried to thee:
and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
Lord, why castest thou off my prayer:
why turnest thou away thy face from me?
R. Let my prayer come in before thee

Gospel
Lk 9:57-62

And it came to pass, as they walked in the way,
that a certain man said to him:
I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests:
but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
But he said to another: Follow me.
And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and to bury my father.
And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead:
but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
And another said: I will follow thee, Lord;
but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.
Jesus said to him:
No man putting his hand to the plough and looking back
is fit for the kingdom of God.

The readings on this site are not official for the Mass of Roman Rite of the Catholic Church in the USA, but are from The Challoner Douay Rheims version of the Sacred Bible, a source free from copyright and entirely in the public domain.

The Challoner Douay Rheims version was prepared by Bishop Richard Challoner, about A.D. 1749-1752, by revising the original Douay Rheims version and by comparing it to the Latin Vulgate version of the Bible.
