EPISTLE: Jonas 3: 1-10
And the word of the Lord came to Jonas the second
time saying: Arise, and go to Ninive, the great city: and preach in it the
preaching that I bid thee. And Jonas arose, and went to Ninive, according to
the word of the Lord: now Ninive was a great city of three days' journey. And
Jonas began to enter into the city one day's journey: and he cried and said:
Yet forty days and Ninive shall be destroyed. And the men of Ninive believed in
God: and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the
least. And the word came to the king of Ninive: and he rose up out of his
throne, and cast away his robe from him, and was clothed in sackcloth, and sat
in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published in Ninive, from the
mouth of the king and of his princes, saying: Let neither men nor beasts, oxen,
nor sheep taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water. And let men and
beasts be covered with sackcloth, and cry to the Lord with all their strength,
and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the iniquity that is in
their hands. Who can tell if God will turn, and forgive: and will turn away
from his fierce anger, and we shall not perish? And God saw their works, that
they were turned from their evil way: and God had mercy with regard to the evil
which he had said that he would do to them, and he did it not.
Thanks be to God.
GOSPEL: John 7: 32-39
The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to
John. R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these
things concerning Him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend
him. Jesus therefore said to them: "Yet a little while I am with you: and
then I go to Him that sent Me. You shall seek Me and shall not find Me: and
where I am, thither you cannot come." The Jews therefore said among
themselves: Whither will He go, that we shall not find him? Will He go unto the
dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles? What is this saying that
He hath said: You shall seek Me and shall not find Me? And: Where I am, you
cannot come? And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and
cried, saying: "If any man thirst, let him
come to Me and drink. He that believeth in Me, as the scripture saith: Out of
his belly shall flow rivers of living water." Now this He said of the
Spirit which they should receive who believed in Him: for as yet the Spirit was
not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Praise be to Christ
