1st Reading - 2 Kgs 5:14-17

    Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven
times at the word of Elisha, the man of God. His flesh became
again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean of his
leprosy.

    Naaman returned with his whole retinue to the man of
God. On his arrival he stood before Elisha and said, “Now
I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel.
Please, accept a gift from your servant.”

    Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives whom I serve, I will
not take it.” And despite Naaman’s urging, he still refused.
Naaman said: “If you will not accept, please let me, your servant,
have two mule-loads of earth, for I will no longer offer
holocaust or sacrifice to any other god except to the Lord.”

Responsorial Psalm - (Ps 98:1, 2-3, 3-4)

R –The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.

* Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done wondrous

deeds. His right hand has won victory for him, his holy arm. R.

* The Lord has made his salvation known: in the sight of

the nations he has revealed his justice. He has remembered his

kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. R.

* All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our

God. Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands: break into song;

sing praise. R.

2nd Reading - 2 Tm 2:8-13

    Beloved: Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,

a descendant of David: such is my gospel, for which I am

suffering, even to the point of chains, like a criminal.

    But the word of God is not chained. Therefore, I bear

with everything for the sake of those who are chosen, so that

they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus,

together with eternal glory.

    This saying is trustworthy: If we have died with him,

we shall also live with him; if we persevere, we shall also

reign with him. But if we deny him, he will deny us. If we are

unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.

Gospel Acclamation - 1 Thes 5:18

Alleluia, alleluia.

In all circumstances, give thanks, for this is the will

of God for you in Christ Jesus.

Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel - Lk 17:11-19

    As Jesus 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 voices 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.

    One of them, realizing he had been healed, returned,

glorifying God in a loud voice. 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.”

1st Reading - Hab 1:2-3;2:2-4

    How long, O Lord? I cry for help but you do not listen!  I cry out to you, 

“Violence!” but you do not intervene. Why do you let me see ruin; 

why must I look at misery? Destruction and violence are before me; 

there is strife, and clamorous discord.

    Then the Lord answered me and said: Write down the vision clearly upon 

the tablets, so that one can read it readily. For the vision still has its time, 

presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint. If it delays, 

wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late. The rash one
has no integrity; but the just one, because of his faith, shall live.

Responsorial Psalm - (Ps 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9)

R –If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts!

* Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord; let us acclaim the

Rock of our salvation. Let us come into his presence with

thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him. R.

* Come, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before

the Lord who made us. For he is our God, and we are the

people he shepherds, the flock he guides. R.

* Oh, that today you would hear his voice: “Harden not

your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert,

where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though

they had seen my works.” R.

2nd Reading - 2 Tm 1:6-8,13-14

Beloved: I remind you to stir into flame the gift of God

that you have through the imposition of my hands. For God

did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and

love and self-control. 

So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord,

nor of me, a prisoner for his sake; but bear your share of

hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from

God. Take as your norm the sound words that you heard

from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Guard

this rich trust with the help of the Holy Spirit that dwells

within us.

Gospel Acclamation - 1 Pt 1:25

 Alleluia, Alleluia.

The word of the Lord remains for ever.

This is the word that has been proclaimed to you.

Alleluia, Alleluia.

Gospel - Lk 17:5-10

    The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed,

you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted

in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

    Who among you would say to your servant who has

just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field,

‘Come here immediately and take your place at table’?

Would he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for me to

eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink.

You may eat and drink when I am finished’? Is he grateful

to that servant because he did what was commanded?

    So should it be with you. When you have done all you

have been commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants;

we have [just] done what we were expected to do.’ ”
