TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — Year B
First Reading: Wisdom 7:7-11
A reading from the book of Wisdom.
And so I prayed, and understanding was given to me;
I entreated, and the spirit of Wisdom came to me.
I esteemed Her more than scepters and thrones;
compared with Her, I held riches as nothing.
I reckoned no priceless stone to be her peer,
for compared with Her, all gold is a pinch of sand,
and next to Her, silver is nothing but mud.
I loved her more than health or beauty,
preferred Her to the light,
since Her radiance never sleeps.
In Her company all good things came to me;
at Her hands were riches unnumbered.
The Word of God recorded in the book of Wisdom.

Have mercy on Your servants.
