TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — Year A
First Reading: Jeremiah 20:7-9
A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.
You duped me, O God, and I let myself be duped;
you were too strong for me, and you triumphed.
All the day, I am an object of laughter; everyone mocks me.
Whenever I speak, I must cry out,
violence and outrage is my message;
the word of the Most High has brought me
derision and reproach all the day.
I say to myself, “I will not mention Our God,
nor will I speak in Our God’s name any more.”
But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart,
imprisoned in my bones;
I grow weary holding it in,
I cannot endure it.
The Word of God recorded in the book of the prophet Jeremiah.
TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — Year A
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 63
R: My soul thirsts for You, O God.
O God, You are my God whom I seek;
for You my flesh pines and my soul thirsts.
Like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water.
R: My soul thirsts for You, O God.
Thus have I gazed toward You in the sanctuary
to see Your power and Your glory.
For Your kindness is a greater good than life;
my lips will glorify You.
R: My soul thirsts for You, O God.
Thus will I bless You while I live;
lifting up my hands, I will call upon Your Name.
As with the riches of a banquet will my soul be satisfied,
And with exultant lips my mouth will praise You.
R: My soul thirsts for You, O God.
That You are my help,
and in the shadow of Your wings I will shout for joy.
My soul clings fast to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
R: My soul thirsts for You, O God.
