Isaiah 2:1-5
1The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
2It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it,
3and many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 122:1-9
1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!”
2Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem, built as a city which is bound firmly together,
4to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they prosper who love you!
7Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers!”
8For my brethren and companions’ sake I will say, “Peace be within you!”
9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
Gospel
Matthew 8:5-11
5As he entered Caperʹna-um, a centurion came forward to him, beseeching him
6and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress.”
7And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8But the centurion answered him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9For I am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10When Jesus heard him, he marveled, and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.
11I tell you, many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

Sirach 45:1-5
1From his descendants the Lord brought forth a man of mercy, who found favor in the sight of all flesh and was beloved by God and man, Moses, whose memory is blessed.
2He made him equal in glory to the holy ones, and made him great in the fears of his enemies.
3By his words he caused signs to cease; the Lord glorified him in the presence of kings. He gave him commands for his people, and showed him part of his glory.
4He sanctified him through faithfulness and meekness; he chose him out of all mankind.
5He made him hear his voice, and led him into the thick darkness, and gave him the commandments face to face, the law of life and knowledge, to teach Jacob the covenant, and Israel his judgments.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 16:1-2, 5-8, 11
1Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge.
2I say to the LORD, “Thou art my Lord; I have no good apart from thee.”
5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot.
6The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
8I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
11Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Gospel
Luke 10:1-9
1After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
2And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
3Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
4Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road.
5Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’
6And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you.
7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house.
8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you;
9heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
