## Mass readings (US)

### First Reading: Revelation 1:1-4; 2:1-5

- 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John;
- 2 he has offered testimony to the Word of God, and whatever he saw is the testimony of Jesus Christ.
- 3 Blessed is he who reads or hears the words of this Prophecy, and who keeps the things that have been written in it. For the time is near.
- 4 John, to the seven Churches, which are in Asia. Grace and peace to you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are in the sight of his throne,
- 2:1 “And to the Angel of the Church of Ephesus write: Thus says the One who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
- 2 I know your works, and your hardship and patient endurance, and that you cannot stand those who are evil. And so, you have tested those who declare themselves to be Apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.
- 3 And you have patient endurance for the sake of my name, and you have not fallen away.
- 4 But I have this against you: that you have relinquished your first charity.
- 5 And so, call to mind the place from which you have fallen, and do penance, and do the first works. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

### Gospel: Luke 18:35-43

- 35 Now it happened that, as he was approaching Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way, begging.
- 36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this was.
- 37 And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
- 38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
- 39 And those who were passing by rebuked him, so that he would be silent. Yet truly, he cried out all the more, “Son of David, take pity on me!”
- 40 Then Jesus, standing still, ordered him to be brought to him. And when he had drawn near, he questioned him,
- 41 saying, “What do you want, that I might do for you?” So he said, “Lord, that I may see.”
- 42 And Jesus said to him: “Look around. Your faith has saved you.”
- 43 And immediately he saw. And he followed him, magnifying God. And all the people, when they saw this, gave praise to God.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
