Read in the CPDV: Psalm 147:1–11 (146 in the Vulgate)
16For if I preach the Gospel, it is not glory for me. For an obligation has been laid upon me. And woe to me, if I do not preach the Gospel.
17For if I do this willingly, I have a reward. But if I do this reluctantly, a dispensation is granted to me.
18And what, then, would be my reward? So, when preaching the Gospel, I should give the Gospel without taking, so that I may not misuse my authority in the Gospel.
19For when I was a free man to all, I made myself the servant of all, so that I might gain all the more.
22To the weak, I became weak, so that I might gain the weak. To all, I became all, so that I might save all.
23And I do everything for the sake of the Gospel, so that I may become its partner.

Read in the CPDV: Matthew 8
29And soon after departing from the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30But the mother-in-law of Simon lay ill with a fever. And at once they told him about her.
31And drawing near to her, he raised her up, taking her by the hand. And immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
32Then, when evening arrived, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who had maladies and those who had demons.
33And the entire city was gathered together at the door.
34And he healed many who were troubled with various illnesses. And he cast out many demons, but he would not permit them to speak, because they knew him.
35And rising up very early, departing, he went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.
36And Simon, and those who were with him, followed after him.
37And when they had found him, they said to him, “For everyone is seeking you.”
38And he said to them: “Let us go into the neighboring towns and cities, so that I may preach there also. Indeed, it was for this reason that I came.”
39And he was preaching in their synagogues and throughout all of Galilee, and casting out demons.

Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.
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.
