Read in the CPDV: Isaiah 66
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 66 (65 in the Vulgate)
14But far be it from me to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.
15For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision prevails in any way, but instead there is a new creature.
16And whoever follows this rule: may peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
17Concerning other matters, let no one trouble me. For I carry the stigmata of the Lord Jesus in my body.
18May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

or Luke 10:1-9
1Then, after these things, the Lord also designated another seventy-two. And he sent them in pairs before his face, into every city and place where he was to arrive.
2And he said to them: “Certainly the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into his harvest.
3Go forth. Behold, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4Do not choose to carry a purse, nor provisions, nor shoes; and you shall greet no one along the way.
5Into whatever house you will have entered, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
6And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things that are with them. For the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not choose to pass from house to house.
8And into whatever city you have entered and they have received you, eat what they set before you.
9And cure the sick who are in that place, and proclaim to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.’
10But into whatever city you have entered and they have not received you, going out into its main streets, say:
11‘Even the dust which clings to us from your city, we wipe away against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
12I say to you, that in that day, Sodom will be forgiven more than that city will be.
17Then the seventy-two returned with gladness, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us, in your name.”
18And he said to them: “I was watching as Satan fell like lightning from heaven.
19Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and upon all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
20Yet truly, do not choose to rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

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.
