Second Reading 2 Thessalonians 1:11—2:2

  • 11Because of this, too, we pray always for you, so that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may complete every act of his goodness, as well as his work of faith in virtue,

  • 12in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • 2:1But we ask you, brothers, concerning the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our gathering to him,

  • 2that you not be readily disturbed or terrified in your minds, by any spirit, or word, or epistle, supposedly sent from us, claiming that the day of the Lord is close by.

Gospel Luke 19:1-10

  • 1And having entered, he walked through Jericho.

  • 2And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy.

  • 3And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.

  • 4And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.

  • 5And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.”

  • 6And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully.

  • 7And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man.

  • 8But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”

  • 9Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham.

  • 10For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.”

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

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.
