Wisdom 18:14-16; 19:6-9
18
14For while gentle silence enveloped all things, and night in its swift course was now half gone,
15thy all-powerful word leaped from heaven, from the royal throne, into the midst of the land that was doomed, a stern warrior
16carrying the sharp sword of thy authentic command, and stood and filled all things with death, and touched heaven while standing on the earth.
19
6For the whole creation in its nature was fashioned anew, complying with thy commands, that thy children might be kept unharmed.
7The cloud was seen overshadowing the camp, and dry land emerging where water had stood before, an unhindered way out of the Red Sea, and a grassy plain out of the raging waves,
8where those protected by thy hand passed through as one nation, after gazing on marvelous wonders.
9For they ranged like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who didst deliver them.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 105:2-3, 36-37, 42-43
2Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful works!
3Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
36He smote all the first-born in their land, the first issue of all their strength.
37Then he led forth Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
42For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43So he led forth his people with joy, his chosen ones with singing.
Gospel
Luke 18:1-8
1And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.
2He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man;
3and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Vindicate me against my adversary.’
4For a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor regard man,
5yet because this widow bothers me, I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.’ ”
6And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
7And will not God vindicate his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
8I tell you, he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Romans 8:31-39
31What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us?
32He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?
33Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies;
34who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36As it is written, “For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 31:3-4, 6-8, 17, 21
2Incline thy ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be thou a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
3Yea, thou art my rock and my fortress; for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me,
5Into thy hand I commit my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
6Thou hatest those who pay regard to vain idols; but I trust in the LORD.
7I will rejoice and be glad for thy steadfast love, because thou hast seen my affliction, thou hast taken heed of my adversities,
16Let thy face shine on thy servant; save me in thy steadfast love!
20In the covert of thy presence thou hidest them from the plots of men; thou holdest them safe under thy shelter from the strife of tongues.
Gospel
Matthew 10:28-33
28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will.
30But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven;
33but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
