Weekday
First Reading
Colossians 1:9-14
9And so, from the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
11May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy,
12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
13He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,
14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 98:2-6
2The LORD has made known his victory, he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.
3He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
4Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
5Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody!
6With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD!
Gospel
Luke 5:1-11
1While the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesʹaret.
2And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
3Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”
6And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking,
7they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”
9For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken;
10and so also were James and John, sons of Zebʹedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men.”
11And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
