Isaiah 7:1-9

1In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziʹah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliʹah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but they could not conquer it.
2When the house of David was told, “Syria is in league with Eʹphraim,” his heart and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.
3And the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go forth to meet Ahaz, you and Sheʹar-jashʹub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Fuller’s Field,
4and say to him, ‘Take heed, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliʹah.
5Because Syria, with Eʹphraim and the son of Remaliʹah, has devised evil against you, saying,
6“Let us go up against Judah and terrify it, and let us conquer it for ourselves, and set up the son of Taʹbe-el as king in the midst of it,”
7thus says the Lord GOD: It shall not stand, and it shall not come to pass.
8For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. (Within sixty-five years Eʹphraim will be broken to pieces so that it will no longer be a people.)
9And the head of Eʹphraim is Samarʹia, and the head of Samarʹia is the son of Remaliʹah. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.’ ”

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 48:2-8

1Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain,
2beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3Within her citadels God has shown himself a sure defense.
4For lo, the kings assembled, they came on together.
5As soon as they saw it, they were astounded, they were in panic, they took to flight;
6trembling took hold of them there, anguish as of a woman in travail.
7By the east wind thou didst shatter the ships of Tarshish.

Gospel

Matthew 11:20-24

20Then he began to upbraid the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21“Woe to you, Choraʹzin! woe to you, Beth-saʹida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22But I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
23And you, Caperʹna-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24But I tell you that it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.”

Zechariah 2:14-17

10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for lo, I come and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the LORD.
11And many nations shall join themselves to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
12And the LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.”
13Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.

Responsorial Psalm

Luke 1:46-55

46And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed;
49for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
50And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation.
51He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts,
52he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree;
53he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.
54He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy,
55as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.”

Gospel

Matthew 12:46-50

46While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood outside, asking to speak to him.
48But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?”
49And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brethren!
50For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
