Blessed Solanus Casey, Priest (Memorial)

First Reading

Jeremiah 14:17-22

17“You shall say to them this word: ‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease, for the virgin daughter of my people is smitten with a great wound, with a very grievous blow.

18If I go out into the field, behold, those slain by the sword! And if I enter the city, behold, the diseases of famine! For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land, and have no knowledge.’ ”

19Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? Does thy soul loathe Zion? Why hast thou smitten us so that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; for a time of healing, but behold, terror.

20We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, and the iniquity of our fathers, for we have sinned against thee.

21Do not spurn us, for thy name’s sake; do not dishonor thy glorious throne; remember and do not break thy covenant with us.

22Are there any among the false gods of the nations that can bring rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Art thou not he, O LORD our God? We set our hope on thee, for thou doest all these things.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 79:8-9, 11, 13

8Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.

9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name’s sake!

11Let the groans of the prisoners come before thee; according to thy great power preserve those doomed to die!

13Then we thy people, the flock of thy pasture, will give thanks to thee for ever; from generation to generation we will recount thy praise.

Gospel

Matthew 13:36-43

36Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”

37He answered, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of man;

38the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels.

40Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age.

41The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers,

42and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.

43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
