First Reading
1And Elias the prophet stood up, as a fire, and his word burnt like a torch.
2He brought a famine upon them, and they that provoked him in their envy, were reduced to a small number, for they could not endure the commandments of the Lord.
3By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and he brought down fire from heaven thrice.
4Thus was Elias magnified in his wondrous works. And who can glory like to thee?
5Who raisedst up a dead man from below, from the lot of death, by the word of the Lord God.
6Who broughtest down kings to destruction, and brokest easily their power in pieces, and the glorious from their bed.
7Who heardest judgment in Sina, and in Horeb the judgments of vengeance.
8Who anointedst kings to penance, and madest prophets successors after thee.
9Who wast taken up in a whirlwind of fire, in a chariot of fiery horses.
10Who art registered in the judgments of times to appease the wrath of the Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
11Blessed are they that saw thee, and were honoured with thy friendship.
12For we live only in our life, but after death our name shall not be such.
13Elias was indeed covered with the whirlwind, and his spirit was filled up in Eliseus: in his days he feared not the prince, and no man was more powerful than he.
14No word could overcome him, and after death his body prophesied.
Responsorial Psalm
1For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
4His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
5The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
7Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
Gospel
7And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard.
8Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him.
9Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.
12And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen.
14For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences.
15But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.
The Gospel of the Lord.
