Year II — "Blessed are the poor in spirit"
First Reading
1And Elias the Thesbite of the inhabitants of Galaad said to Achab: As the Lord liveth the God of Israel, in whose sight I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to the words of my mouth.
2And the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
3Get thee hence, and go towards the east and hide thyself by the torrent of Carith, which is over against the Jordan,
4And there thou shalt drink of the torrent: and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan.
6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of tile torrent.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 121:1bc-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8
1I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.
3May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.
4Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.
5The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.
6The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.
7The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.
8May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
Gospel
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him.
2And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:
3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.
5Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
6Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
10Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
12Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.
