‘I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.’ Then the Lord said to him, ‘Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Aram.

For the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

1 As a deer longs for flowing streams: so my soul longs for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God:

When shall I come and behold the face of God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night:

while people say to me continually, ‘Where is your God?’ 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul:

how I went with the throng, and led them in procession to the house of God, with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me?:

Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God. 6 My soul is cast down within me: 4

Verses of the psalm are read alternately by a single reader and the congregation. A pause is observed at the colon for reflection. At Solemn High Mass, the choir sings the psalm.

therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep at the thunder of your cataracts: all your waves and your billows have gone over me.

By day the Lord commands his steadfast love: and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God, my rock, ‘Why have you forgotten me?: Why must I walk about mournfully because the enemy oppresses me?’

As with a deadly wound in my body, my adversaries taunt me: while they say to me continually, ‘Where is your God?’ Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me?: Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.

PSALM 43

1 Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people:

from those who are deceitful and unjust deliver me!

2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you cast me off ?:

Why must I walk about mournfully because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 O send out your light and your truth; let them lead me:

let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy:

and I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.

Second reading

Galatians 3.10-14,23-29 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the things written in the book of the law.’ Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law; for ‘The one who is righteous will live by faith.’ But the law does not rest on faith; on the contrary, ‘Whoever does the works of the law will live by them.’ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’— in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.

For the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Gospel

Luke 8.26-39 The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.

Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus and his disciples arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs.

When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me’— for Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.

(For many times it had seized him; he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the wilds.)

Jesus then asked him, ‘What is your name?’

He said, ‘Legion’; for many demons had entered him. They begged him not to order them to go back into the abyss.

Now there on the hillside a large herd of swine was feeding; and the demons begged Jesus to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran off and told it in the city

MASS READINGS and in the country. Then people came out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind.

And they were afraid. Those who had seen it told them how the one who had been possessed by demons had been healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them; for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, ‘Return to your home, and declare

how much God has done for you.’ So he went away, proclaiming throughout the city how much Jesus had done for him.

This is the gospel of the Lord, Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

OFFERTORY SENTENCE

Lord, receive our offering, and may this sacrifice of praise purify us in mind and heart and make us always eager to serve you.

COMMUNION SENTENCE

The eyes of all look to you, O Lord, and you give them food in due season.

COMMUNION MOTET Thy mercy, Jehovah

Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) 1. Thy mercy, Jehovah, is in the heavens: Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

Thy righteousness standeth like as the strong mountains, Thy judgements are a great deep.

2. O Lord, thou preservest both man and beast: How great is thy mercy, O Lord most high.

With thee is the fountain, the fountain of life; And in thy light shall we see light.
