MEMORIAL OF ST GREGORY THE GREAT, PP.D
READING THYRDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER 2026:

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 3:18-23)

Brethren: Let no one deceive himself If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; and you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 24: 1 -2. 3-4ab. 5-6 (R. 1ab)
R/. The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness.

The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness, the world, and all who dwell in it.
It is he who set it on the seas;
on the rivers he made it firm. R/.

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
The clean of hands and pure of heart, whose soul is not set on vain things. R/.

R/. The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness.

Blessings from the Lord shall he receive, and right reward from the God who saves him.
Such are the people who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. R/.

At that time: While the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret. And he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catc

TWENTY SECOND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A WEDNESDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER 2026:

READING

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 3: 1-9)

Brethren, I could not address you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving like ordinary men? For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely men? What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labour. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 33: 12-13. 14-15. 20-21 (R. 12b)
R/. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen for his heritage.

Blessed the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he has chosen as his heritage.
From the heavens the Lord looks forth;
he sees all the children of men. R/.

From the place where he dwells he gazes
on all the dwellers on the earth, he who shapes the hearts of them all, and considers all their deeds. R/.

R/. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen for his heritage.

Our soul is waiting for the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
In him do our hearts find joy.
We trust in his holy name. R/.

TWENTY SEACIND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A TUESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2026:

READING.

A reading from the Letters of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 2:10b-16)

Brethren: The Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For what person knows a man’s thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit. The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 145:8-9.10-11 .12-13ab.13cd-14 (R. 17a)
R/. The Lord is just in all his ways.

The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in mercy.
How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures. R/.

All your works shall thank you,
O Lord, and all your faithful ones bless you.
They shall speak of the glory of your reign, and declare your mighty deeds. R/.

R/. The Lord is just in all his ways.

They shall make known your might to the children of men,
and the glorious splendour of your reign.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your rule endures for all generations. R/.

The Lord is faithful in all his words, and holy in all his deeds.
The Lord supports all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down. R/.

READING

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)

When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 119:97.98.99.100.101. 102 (R. 97a)
R/. O Lord, how I love your law!

O Lord, how I love your law:
my meditation all the day! R/.

Your command makes me wiser than my foes,
for it is with me always. R/.

I have more insight than all who teach me,
for I ponder your decrees. R/.

R/. O Lord, how I love your law!

I have gained more understanding than my elders,
for I keep your precepts. R/.

I keep my feet from every evil path, to obey your word. R/.

I have not turned away from your decrees; you yourself have taught me. R/.

He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” And he closed the book, and gave it back to the

MEMORIAL OF THE MARTYRDOM OF JOHN THE
BAPTIST SATURDAY 29TH AUGUST 2026:

READING
A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 1:26-31)

Consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to the flesh, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no flesh might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; therefore, as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord.”

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm33: 12-13.18-19.20-21 (R: 12b)
R/. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen as his heritage.

Blessed the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he has chosen as his heritage.
From the heavens the Lord looks forth; he sees all the children of men. R/.

Yes, the Lord’s eyes are on those who fear him, who hope in his merciful love,
to rescue their souls from death,
to keep them alive in famine. R/.

R/. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen as his heritage.

Our soul is waiting for the Lord.

At that time: Herod sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; because he had married her.

But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he w

First Reading
They were together and had all things in common.
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
2:42-47
[After the day of Pentecost all who believed] held steadfastly to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers. And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common; and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
The Word of the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps. 84 (83): 1-5.10 (R/. cf. 4a)
R/. Blessed are they who dwell in your house, O Lord.
How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of Hosts.
My soul longs, yes, faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.
R/. Blessed are they who dwell in your house, O Lord.
Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.
R/. Blessed are they who dwell in your house, O Lord.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever singing your praise!
Blessed are the men whose strength is in you,
in whose hearts are the highways to Zion.
R/. Blessed are they who dwell in your house, O Lord.
For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
R/. Blessed are they who dwell in your house, O Lord.

MEMORIAL OF ST. MONICA THURSDAY 27TH AUGUST 2026:

READING
The beginning of the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 1:1-9)

Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, to the Church of God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him with all speech and all knowledge — even as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you — so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ; who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord
