First Reading – Proverbs 30:5-9

5 Every word of God is tested; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Add nothing to his words, lest he reprove you, and you will be exposed as a deceiver.

7 Two things I ask of you, deny them not to me before I die: 8 Put falsehood and lying far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; provide me only with the food I need; 9 Lest, being full, I deny you, saying, “Who is the LORD?” Or, being in want, I steal, and profane the name of my God.

Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 119:29, 72, 89, 101, 104, 163

R. (105) Your word, O Lord, is a lamp for my feet.

29 Remove from me the way of falsehood,

and favor me with your law.

R. Your word, O Lord, is a lamp for my feet.

72 The law of your mouth is to me more precious

than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

R. Your word, O Lord, is a lamp for my feet.

89 Your word, O LORD, endures forever;

it is firm as the heavens.

R. Your word, O Lord, is a lamp for my feet.

101 From every evil way I withhold my feet,

that I may keep your words.

R. Your word, O Lord, is a lamp for my feet.

104 Through your precepts I gain discernment;

therefore I hate every false way.

R. Your word, O Lord, is a lamp for my feet.

163 Falsehood I hate and abhor;

your law I love.

R. Your word, O Lord, is a lamp for my feet.

Alleluia – Mark 1:15

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

15 The Kingdom of God is at hand;

repent and believe in the Gospel.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Reading for September 23 2026 – Luke 9:1-6

1 Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

3 He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there.

5 And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.” 6 Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the Good News and curing diseases everywhere.
