Psalm : Ps 146 (145)
R// Blessed is the one whose help is the God of Jacob.
Hymn to the God of help
146:1 Alleluia! Praise Yahweh, my soul!
146:2 I mean to praise Yahweh all my life, I mean to sing to my God as long as I live.
146:3 Do not put your trust in men in power, or in any mortal man – he cannot save,
146:4 he yields his breath and goes back to the earth he came from, and on that day all his schemes perish.
146:5 Happy the man who has the God of Jacob to help him, whose hope is fixed on Yahweh his God,
146:6 maker of heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that these hold! Yahweh, forever faithful,
146:7 gives justice to those denied it, gives food to the hungry, gives liberty to prisoners.
146:9c and frustrates the wicked.
146:10 Yahweh reigns for ever, your God, Zion, from age to age.
Gospel : Lk 17, 20-25
The coming of the kingdom of God
17:20 Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, he gave them this answer, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God does not admit of observation
17:21 and there will be no one to say, “Look here! Look there!” For, you must know, the kingdom of God is among you.’
The day of the Son of Man
17:22 He said to the disciples, ‘A time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man and will not see it.
17:23 They will say to you, “Look there!” or, “Look here!” Make no move; do not set off in pursuit;
17:24 for as the lightning flashing from one part of heaven lights up the other, so will be the Son of Man when his day comes.
17:25 But first he must suffer grievously and be rejected by this generation.
