Ezekiel 26
1 In the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,
2 ‘Son of man, since Tyre has said of Jerusalem: “Aha! She is shattered, the Gateway to the Nations; she now gives way to me. Her riches are ruined!”
3 Very well, the Lord Yahweh says this, “Now, Tyre, I am against you,
4 I shall raise many nations against you as the sea raises its waves. They will destroy the walls of Tyre, they will demolish her towers; I shall sweep the dust of her away and reduce her to a naked rock.
5 She will be a drying-ground out to sea for fishing-nets. For I have spoken- declares Lord Yahweh. She will be the prey of the nations.
6 As for her daughters on the mainland, these will be put to the sword, and they will know that I am Yahweh.”
7 ‘For the Lord Yahweh says this, “From the north, I shall bring Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, king of kings, down on Tyre with horses, chariots, cavalry and an enormous army.
8 He will put your daughters on the mainland to the sword. He will build siege-works against you, cast up a siege-ramp against you, raise a screen against you;
9 he will pound your walls with his battering-rams, and demolish your towers with his siege-engines.
10 His horses are so many that their dust will hide you. The noise of his horsemen and his chariot-wheels will make your walls tremble as he enters your gates as though storming into a city through the breach.
11 With his horses’ hoofs he will trample through all your streets; he will put your people to the sword, and throw your massive pillars to the ground.
12 Your wealth will be seized, your merchandise looted, your walls rased, your luxurious houses shattered, your stones, your timbers, your very dust, thrown into the sea.
13 I shall put an end to the sound of your songs; the sound of your harps will not be heard again.
14 I shall reduce you to a naked rock, and make you into a drying-ground for fishing-nets, never to be rebuilt; for I, Yahweh, have spoken -declares the Lord Yahweh.”
15 ‘The Lord Yahweh says this to Tyre, “Will not the islands quake at the sound of your fall, while the wounded groan and the slaughter takes place inside you?
16 All the princes of the sea will leave their thrones, lay aside their cloaks, take off their embroidered robes. Dressed in terror they will sit on the ground trembling incessantly, stunned at your fate.
17 “They will raise the lament for you as follows: You are destroyed then, vanished from the seas, famous city, former sea-power, who with her citizens, used to spread terror all over the mainland!
18 Now the islands are trembling on the day of your fall; the islands of the sea are terrified by your end.
19 “For the Lord Yahweh says this: “When I make you a ruined city like other deserted cities, when I raise the deep against you and the ocean covers you,
20 when I fling you down with those who go down into the abyss, with the people of long ago, and put you deep in the underworld, in the ruins of long ago with those who sink into oblivion, so that you can never come back or be restored to the land of the living,
21 I will make you an object of terror; you will not exist. People will look for you but never find you again — declares the Lord Yahweh!”
Ezekiel 27.
The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,
2 ‘Son of man, raise the lament for Tyre.
3 Say to Tyre, “City enthroned at the gateway of the sea, agent between the peoples and the many islands, Lord Yahweh says this: Tyre, you used to say: I am a ship perfect in beauty.
4 Your frontiers were far out to sea; those who built you made you perfect in beauty.
5 Cypress from Senir they used for all your planking. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast above you.
6 From oaks of Bashan they made your oars. They built you a deck of cedar inlaid with ivory from the Kittim isles.
7 Embroidered linen from Egypt was used for your sail and for your flag. Purple and scarlet from the Elishah islands formed your deck-tent.
8 The people of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen. The sages of Tyre were aboard, serving as sailors.
9 The elders and craftsmen of Gebal were there to caulk your seams. “Every sea-going ship and crew frequented you to guarantee your trade.
10 Men from Persia, Lud and Put served as warriors in your army; hanging up shield and helmet in you, they displayed your splendour.
11 The sons of Arvad with their army manned your walls all round, while the Gammadians manned your towers; hanging their shields all round your walls, they completed your beauty.
12 Tarshish traded with you because of your abundant resources and exchanged your merchandise for silver, iron, tin and lead.
13 Javan, Tubal and Meshech traded with you. For your merchandise they traded slaves and bronze artefacts.
14 The people of Beth-Togarmah traded your horses, chargers, mules.
15 The people of Dedan traded with you; many islands were your customers and paid you in ivory tusks and ebony.
16 Edom traded with you for the sake of your many manufactured goods, exchanging garnets, purple, embroideries, fine linen, coral and rubies for your goods.
17 Judah and the land of Israel also traded with you, bringing corn from Minnith, pannag, honey, oil and balm.
18 Damascus traded with you, for quantities of your manufactured goods and other goods of all kinds, furnishing you with wine from Helbon and wool from Zahar.
19 Dan and Javan, from Uzal onwards, supplied you with wrought iron, cassia and reeds in exchange for your goods.
20 Dedan traded with you in saddle-cloths.
21 Arabia and all the sheikhs of Kedar were your customers; they paid in lambs, rams and he-goats.
22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; they supplied you with the finest spices, precious stones and gold for your merchandise.
23 Haran, Canneh and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad traded with you.
24 They traded rich clothes, embroidered and purple cloaks, multi-coloured materials and strong plaited cords for your markets.
25 Ships of Tarshish sailed on your business; you were full and heavily loaded far out to sea.
26 Out to the open sea your oarsmen rowed you. The east wind has wrecked you far out to sea.
27 Your riches, your goods, your cargo, your seamen, your sailors, your caulkers, your commercial agents, all the warriors you carry, and all the passengers who are aboard will founder far out to sea on the day of your shipwreck.
28 When they hear the cries of your sailors the coasts will tremble.
29 Then the oarsmen will all desert their ships. The sailors and seafaring people will stay ashore.
30 They will raise their voices for you and weep bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes;
31 they will shave their heads for you and put sackcloth round their waists. With heartfelt bitterness they will weep for you, bitterly wail.
32 Wailing, they will raise the lament for you, they will lament over you: Who is like Tyre, far out to sea?
33 When you unloaded your goods to satisfy so many peoples, you enriched the kings of the earth with your excess of wealth and goods.
34 Now you have been wrecked by the waves, by the depths of the sea. Your cargo and all your passengers have foundered with you.
35 All those who live in the islands will be stunned at your fate. Their kings will quake with horror, with downcast expressions.
36 The merchants of the nations will whistle at your fate. You will be an object of terror, gone for ever.” ‘
Luke 8
1 Now it happened that after this he made his way through towns and villages preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
2 as well as certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and ailments: Mary surnamed the Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 Joanna the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their own resources.
4 With a large crowd gathering and people from every town finding their way to him, he told this parable:
5 ‘A sower went out to sow his seed. Now as he sowed, some fell on the edge of the path and was trampled on; and the birds of the air ate it up.
6 Some seed fell on rock, and when it came up it withered away, having no moisture.
7 Some seed fell in the middle of thorns and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 And some seed fell into good soil and grew and produced its crop a hundredfold.’ Saying this he cried, ‘Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!’
9 His disciples asked him what this parable might mean,
10 and he said, ‘To you is granted to understand the secrets of the kingdom of God; for the rest it remains in parables, so that they may look but not perceive, listen but not understand.
11 ‘This, then, is what the parable means: the seed is the word of God.
12 Those on the edge of the path are people who have heard it, and then the devil comes and carries away the word from their hearts in case they should believe and be saved.
13 Those on the rock are people who, when they first hear it, welcome the word with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of trial they give up.
14 As for the part that fell into thorns, this is people who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries and riches and pleasures of life and never produce any crops.
15 As for the part in the rich soil, this is people with a noble and generous heart who have heard the word and take it to themselves and yield a harvest through their perseverance.
16 ‘No one lights a lamp to cover it with a bowl or to put it under a bed. No, it is put on a lamp-stand so that people may see the light when they come in.
17 For nothing is hidden but it will be made clear, nothing secret but it will be made known and brought to light.
18 So take care how you listen; anyone who has, will be given more; anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he thinks he has.’
19 His mother and his brothers came looking for him, but they could not get to him because of the crowd.
20 He was told, ‘Your mother and brothers are standing outside and want to see you.’
21 But he said in answer, ‘My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and put it into practice.’
22 It happened that one day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, ‘Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.’ So they set out,
23 and as they sailed he fell asleep. When a squall of wind came down on the lake the boat started shipping water and they found themselves in danger.
24 So they went to rouse him saying, ‘Master! Master! We are lost!’ Then he woke up and rebuked the wind and the rough water; and they subsided and it was calm again.
25 He said to them, ‘Where is your faith?’ They were awestruck and astounded and said to one another, ‘Who can this be, that gives orders even to winds and waves and they obey him?’
26 They came to land in the territory of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 He was stepping ashore when a man from the city who was possessed by devils came towards him; for a long time the man had been living with no clothes on, not in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Catching sight of Jesus he gave a shout, fell at his feet and cried out at the top of his voice, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I implore you, do not torture me.’
29 For Jesus had been telling the unclean spirit to come out of the man. It had seized on him a great many times, and then they used to secure him with chains and fetters to restrain him, but he would always break the fastenings, and the devil would drive him out into the wilds.
30 Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’ He said, ‘Legion’ — because many devils had gone into him.
31 And these begged him not to order them to depart into the Abyss.
32 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there on the mountain, and the devils begged him to let them go into these. So he gave them leave.
33 The devils came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd charged down the cliff into the lake and was drowned.
34 When the swineherds saw what had happened they ran off and told their story in the city and in the country round about;
35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man from whom the devils had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Those who had witnessed it told them how the man who had been possessed came to be saved.
37 The entire population of the Gerasene territory was in great fear and asked Jesus to leave them. So he got into the boat and went back.
38 The man from whom the devils had gone out asked to be allowed to stay with him, but he sent him away saying,
39 ‘Go back home and report all that God has done for you.’ So the man went off and proclaimed throughout the city all that Jesus had done for him.
40 On his return Jesus was welcomed by the crowd, for they were all there waiting for him.
41 And suddenly there came a man named Jairus, who was president of the synagogue. He fell at Jesus’ feet and pleaded with him to come to his house,
42 because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, who was dying. And the crowds were almost stifling Jesus as he went.
43 Now there was a woman suffering from a haemorrhage for the past twelve years, whom no one had been able to cure.
44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak; and the haemorrhage stopped at that very moment.
45 Jesus said, ‘Who was it that touched me?’ When they all denied it, Peter said, ‘Master, it is the crowds round you, pushing.’
46 But Jesus said, ‘Somebody touched me. I felt that power had gone out from me.’
47 Seeing herself discovered, the woman came forward trembling, and falling at his feet explained in front of all the people why she had touched him and how she had been cured at that very moment.
48 ‘My daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has saved you; go in peace.’
49 While he was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the president of the synagogue to say, ‘Your daughter has died. Do not trouble the Master any further.’
50 But Jesus heard this, and he spoke to the man, ‘Do not be afraid, only have faith and she will be saved.’
51 When he came to the house he allowed no one to go in with him except Peter and John and James, and the child’s father and mother.
52 They were all crying and mourning for her, but Jesus said, ‘Stop crying; she is not dead, but asleep.’
53 But they ridiculed him, knowing she was dead.
54 But taking her by the hand himself he spoke to her, ‘Child, get up.’
55 And her spirit returned and she got up at that very moment. Then he told them to give her something to eat.
56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

Reading 1, Revelation 5:1-10
1 I saw that in the right hand of the One sitting on the throne there was a scroll that was written on back and front and was sealed with seven seals.
2 Then I saw a powerful angel who called with a loud voice, ‘Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?’
3 But there was no one, in heaven or on the earth or under the earth, who was able to open the scroll and read it.
4 I wept bitterly because nobody could be found to open the scroll and read it,
5 but one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed, and so he will open the scroll and its seven seals.’
6 Then I saw, in the middle of the throne with its four living creatures and the circle of the elders, a Lamb standing that seemed to have been sacrificed; it had seven horns, and it had seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits that God has sent out over the whole world.
7 The Lamb came forward to take the scroll from the right hand of the One sitting on the throne,
8 and when he took it, the four living creatures prostrated themselves before him and with them the twenty-four elders; each one of them was holding a harp and had a golden bowl full of incense which are the prayers of the saints.
9 They sang a new hymn: You are worthy to take the scroll and to break its seals, because you were sacrificed, and with your blood you bought people for God of every race, language, people and nation
10 and made them a line of kings and priests for God, to rule the world.
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 149:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 9
1 Alleluia! Sing a new song to Yahweh: his praise in the assembly of the faithful!
2 Israel shall rejoice in its Maker, the children of Zion delight in their king;
3 they shall dance in praise of his name, play to him on tambourines and harp!
4 For Yahweh loves his people, he will crown the humble with salvation.
5 The faithful exult in glory, shout for joy as they worship him,
6 praising God to the heights with their voices, a two-edged sword in their hands,
9 to execute on them the judgement passed — to the honour of all his faithful.
Gospel, Luke 9:41-44
41 In reply Jesus said, ‘Faithless and perverse generation! How much longer must I be among you and put up with you? Bring your son here.’
42 Even while the boy was coming, the devil threw him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and cured the boy and gave him back to his father,
43 and everyone was awestruck by the greatness of God. But while everyone was full of admiration for all he did, he said to his disciples,
44 ‘For your part, you must have these words constantly in mind: The Son of man is going to be delivered into the power of men.’
