SUNDAY READINGS REFLECTION
We continue with discipleship and reflect that our journey in faith is based on the Word of God. It is in our
hearts and minds, a gift, given to us through the Holy Spirit. All things in heaven and earth are made in the
image of Christ Jesus, our Lord and God. The passage from Colossians has two aspects, Christ as the
firstborn of all creation and the first to be born from the dead. In all things Christ brings perfection whether
this is in family life or in the other parts of our lives. The Samaritans were not liked at all by the Jews,
particularly experts in the law. Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan to a lawyer, who was trying to
catch him out. Our Lord makes this man see that it is how we treat others and not about who they are that
is important. In the same way treating everyone equally should be at the heart of all we do and say.

READINGS AT MASS SEA SUNDAY, 15TH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR, 14TH JULY 2019
The Order of Mass is in the Laudate Hymn book from page 200.
First Reading Deuteronomy 30:10-14 Moses said to the people: ‘Obey the voice of the Lord your God, keeping those commandments and laws of his that are written in the Book of this Law, and you shall return to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. ‘For this Law that I enjoin on you today is not beyond your strength or beyond your reach. It is not in heaven, so that you need to wonder, “Who will go up to heaven for us and bring it down to us, so that we may hear it and keep it?” Nor is it beyond the seas, so that you need to wonder, “Who will cross the seas for us and bring it back to us, so that we may hear it and keep it?” No, the Word is very near to you, it is in your mouth and in your heart for your observance.’ The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Psalm Psalm 68(69):14,17,30-31,33-34,36-37 Response: Seek the Lord, you who are poor, and your hearts will revive
Second Reading Colossians 1:15-20 Christ Jesus is the image of the unseen God and the first-born of all creation, for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, Thrones, Dominations, Sovereignties, Powers – all things were created through him and for him. Before anything was created, he existed, and he holds all things in unity. Now the Church is his body, he is its head. As he is the Beginning, he was first to be born from the dead, so that he should be first in every way; because God wanted all perfection to be found in him and all things to be reconciled through him and for him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, when he made peace by his death on the cross. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia! The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice, says the Lord, I know them and they follow me. Alleluia!
Gospel Luke 10:25-37 There was a lawyer who, to disconcert Jesus, stood up and said to him, ‘Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the Law? What do you read there?’ He replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.’ ‘You have answered right,’ said Jesus ‘do this and life is yours.’ But the man was anxious to justify himself and said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’ Jesus replied, ‘A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of brigands; they took all he had, beat him and then made off, leaving him half dead. Now a priest happened to be travelling down the same road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite who came to the place saw him, and passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan traveller who came upon him was moved with compassion when he saw him. He went up and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. He then lifted him on to his own mount, carried him to the inn and looked after him. Next day, he took out two denarii and handed them to the innkeeper. “Look after him,” he said “and on my way back I will make good any extra expense you have.” Which of these three, do you think, proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the brigands‘ hands?’ ‘The one who took pity on him’ he replied. Jesus said to him, ‘Go, and do the same yourself.’ The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Memorial Acclamation
We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.
1.
This is my prayer to you, my prayer for your favour. In your great love, answer me, O God, with your help that never fails: Lord, answer, for your love is kind; in your compassion, turn towards me.
2.

3. The poor when they see it will be glad and God-seeking hearts will revive; for the Lord listens to the needy and does not spurn his servants in their chains.
4. For God will bring help to Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah and men shall dwell there in possession. The sons of his servants shall inherit it; those who love his name shall dwell there.
