13th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Penitential Act: Confiteor
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;
Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints; and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Liturgy of the Word
1st Reading 1 Kgs 19:16b, 19-21
The LORD said to Elijah:
“You shall anoint Elisha,
son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah,
as prophet to succeed you.”
Elijah set out and
came upon Elisha,
son of Shaphat,
as he was plowing
with twelve yoke of oxen;
he was following the twelfth.
Elijah went over to him
and threw his cloak over him.
Elisha left the oxen,
ran after Elijah, and said,
“Please, let me kiss
my father and mother goodbye,
and I will follow you.”
Elijah answered, “Go back!
Have I done anything to you?”
Elisha left him,
and taking the yoke of oxen,
slaughtered them;
he used the plowing equipment
for fuel to boil their flesh,
and gave it to his people to eat.
Then Elisha left and followed
Elijah as his attendant.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 16:1-2, 5, 7-8, 9-10, 11
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge;
I say to the LORD, “My Lord are you.
O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
you it is who hold fast my lot.”
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
I bless the LORD who counsels me;
even in the night my heart exhorts me.
I set the LORD ever before me;
with him at my right hand
I shall not be disturbed.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
Therefore my heart is glad
and my soul rejoices,
my body, too, abides in confidence
because you will not abandon
my soul to the netherworld,
nor will you suffer your faithful one
to undergo corruption.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
You will show me the path to life,
fullness of joys in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
2nd Reading Gal 5:1, 13-18
Brothers and sisters:
For freedom Christ
set us free;
so stand firm
and do not submit
again to the yoke of slavery.
For you were
called for freedom,
brothers and sisters.
But do not use
this freedom
as an opportunity
for the flesh;
rather, serve one
another through love.
For the whole law is
fulfilled in one statement,
namely, You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.
But if you go on biting
and devouring one another,
beware that you are not
consumed by one another.
I say, then:
live by the Spirit
and you will certainly
not gratify
the desire of the flesh.
For the flesh has desires
against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh;
these are opposed
to each other,
so that you may not
do what you want.
But if you are guided
by the Spirit,
you are not under the law.
~Thanks be to God
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, Alleluia.
Speak, Lord, your servant is listening;
you have the words of everlasting life.
R. Alleluia, Alleluia
Gospel
Lk 9:51-62
When the days for Jesus’
being taken up were fulfilled,
he resolutely determined
to journey to Jerusalem,
and he sent messengers
ahead of him.
On the way they entered
a Samaritan village
to prepare for his
reception there,
but they would not
welcome him
because the destination
of his journey was Jerusalem.
When the disciples James
and John saw this they asked,
“Lord, do you want us
to call down fire from heaven
to consume them?”
Jesus turned and rebuked them,
and they journeyed
to another village.
As they were proceeding
on their journey someone said to him,
“I will follow you
wherever you go.”
Jesus answered him,
“Foxes have dens and birds
of the sky have nests,
but the Son of Man has
nowhere to rest his head.”
And to another he said,
“Follow me.”
But he replied,
“Lord, let me go first
and bury my father.”
But he answered him,
“Let the dead bury their dead.
But you, go and proclaim
the kingdom of God.”
And another said,
“I will follow you, Lord,
but first let me say farewell
to my family at home.”
To him Jesus said,
“No one who sets a hand to the plow
and looks to what was left behind
is fit for the kingdom of God.”
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake He was crucified
under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the
right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge
the living and the dead
and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from
the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic
and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the
resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
