Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading: First Kings 19: 9a, 11-13a
9a At the mountain of God, Horeb, Elias has come thither, he abode in a cave.
11 Then the Lord said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
12 And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
13a And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 85: 9, 10, 11-12, 13-14
R. (8) Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.
9 I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people.
10 Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.
11 Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
12 Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.
13 For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
14 Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
R. Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation.
Second Reading: Romans 9: 1-5
1 I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:
2 That I have great sadness, and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren, who are my kinsmen according to the flesh,
4 Who are Israelites, to whom belongeth the adoption as of children, and the glory, and the testament, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises:
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Alleluia: Psalms 130: 5
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
5 I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for his word.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew 14: 22-33
22 And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.
23 And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.
24 But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.
26 And they seeing him walk upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.
27 And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.
28 And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.
29 And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus.
30 But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.
