First readingIsaiah 61:1-3d

The Lord GOD anointed me and sent me to bring good news to the poor.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
  because the Lord has anointed me;
He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly,
  to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
  and release to the prisoners,
To announce a year of favor from the Lord
  and a day of vindication by our God,
  to comfort all who mourn;
To place on those who mourn in Zion
  a diadem instead of ashes,
To give them oil of gladness in place of mourning,
  a glorious mantle instead of a listless spirit.

Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 89:2-3, 4-5, 21-22, 25 and 27
For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
The favors of the Lord I will sing forever;
  through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;
  in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.
For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
  I have sworn to David my servant:
Forever will I confirm your posterity
  and establish your throne for all generations.”
For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
“I have found David, my servant;
  with my holy oil I have anointed him,
That my hand may be always with him,
  and that my arm may make him strong.”
For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
“My faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him,
  and through my name shall his horn be exalted.
He shall say of me, ‘You are my father,
  my God, the Rock, my savior.’”
For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.

GospelLuke 10:1-9

The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few.

The Lord Jesus appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’”
