The 5th of September, 2024 is Thursday in the Twenty-Second Week of Ordinary Time. The Holy Bible verses for the mass readings for this day came from the Liturgical Calendar of the Year 2024.
Reading 1: 1 COR 3:18-23
The first reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”
And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”
Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours, and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
Responsorial Psalm: PS 24:1-2, 3-4AB, 5-6
Response: The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
R: The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood.
R: The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face-even Jacob.
R: The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
Gospel of the Day: LK 5:1-11
From the gospel scripture according to Luke.
Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.
He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
