The 25th of September, 2024 is Wednesday in the Twenty-Fifth 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: PRV 30:5-9
The first reading from the Proverbs.
“Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Don’t you add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.”
“Two things I have asked of you. Don’t deny me before I die.
Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.”

Gospel of the Day: LK 9:1-6
From the gospel scripture according to Luke.
He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.
He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey-no staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money. Don’t have two tunics each.
Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there.
As many as don’t receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
They departed and went throughout the villages, preaching the Good News and healing everywhere.
