A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Romans

Faith comes by hearing: how beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace

Read Romans 10 in the Bible

For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be confounded. 12For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved. 14How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher? 15And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things! 16But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report? 17Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ. 18But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world.

The word of the Lord.

Psalm · Ps 19:2-5

The heavens tell the glory of God; their voice goes out through all the earth

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth.

2The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands. 3Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge. 4There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard. 5Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Jesus calls Peter and Andrew: I will make you fishers of men

Read Matthew 4 in the Bible

Gospel Acclamation

Come ye after me, saith the Lord, and I will make you to be fishers of men.

And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers). 19And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. 20And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him. 21And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them. 22And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him.
