The Lord's is the earth and its fullness.The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,the world, and those who dwell in it.It is he who set it on the seas;on the rivers he made it firm.Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?Who shall stand in his holy place?The clean of hands and pure of heart,whose soul is not set on vain things.Blessings from the Lord shall he receive,and right reward from the God who saves him.Such are the people who seek him,who seek the face of the God of Jacob.R/. The Lord's is the earth and its fullness.Alleluia, Alleluia.Follow me, says the Lord, and I will make you fishers of men.Alleluia.Gospel: Luke 5:1-11A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.At that time: While the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret. And he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word, I will let down the nets.” And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking, they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats,so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men.” And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.The Gospel of the Lord.Communion Antiphon: Luke 12:42This is the servant, faithful and wise, whom the Lord set over his household to give them their measure of wheat in due season.
