You brought up my life from the pit, O Lord.“I called to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.”“For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.”“Then I said, ‘I am cast out from your presence; how shall I again look upon your holy temple?’ ”“When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.”R/. Gospel: Luke 10:25-37At that time:  Behold, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test,  saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him,  “What is written in the law?  What do you read there?” And he answered,  “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,  and with all your soul,  and with all your strength,  and with all your mind;  and your neighbour as yourself.”  And he said to him,  “You have answered right;  do this, and you will live.” But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus,  “And who is my neighbour?” Jesus replied,  “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,  and he fell among robbers,  who stripped him and beat him, and departed,  leaving him half dead.  Now by chance, a priest was going down that road,  and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.  So likewise a Levite,  when he came to the place and saw him,  passed by on the other side.  But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was;  and when he saw him, he had compassion,  and went to him and bound up his wounds,  pouring on oil and wine;  then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn,  and took care of him.  And the next day he took out two denarii  and gave them to the innkeeper, saying,  ‘Take care of him;  and whatever more you spend,  I will repay you when I come back.’  Which of these three, do you think,  proved neighbour to the man who fell among the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed mercy on him.” And Jesus said to him,  “Go and do likewise.”
