DR Squared: Memorial Of Saint Vincent De Paul, Priest

First Reading:  1 Corinthians 1:26-31
For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:  But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:  That no flesh should glory in his sight. But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:  That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 112 (111):1a; V. 1bc-2, 3-4, 5-7a, 7b-8, 9
R.  Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord:

V.  Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord:
     he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.
     His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
     the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

V.  Glory and wealth shall be in his house:
     and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.
     To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness:
     he is merciful, and compassionate and just. 

V.  Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth:
     he shall order his words with judgment:
     Because he shall not be moved for ever.
     The just shall be in everlasting remembrance:

V.  (H)e shall not fear the evil hearing.
     His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:
     His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved
     until he look over his enemies.

V.  He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor:
     his justice remaineth for ever and ever:
     his horn shall be exalted in glory.
Gospel Reading:  Matthew 9:35-38
And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity. And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd. Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
