DR Squared: Optional Memorial Of Saint Toribio De Mogrovejo, Bishop

First Reading:  2 Timothy 1:13-14; 2:1-3
Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus. Keep the good thing committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost, who dwelleth in us. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus:  And the things which thou hast heard of me by many witnesses, the same commend to faithful men, who shall be fit to teach others also. Labour as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 96 (95):3; V. 1-2a, 2b-3, 7-8, 10
R.  Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

V.  Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle:
     sing to the Lord, all the earth.
     Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name:

V.  (S)hew forth his salvation from day to day.
     Declare his glory among the Gentiles:
     his wonders among all people.

V.  Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles,
     bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:
     Bring to the Lord glory unto his name.
     Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

V.  Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned.
     For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved:
     he will judge the people with justice.
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.
