Memorial of Saint John of the Cross, Priest and Doctor of the Church

For then I will change and purify

    the lips of the peoples,

from Reading I

The Lord hears the cry of the poor.

response to Responsorial Psalm

Come, O Lord, do not delay;

forgive the sins of your people.

Alleluia

‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ 

The son said in reply, ‘I will not,’

but afterwards he changed his mind and went. 

from Gospel

What vineyard do I need to change my mind and work in today:

In a separate action, a judge at a Texas district court ruled Dec. 9 the new law violates the state’s constitution. (CNS photo/Evelyn Hockstein, Reuters)
