Angels: Exploring the Unseen World on Speakin' with the Deacons

Reading 1, Hosea 6:3-6

³ Let us know, let us strive to know Yahweh; that he will come is as certain as the dawn. He will come to us like a shower, like the rain of springtime to the earth.

⁴ What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? For your love is like morning mist, like the dew that quickly disappears.

⁵ This is why I have hacked them to pieces by means of the prophets, why I have killed them with words from my mouth, why my sentence will blaze forth like the dawn-

⁶ for faithful love is what pleases me, not sacrifice; knowledge of God, not burnt offerings.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 50:1, 8, 12-13, 14-15

¹ [Psalm Of Asaph] The God of gods, Yahweh, is speaking, from east to west he summons the earth.

⁸ 'It is not with your sacrifices that I find fault, those burnt offerings constantly before me;

¹² 'If I am hungry I shall not tell you, since the world and all it holds is mine.

¹³ Am I to eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴ 'Let thanksgiving be your sacrifice to God, fulfil the vows you make to the Most High;

¹⁵ then if you call to me in time of trouble I will rescue you and you will honour me.'

Gospel, Matthew 9:9-13

⁹ As Jesus was walking on from there he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And he got up and followed him.

¹⁰ Now while he was at table in the house it happened that a number of tax collectors and sinners came to sit at the table with Jesus and his disciples.

¹¹ When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, 'Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners?'

¹² When he heard this he replied, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick.

¹³ Go and learn the meaning of the words: Mercy is what pleases me, not sacrifice. And indeed I came to call not the upright, but sinners.'

Reading 2, Romans 4:18-25

¹⁸ Though there seemed no hope, he hoped and believed that he was to become father of many nations in fulfilment of the promise: Just so will your descendants be.

¹⁹ Even the thought that his body was as good as dead -- he was about a hundred years old -- and that Sarah's womb was dead too did not shake his faith.

²⁰ Counting on the promise of God, he did not doubt or disbelieve, but drew strength from faith and gave glory to God,

²¹ fully convinced that whatever God promised he has the power to perform.

²² This is the faith that was reckoned to him as uprightness.

²³ And the word 'reckoned' in scripture applies not only to him;

²⁴ it is there for our sake too -- our faith, too, will be 'reckoned'

²⁵ because we believe in him who raised from the dead our Lord Jesus who was handed over to death for our sins and raised to life for our justification.
