Reading 1, Romans 11:29-36

²⁹ There is no change of mind on God's part about the gifts he has made or of his choice.

³⁰ Just as you were in the past disobedient to God but now you have been shown mercy, through their disobedience;

³¹ so in the same way they are disobedient now, so that through the mercy shown to you they too will receive mercy.

³² God has imprisoned all human beings in their own disobedience only to show mercy to them all.

³³ How rich and deep are the wisdom and the knowledge of God! We cannot reach to the root of his decisions or his ways.

³⁴ Who has ever known the mind of the Lord? Who has ever been his adviser?

³⁵ Who has given anything to him, so that his presents come only as a debt returned?

³⁶ Everything there is comes from him and is caused by him and exists for him. To him be glory for ever! Amen.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 69:30-31, 33-34, 36-37

³⁰ I will praise God's name in song, I will extol him by thanksgiving,

³¹ for this will please Yahweh more than an ox, than a bullock horned and hoofed.

³³ For God listens to the poor, he has never scorned his captive people.

³⁴ Let heaven and earth and seas, and all that stirs in them, acclaim him!

³⁶ the descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will dwell there.
