Prima lettura

Genesis 21:5, 8-20a

Abraham was one hundred years old when his son, Isaac, was born to him. The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking. Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac." The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight on account of his son. God said to Abraham, "Don't let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac. I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child." Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs. She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, "Don't let me see the death of the child." She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept. God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Don't be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation." God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy, and he grew. He lived in the wilderness, and as he grew up, he became an archer.

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 34:7-8, 10-11, 12-13

The LORD's angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing. Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

Vangelo

Matthew 8:28-34

E QUANDO egli fu giunto all'altra riva, nella contrada de' Ghergheseni, gli si fecero incontro due indemoniati, usciti de' monumenti, fieri oltre modo, talchè niuno poteva passar per quella via. Ed ecco, gridarono, dicendo: Che vi è tra noi e te, o Gesù, Figliuol di Dio? sei tu venuto qua, per tormentarci innanzi il tempo? Or lungi da essi vi era una greggia di molti porci, che pasceva. E i demoni lo pregavono, dicendo: Se tu ci cacci, permettici di andare in quella greggia di porci. Ed egli disse loro: Andate. Ed essi, usciti, se ne andarono in quella greggia di porci; ed ecco, tutta quella greggia di porci si gettò per lo precipizio nel mare, e quelli morirono nelle acque. E coloro che li pasturavano fuggirono; e, andati nella città, riferirono tutte queste cose, ed anche il fatto degli indemoniati. Ed ecco, tutta la città uscì incontro a Gesù; ed avendolo veduto, lo pregarono che si dipartisse da' lor confini.
