Prima lettura

Jonah 1:1-2:1-2, 11

Now the LORD's word came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me." But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up. Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship and he was laying down, and was fast asleep. So the ship master came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God! Maybe your God will notice us, so that we won't perish." They all said to each other, "Come! Let's cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. Then they asked him, "Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?" He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land." Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What have you done?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them. Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more stormy. He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you." Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not, for the sea grew more and more stormy against them. Therefore they cried to the LORD, and said, "We beg you, LORD, we beg you, don't let us die for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, LORD, have done as it pleased you." So they took up Jonah and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging. Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows. The LORD prepared a huge fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Then Jonah prayed to the LORD, his God, out of the fish's belly.

Salmo responsoriale

Jonah 2:3, 4, 5, 8

For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me. I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple.' The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head. Those who regard vain idols forsake their own mercy.

Vangelo

Luke 10:25-37

ALLORA ecco, un certo dottor della legge si levò, tentandolo, e dicendo: Maestro, facendo che, erediterò la vita eterna? Ed egli gli disse: Nella legge che è egli scritto? come leggi? E colui, rispondendo, disse: Ama il Signore Iddio tuo con tutto il tuo cuore, e con tutta l'anima tua, e con tutta la forza tua, e con tutta la mente tua; e il tuo prossimo come te stesso. Ed egli gli disse: Tu hai dirittamente risposto; fa' ciò, e viverai. Ed egli, volendo giustificarsi, disse a Gesù: E chi è mio prossimo? E Gesù, replicando, disse: Un uomo scendeva di Gerusalemme in Gerico, e si abbattè in ladroni; i quali, spogliatolo, ed anche dategli di molte ferite, se ne andarono, lasciandolo mezzo morto. Or a caso un sacerdote scendeva per quella stessa via; e, veduto colui, passò oltre di rincontro. Simigliantemente ancora, un Levita, essendo venuto presso di quel luogo, e, vedutolo, passò oltre di rincontro. Ma un Samaritano, facendo viaggio, venne presso di lui; e, vedutolo, n'ebbe pietà. Ed accostatosi, fasciò le sue piaghe, versandovi sopra dell'olio, e del vino; poi lo mise sopra la sua propria cavalcatura, e lo menò nell'albergo, e si prese cura di lui. E il giorno appresso, partendo, trasse fuori due denari, e li diede all'oste, e gli disse: Prenditi cura di costui; e tutto ciò che spenderai di più, io tel renderò quando io ritornerò. Quale adunque di questi tre ti pare essere stato il prossimo di colui che si abbattè ne' ladroni? Ed egli disse: Colui che usò misericordia inverso lui. Gesù adunque gli disse: Va', e fa' tu il simigliante.
