Monday of the Fourth week of Lent

Monday of the Fourth week of Lent

1. Reading

Book of Isaiah

65,17-21.

]Thus says the LORD: Lo, I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; The things of the past shall not be remembered or come to mind.
]Instead, there shall always be rejoicing and happiness in what I create; For I create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight;
]I will rejoice in Jerusalem and exult in my people. No longer shall the sound of weeping be heard there, or the sound of crying;
]No longer shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not round out his full lifetime; He dies a mere youth who reaches but a hundred years, and he who fails of a hundred shall be thought accursed.
]They shall live in the houses they build, and eat the fruit of the vineyards they plant.

Psalm

Psalms

30(29),2.4.5-6.11-12a.13b.

]I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear
and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
]O LORD, you brought me up from the nether world;
you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.
]Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
]For his anger lasts but a moment;
a lifetime, his good will.
]At nightfall, weeping enters in,
but with the dawn, rejoicing.
]Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
O LORD, be my helper.”
]You changed my mourning into dancing;
O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John

4,43-54.

]At that time Jesus left for Galilee.
]For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place.
]When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, since they had seen all he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves had gone to the feast.
]Then he returned to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. Now there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum.
]When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near death.
]Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe."
]The royal official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
]Jesus said to him, "You may go; your son will live." The man believed what Jesus said to him and left.
]While he was on his way back, his slaves met him and told him that his boy would live.
]He asked them when he began to recover. They told him, "The fever left him yesterday, about one in the afternoon."
]The father realized that just at that time Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live," and he and his whole household came to believe.
](Now) this was the second sign Jesus did when he came to Galilee from Judea.
