From the rising of the sun to its setting let the name of the Lord be praised. The Lord is high above all nations
and his glory above the heavens.® Who is like the Lord our God, that has his throne so high, yet humbles himself to behold the things of heaven and earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ashes,® To set them with princes, with the princes of his people. He gives the barren woman a place in the house and makes her a joyful mother of children.® Alleluia. Second Reading: 1 Timothy 2.1-7 Gospel: Luke 16.1-13
