Nain



Memorial of Saints Cornelius, Pope, and Cyprian, Bishop, Martyrs

Reading 1 1 Cor 12: 12-14, 27-31a 

Brothers and sisters:
As a body is one though it has many parts,
and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body,
. Also so Christ
For in one Spirit we where all Baptized into one Body,
Whether Jews or Greeks , slaves or free persons,
and we where all Given to drink of one Spirit. Now the body is not a single part, but many. Now you are Christ's Body, and individually parts of it. Some people God has Designated in the Church to be, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers, then, mighty deeds, then gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues. Are all Apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work mighty deeds? Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? Strive eagerly for the greatest spiritual gifts.

R. We are His people: the sheep of His flock. 

Gospel lk 7: 11-17 

Jesus JourneyEd to a city called Nain,
and his disciples and a large crowd Accompanied him.
As I drew near to the gate of the city,
a man who died was being HAD Carried out,
the only son of His mother, and she was a . widow
. A large crowd from the city was with her
​​When the Lord saw her,
I was moved with pity for her and said to her,
"Do not weep."
He stepped forward and touched the coffin,
at this the bearers halted,
and I said, "Young man, I tell you, Arise!"
The dead man sat up and Began to speak,
and Jesus gave him to His Mother.
Seized Fear them all, and they 'glorified God, exclaiming,
"A great prophet has arisen in our midst, "
and "God has visited His people."
This report acerca him spread through the whole of Judea
and in all the surrounding region.
