1st book of Samuel
| 1 Sam 1,24-28. |
|---|
24 In those days Hannah brought Samuel with her, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and presented him at the temple of the LORD in Shiloh.
25 After the boy's father had sacrificed the young bull, Hannah, his mother, approached Eli
26 and said: "Pardon, my lord! As you live my lord, I am the woman who stood near you here, praying to the LORD.
27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my request.
28 Now I, in turn, give him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he shall be dedicated to the LORD." She left Samuel there.
1st book of Samuel
| 1 Sam 2,1.4-5.6-7.8abcd. |
|---|
1 My heart exults in the LORD,
my horn is exalted in my God.
I have swallowed up my enemies;
I rejoice in my victory.
4 The bows of the mighty are broken,
while the tottering gird on strength.
5 The well-fed hire themselves out for bread,
while the hungry batten on spoil.
The barren wife bears seven sons,
while the mother of many languishes.
6 The LORD puts to death and gives life;
He casts down to the nether world;
He raises up again.
7 The LORD makes poor and makes rich,
He humbles, he also exalts.
[[1_S 2,8a]]He raises the needy from the dust;
[[1_S 2,8b]]from the dung heap he lifts up the poor,
[[1_S 2,8c]]to seat them with nobles
[[1_S 2,8d]]and make a glorious throne their heritage.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke
| Luke 1,46-56. |
|---|
46 Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
47 my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
48 For he has looked with favor on his lowly servant;
from this day all generations will call me blessed.
49 The Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
50 He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
51 He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.
52 He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 He has come to the help of his servant Israel ,
remembering his promise of mercy,
55 The promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his descendants forever."
56 Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.
