FIRST READING
The First reading is from the book of
Ecclesiastes.
Vanity of vanities, the Preacher says.
Vanity of vanities. All is vanity!
For so it is that a man who has
laboured wisely, skilfully and
successfully must leave what is his
own to someone who has not toiled
for it at all. This, too, is vanity and
great injustice; for what does he
gain for all the toil and strain that he
has undergone under the sun? What
of all his laborious days, his cares of
office, his restless nights? This, too,
is vanity.
This is the word of the Lord.
Eccl. 1
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
O Lord, you have been our refuge
from one generation to the next.
You turn men back to dust
and say: ‘Go back, sons of men.’
To your eyes a thousand years
are like yesterday, come and gone,
no more than a watch in the night.
R/
You sweep men away like a dream,
like the grass which springs up
in the morning.
In the morning it springs up
and flowers:
by evening it withers and fades. R/
Make us know the shortness
of our life
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Lord, relent! Is your anger for ever?
Show pity to your servants. R/
In the morning,
fill us with your love;
we shall exult and rejoice
all our days.
Let the favour of the Lord
be upon us:
give success to the work
of our hands. R/

when Christ is revealed – and he is
your life – you too will be revealed
in all your glory with him.
That is why you must kill everything
in you that belongs only to earthly
life: fornication, impurity, guilty
passion, evil desires and especially
greed, which is the same thing as
worshipping a false god; and never
tell each other lies. You have
stripped off your old behaviour with
your old self, and you have put on a
new self which will progress towards
true knowledge the more it is
renewed in the image of its creator;
and in that image there is no room
for distinction between Greek and
Jew, between the circumcised or the
uncircumcised, or between
barbarian and Scythian, slave and
free man. There is only Christ: he is
everything and he is in everything.
This is the word of the Lord.
Col 3
GOSPEL
A reading from the Holy Gospel
according to St Luke.
Someone in the crowd said to him,
‘Teacher, tell my brother to divide
the family inheritance with me.’ But
he said to him, ‘Friend, who set me
to be a judge or arbitrator over you?’
And he said to them, ‘Take care! Be
on your guard against all kinds of
greed; for one’s life does not consist
in the abundance of possessions.’
Then he told them a parable: ‘The
land of a rich man produced
abundantly. And he thought to
himself, “What should I do, for I
have no place to store my crops?”
Then he said, “I will do this: I will
