Incline your ear to me and hear my word

Reading 1 and//www.usccb.org/bible/job/1and6 JB 1and6-22 One day, when the angels of God came to present themselves before the LORD,Satan also came among them.And the LORD said to Satan, Whence do you come?”Then Satan answered the LORD and said, From roaming the earth and patrolling it.”And the LORD said to Satan, Have you noticed my servant Job,and that there is no one on earth like him,blameless and upright, fearing God and avoiding evil?”But Satan answered the LORD and said, Is it for nothing that Job is God-fearing?Have you not surrounded him and his familyand all that he has with your protection?You have blessed the work of his hands,and his livestock are spread over the land.But now put forth your hand and touch anything that he has,and surely he will blaspheme you to your face.”And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your poweronly do not lay a hand upon his person.”So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.And so one day, while his sons and his daughterswere eating and drinking winein the house of their eldest brother,a messenger came to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing and the asses grazing beside them,and the Sabeans carried them off in a raid.They put the herdsmen to the sword,and I alone have escaped to tell you.”While he was yet speaking, another came and said, Lightning has fallen from heavenand struck the sheep and their shepherds and consumed themand I alone have escaped to tell you.”While he was yet speaking, another messenger came and said, The Chaldeans formed three columns,seized the camels, carried them off,and put those tending them to the sword,and I alone have escaped to tell you.”While he was yet speaking, another came and said, Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking winein the house of their eldest brother,when suddenly a great wind came across the desertand smote the four corners of the house.It fell upon the young people and they are deadand I alone have escaped to tell you.”Then Job began to tear his cloak and cut off his hair.He cast himself prostrate upon the ground, and said, Naked I came forth from my mother’s womb,and naked shall I go back again.The LORD gave and the LORD has taken awayblessed be the name of the LORD!”In all this Job did not sin,nor did he say anything disrespectful of God.

Gospel and//www.usccb.org/bible/luke/9:46 LK 9:46-50 An argument arose among the disciplesabout which of them was the greatest.Jesus realized the intention of their hearts and took a childand placed it by his side and said to them, Whoever receives this child in my name receives me,and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.For the one who is least among all of youis the one who is the greatest.”Then John said in reply, Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your nameand we tried to prevent himbecause he does not follow in our company.”Jesus said to him, Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you.”
