Let my prayer come before you, Lord

Reading 1 and//www.usccb.org/bible/job/3and1 JB 3and1-3, 11-17, 20-23 Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.Job spoke out and saidandPerish the day on which I was born,the night when they said, The child is a boy!”Why did I not perish at birth,come forth from the womb and expire?Or why was I not buried away like an untimely birth,like babes that have never seen the light?Wherefore did the knees receive me?or why did I suck at the breasts?For then I should have lain down and been tranquilhad I slept, I should then have been at restWith kings and counselors of the earthwho built where now there are ruinsOr with princes who had goldand filled their houses with silver.There the wicked cease from troubling,there the weary are at rest.Why is light given to the toilers,and life to the bitter in spirit?They wait for death and it comes notthey search for it rather than for hidden treasures,Rejoice in it exultingly,and are glad when they reach the graveandThose whose path is hidden from them,and whom God has hemmed in!

Gospel and//www.usccb.org/bible/luke/9:51 LK 9:51-56 When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled,he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem,and he sent messengers ahead of him.On the way they entered a Samaritan villageto prepare for his reception there,but they would not welcome himbecause the destination of his journey was Jerusalem.When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heavento consume them?”Jesus turned and rebuked them,and they journeyed to another village.
