First Reading
Exodus 3:1-8, 13-15
1Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Mid'ian; and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
2And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and lo, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed.
3And Moses said, "I will turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
4When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here am I."
5Then he said, "Do not come near; put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."
6And he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
7Then the LORD said, "I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; I know their sufferings,
8and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites.
13Then Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, `The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, `What is his name?' what shall I say to them?"
14God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, `I AM has sent me to you.'"
15God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel, `The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you': this is my name for ever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 103:1-4, 6-8, 11
1Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
3who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
4who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
6The LORD works vindication and justice for all who are oppressed.
7He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.
8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
11For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
Second Reading
1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 10-12
1I want you to know, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
2and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
3and all ate the same supernatural food
4and all drank the same supernatural drink. For they drank from the supernatural Rock which followed them, and the Rock was Christ.
5Nevertheless with most of them God was not pleased; for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6Now these things are warnings for us, not to desire evil as they did.
10nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.
11Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come.
12Therefore let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.
Gospel
Luke 13:1-9
1There were some present at that very time who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered thus?
3I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
4Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Silo'am fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem?
5I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."
6And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
7And he said to the vinedresser, `Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?'
8And he answered him, `Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure.
9And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
