Saturday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time

Thus says the LORD:
Let the nations bestir themselves and come up
to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
For there will I sit in judgment
upon all the neighboring nations.

   for the harvest is ripe;
Come and tread,
   for the wine press is full;
The vats overflow,
   for great is their malice.
Crowd upon crowd
   in the valley of decision;

Reading I Jl 1:13-15; 2:1-2

Gird yourselves and weep, O priests!

Proclaim a fast,

Gather the elders,
   all who dwell in the land,
Into the house of the LORD, your God,
   and cry to the LORD!

   in awe of the LORD of hosts?
Rather must we call the proud blessed;
