Läsning Hos 10:1–3, 7–8, 12
Israel var en frodig vinstock,
dignande av druvor.
Ju mer frukt han bar,
desto fler altaren byggde han.
Ju rikare hans land blev,
desto ståtligare stoder reste han.
Deras hjärtan var falska,
nu får de sona sin skuld :
Herren skall bryta ner deras altaren
och krossa deras stoder.
Nu måste de säga :
”Vi har ingen kung,
ty vi fruktade inte Herren.
Och kungen, vad kan han göra för oss ?”
Samarien går under,
dess kung är som ett spån på vattnet.
Ondskans offerplatser läggs öde
– denna Israels synd.
Törne och tistel skall växa på deras altaren,
och de skall säga till bergen : ”Dölj oss !”
och till höjderna : ”Fall över oss !”
Så er sådd i rättfärdighet,
skörda efter kärlekens lag,
bryt er ny mark.
Det är dags att vända sig till Herren,
för att han skall komma
och låta rättfärdighet regna över er.
Så lyder Herrens ord.
Responsoriepsalm Ps 105:2–7 (R. 4b)
R. Sök hans ansikte ständigt eller Halleluja.
Sjung och spela till Herrens ära,
förkunna alla hans under.
Var stolta över hans heliga namn,
må de som söker Herren glädja sig av hjärtat. R.
Fråga efter Herren och hans makt,
sök hans ansikte ständigt.
Tänk på de underbara gärningar han gjort,
på hans under och hans domar. R.
Ni Abrahams, hans tjänares, ätt,
ni Jakobs barn, det folk som han har utvalt.
Han är Herren, vår Gud.
Över hela jorden går hans domar. R.
Halleluja Mark 1:15
V. Tiden är inne, Guds rike är nära.
Omvänd er och tro på evangeliet.
Evangelium Matt 10:1–7
Vid den tiden kallade Jesus till sig sina tolv lärjungar och gav dem makt över orena andar, så att de kunde driva ut dem och bota alla slags sjukdomar och krämpor. Detta är namnen på de tolv apostlarna: först Simon, som kallas Petrus, vidare hans bror Andreas, Jakob, Sebedaios son, och hans bror Johannes, Filippos och Bartolomaios, Tomas och tullindrivaren Matteus, Jakob, Alfaios son, och Taddaios, Simon Kananaios och Judas Iskariot, han som förrådde honom.
Dessa tolv sände Jesus ut, och han befallde dem: »Ta inte vägen till hedningarna och gå inte in i någon samarisk stad. Gå i stället till de förlorade fåren i Israels folk. Förkunna på er väg att himmelriket är nära.«
Psalm 39
Urgent prayer of a sick person
Creation is made subject to futility . . . by him who subjected it, but it is not without hope (Romans 8:20).
I
I said: “I will be watchful of my ways *
for fear I should sin with my tongue.
I will put a curb on my lips *
when the wicked man stands before me.”
I was dumb, silent and still. *
His prosperity stirred my grief.
My heart was burning within me. *
At the thought of it, the fire blazed up
and my tongue burst into speech: *
“O Lord, you have shown me my end,
how short is the length of my days. *
Now I know how fleeting is my life.
You have given me a short span of days; *
my life is as nothing in your sight.
A mere breath, the man who stood so firm, *
a mere shadow, the man passing by,
a mere breath the riches he hoards, *
not knowing who will have them.”
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. We groan in pain as we await the redemption of our bodies.
Ant. 2 Hear and answer my prayer, O Lord; let me not weep in vain.
II
And now, Lord, what is there to wait for? *
In you rests all my hope.
Set me free from all my sins, *
do not make me the taunt of the fool.
I was silent, not opening my lips, *
because this was all your doing.
Take away your scourge from me. *
I am crushed by the blows of your hand.
You punish man’s sins and correct him; *
like the moth you devour all he treasures.
Mortal man is no more than a breath; *
O Lord, hear my prayer.
O Lord, turn your ear to my cry. *
Do not be deaf to my tears.
In your house I am a passing guest, *
a pilgrim, like all my fathers.
Look away that I may breathe again *
before I depart to be no more.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm Prayer
Through your Son you taught us, Father, not to be fearful of tomorrow but to commit our lives to your care. Do not withhold your Spirit from us but help us find a life of peace after these days of trouble.
Ant. Hear and answer my prayer, O Lord; let me not weep in vain.
Ant. 3 I have put all my trust in God’s never-failing mercy.
Psalm 52
Against a calumniator
If anyone would boast, let him boast in the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:31).
Why do you boast of your wickedness, *
you champion of evil,
planning ruin all day long, †
your tongue like a sharpened razor, *
you master of deceit?
You love evil more than good; *
lies more than truth.
You love the destructive word, *
you tongue of deceit.
For this God will destroy you *
and remove you for ever.
He will snatch you from your tent and uproot you *
from the land of the living.
The just shall see and fear. *
They shall laugh and say:
“So this is the man who refused *
to take God as his stronghold,
but trusted in the greatness of his wealth *
and grew powerful by his crimes.”
But I am like a growing olive tree *
in the house of God.
I trust in the goodness of God *
for ever and ever.
I will thank you for evermore; *
for this is your doing.
I will proclaim that your name is good, *
in the presence of your friends.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm Prayer
Father, you cut down the unfruitful branch for burning and prune the fertile to make it bear more fruit. Make us grow like laden olive trees in your domain, firmly rooted in the power and mercy of your Son, so that you may gather from us fruit worthy of eternal life.
Ant. I have put all my trust in God’s never-failing mercy.
I put my trust in the word of the Lord.
— All my hope is in him.
READINGS
FIRST READING
From the second book of Samuel
24:1-4, 10-18, 24b-25
The census of the people and the building of the altar
The Lord’s anger against Israel flared again, and he incited David against the Israelites by prompting him to number Israel and Judah. Accordingly the king said to Joab and the leaders of the army who were with him, “Tour all the tribes in Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba and register the people, that I may know their number.” But Joab said to the king: “May the Lord your God increase the number of people a hundredfold for your royal majesty to see it with his own eyes. But why does it please my lord the king to order a thing of this kind?” The king, however, overruled Joab and the leaders of the army, so they left the king’s presence in order to register the people of Israel.
Afterward, however, David regretted having numbered the people, and said to the Lord: “I have sinned grievously in what I have done. But now, Lord, forgive the guilt of your servant, for I have been very foolish.”
When David rose in the morning, the Lord had spoken to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying: “Go and say to David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I offer you three alternatives; choose one of them, and I will inflict it on you.’” Gad then went to David to inform him. He asked: “Do you want a three years’ famine to come upon your land, or to flee from your enemy three months while he pursues you, or to have a three days’ pestilence in your land? Now consider and decide what I must reply to him who sent me.” David answered Gad: “I am in very serious difficulty. Let us fall by the hand of God, for he is most merciful; but let me not fall by the hand of man.” Thus David chose the pestilence. Now it was the time of the wheat harvest when the plague broke out among the people.
The Lord then sent a pestilence over Israel from morning until the time appointed, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beer-sheba died. But when the angel stretched forth his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord regretted the calamity and said to the angel causing the destruction among the people, “Enough now! Stay your hand.” The angel of the Lord was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
When David saw the angel who was striking the people, he said to the Lord: “It is I who have sinned; it is I, the shepherd, who have done wrong. But these are sheep; what have they done? Punish me and my kindred.” On the same day Gad went to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty silver shekels. Then David built an altar there to the Lord, and offered holocausts and peace offerings. The Lord granted relief to the country, and the plague was checked in Israel.
RESPONSORY
1 Chronicles 21:15; 2 Samuel 24:17
Remember, O Lord, your covenant
and say to the destroying angel:
Enough! Now hold back your hand,
— lest you ravage the land and destroy all the people.
It was I who sinned;
I who did wrong;
but these sheep what have they done?
Lord, I beg you to turn your anger away from your people.
— Lest you ravage the land and destroy all the people.
SECOND READING
From the ancient document entitled “The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles”
(Nn. 9, 1—10, 6:14, 1-3: Funk 2, 19-22, 26)
The Eucharist
Celebrate the Eucharist as follows: Say over the cup: “we give you thanks, Father, for the holy vine of David, your servant, which you made known to us through Jesus your servant. To you be glory for ever.”
Over the broken bread say: “We give you thanks, Father, for the life and the knowledge which you have revealed to us through Jesus your servant. To you be glory for ever. As this broken bread scattered on the mountains was gathered and became one, so too, may your Church be gathered together from the ends of the earth into your kingdom. For glory and power are yours through Jesus Christ for ever.”
Do not let anyone eat or drink of your eucharist except those who have been baptized in the name of the Lord. For the statement of the Lord applies here also: Do not give to dogs what is holy.
When you finish the meal, offer thanks in this manner: “We thank you, holy Father, for your name which you enshrined in our hearts. We thank you for the knowledge and faith and immortality which you revealed to us through your servant Jesus. To you be glory for ever. Almighty ruler, you created all things for the sake of your name; you gave men food and drink to enjoy so that they might give you thanks. Now you have favored us through Jesus your servant with spiritual food and drink as well as with eternal life. Above all we thank you because you are mighty. To you be glory for ever.
“Remember, Lord, your Church and deliver her from all evil. Perfect her in your love; and, once she has been sanctified, gather her together from the four winds into the kingdom which you have prepared for her. For power and glory are yours for ever.
“May grace come and this world pass away! Hosanna to the God of David. If anyone is holy, let him come. If anyone is not, let him repent. Maranatha. Amen.”
On the Lord’s day, when you have been gathered together, break bread and celebrate the Eucharist. But first confess your sins so that your offering may be pure. If anyone has a quarrel with his neighbor, that person should not join you until he has been reconciled. Your sacrifice must not be defiled. In this regard, the Lord has said: In every place and time offer me a pure sacrifice. I am a great king, says the Lord, and my name is great among the nations.
RESPONSORY
1 Corinthians 10:16-17
The cup of blessing which we bless,
is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ?
— And the bread that we break,
is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
Because there is but one bread,
we though many are one body,
for we all partake of the one bread.
— And the bread that we break,
is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
CONCLUDING PRAYER
Let us pray.
Father,
through the obedience of Jesus,
your servant and your Son,
you raised a fallen world.
Free us from sin
and bring us the joy that lasts for ever.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
— Amen.
Bilsemester i Italien? Här är däckregeln som kan kosta dig 20 000 kronor
Blir det bilsemester i Italien i sommar? Då kan dina vinterdäck bli en dyr överraskning. En unik regel kan ge böter på upp till 20 000 kronor, och i värsta fall beslag av bilen. Så här kollar du att du inte betalar i onödan.
Fel bokstav på däcket kan kosta dig tusentals kronor i onödan.
Mellan 15 maj och 15 oktober gäller en unik italiensk regel: vinterdäck eller åretruntdäck med lägre hastighetsindex än det som anges i bilens registreringsbevis är förbjudna. Kontrollerna är stenhårda i sommar, varnar ADAC.
Böterna landar på mellan 430 och 1 730 euro, det kan bli så mycket som 20 000 svenska kronor. I värsta fall kan polisen beslagta bilen på plats.
Så slipper du betala i onödan
Hastighetsindexet är den sista bokstaven i koden på däckets sida, till exempel V:et i ”205/55 R16 91V”.
Jämför den bokstaven med registreringsbeviset innan du kör över gränsen. Är bokstaven lägre i alfabetet på vinterdäcken än vad pappren kräver, byt till sommardäck innan resan. Det räddar din bilsemester.
Bilistorganisationen M Sverige bekräftar att reglerna ofta missförstås. ”Vi ser varje år att många svenska bilresenärer blir överraskade av de italienska däckreglerna”, säger reserådgivaren Katja Runestam Prinzell i en pressrelease från tidigare i år.
Andra regler för husbilar
Regeln gäller personbilar och husbilar under 3,5 ton. Tyngre husbilar bedöms i stället efter belastningsindex, inte hastighetsindex – där är lägre vinterdäcksindex tillåtet även på sommaren, förutsatt att däcken klarar fordonets vikt.
Regeln finns bara i Italien
Prinzell påpekar också att regeln är unik för Italien. ”Den italienska sommarregeln om hastighetsindex gäller inte i Spanien”, säger hon.
Där krävs bara att däcken klarar den hastighet som faktiskt körs, utan datumgräns.
Men det finns annat som kan kosta
För den som är ute på bilsemester i Europa finns det andra dyra fällor väntar längs vägen.
I Tyskland kostar för kort avstånd till bilen framför över 400 euro i böter, plus en månads körförbud. Blinkar du med helljuset för att stressa bilen framför räknas det som ofredande och kan ge fläckat straffregister.
Och i Frankrike är öronsnäckor och hörlurar helt förbjudna bakom ratten. Bara bilens inbyggda bluetooth gäller.
Slutsatsen är enkel: en kontroll av registreringsbeviset innan avfärd kan spara både pengar och en stoppad semester.
