Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B First Reading and Responsorial Psalm
THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — Year B
First Reading: Jonah 3:1-5, 10
A reading from the book of the prophet Jonah.
The word of Our God came to Jonah a second time: “Go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach to them the message that I will tell you.” So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh in obedience to the word of God. Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days just to cross. Jonah began his journey through the city; during the day’s journey, he preached this message: “Forty days more and Nineveh will be destroyed.” And the people of Nineveh believed in God. They proclaimed a fast, and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth. And seeing their deeds, that they turned from their wicked ways, God relented and did not afflict on them the threatened disaster.
The Word of God recorded in the book of the prophet Jonah.
