Daily Mass Readings for September 29, 2024: Gospel — Mc 9, 38-43. 45. 47-48

2 ⁵ And the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to them, and he took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but did not do so again. 2 ⁶ But two men remained in the camp; one’s name was Eldad, and the other’s name was Medad. And the Spirit rested on them. (Now they were among those in the registration, but had not gone to the tabernacle.) So they prophesied in the camp. 2 ⁷ And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp!” 2 ⁸ Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his choice young men, said, “My lord Moses, stop them!” 2 ⁹ Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for me? I wish that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!”

¹ Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you. ² Your riches have rotted and your clothing has become moth-eaten. ³ Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure! ⁴ Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. ⁵ You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. ⁶ You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you.
