First Reading - Jer 18:1-6
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
2 “Rise up and descend into the house of the potter, and there you will hear my words.”
3 And I descended into the house of the potter, and behold, he was making a work on the wheel.
4 And the vessel, which he was making with his hands out of clay,
broke. And turning away, he made another vessel, for it had been
pleasing in his eyes to make it.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
6 “Am I not able to do with you, O house of Israel, just as this
potter has done, says the Lord? Behold, like clay in the hand of the
potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

Psalm - Ps 146:1b-6b
1b Of Haggai and Zachariah.
2 Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my
life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust
in the leaders,
3 in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.
4 His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,
6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

Gospel - Jn 11:19-27
19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so as to console them over their brother.
20 Therefore, Martha, when she heard that Jesus was arriving, went out to meet him. But Mary was sitting at home.
21 And then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 But even now, I know that whatever you will request from God, God will give to you.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother shall rise again.”
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he shall rise again, at the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her: “I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in me, even though he has died, he shall live.
26 And everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die for eternity. Do you believe this?”
27 She said to him: “Certainly, Lord. I have believed that you are
the Christ, the Son of the living God, who has come into this world.”
