First Reading
First Kings 19: 9a, 11-13a9a At the mountain of God, Horeb, Elias has come thither, he abode in a cave.
11 Then the Lord said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
12 And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
13a And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave.
