Mass readings

  1. First reading Proverbs 3:27-34

    27Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it. 28Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you. 29Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you. 30Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm. 31Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways. 32For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright. 33The LORD’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous. 34Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.

  2. Responsorial Psalm Psalms 15:2-3ab, 3cd-4ab, 5

    2He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart; 3he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man; 4in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change; 5he who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.

  3. Gospel acclamation Matthew 5:16

  4. Gospel Luke 8:16-18

    16“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light. 17For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
