Reading 1
Beloved:
Remember
Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David:
such is
my Gospel, for which I am suffering,
even to
the point of chains, like a criminal.
But
the word of God is not chained.
Therefore,
I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen,
so that
they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus,
together
with eternal glory.
This
saying is trustworthy:
If
we have died with him
we shall
also live with him;
if we
persevere
we shall
also reign with him.
But
if we deny him
he will
deny us.
If
we are unfaithful
he
remains faithful,
for he
cannot deny himself.
Remind
people of these things
and
charge them before God to stop disputing about words.
This
serves no useful purpose since it harms those who listen.
Be
eager to present yourself as acceptable to God,
a workman
who causes no disgrace,
imparting the word of truth without deviation.
Responsorial Psalm
R.
(1) Teach me your ways, O Lord.
Your
ways, O LORD, make known to me;
teach me
your paths,
Guide
me in your truth and teach me,
for you
are God my savior.
R.
Teach me your ways, O Lord.
Good
and upright is the LORD;
thus he
shows sinners the way.
He
guides the humble to justice,
he
teaches the humble his way.
R.
Teach me your ways, O Lord.
All
the paths of the LORD are kindness and constancy
toward
those who keep his covenant and his decrees.
The
friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him,
and his covenant, for their instruction.
R.
Teach me your ways, O Lord.
Gospel
One
of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him,
“Which
is the first of all the commandments?”
Jesus
replied, “The first is this:
Hear,
O Israel!
The
Lord our God is Lord alone!
You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your mind,
and
with all your strength.
The
second is this:
You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.
There
is no other commandment greater than these.”
The
scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher.
You
are right in saying,
He
is One and there is no other than he.
And to
love him with all your heart,
with all your understanding,
with all your strength,
and
to love your neighbor as yourself
is worth
more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
And
when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding,
he said
to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”
And no one dared to ask him
any more questions.
