LITURGY OF THE WORD

1st READING SIRACH 15:15-20

(Freedom to do Good)

God is all-knowing, always aware of everything that we do. All persons are

free to choose to do God’s will, for God uses no force.

 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 119

(Following God’s Law)

“Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord.”

 

2nd READING 1 CORINTHIANS 2:6-10

(God’s Wisdom)

Out of wisdom that is beyond our imagination, God has revealed the Divinity through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit knows the inner workings of God.

 

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 5:17-37

(Holiness)

God revealed the divine law to the Israelites, and Jesus came to bring it to perfection. Those who obey God’s laws will become great in the Kingdom of God. Jesus explains the laws of God.
