LITURGY OF THE WORD

1st READING ZEPHANIAH 2:3; 3:12-13

(Seek the Lord)

The Lord is to be found among a people who are humble and lowly. Those who are humble seek after God. They shall find repose in Him.

 

 RESPONSORIAL PSALM 146

(Bounty of the Lord)

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, the kingdom of

heaven is theirs!”

 

2nd READING 1 CORINTHIANS1:26-31

(Boast in the Lord)

Contrary to worldly standards, God chooses those who are weak, lowborn and despised. To these God has given his own Son, Jesus, for

sanctification and redemption.

 

 

 THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 5:1-12a

(A New Teaching)

Jesus says that the poor in spirit, the sorrowing, those thirsting for holiness, the merciful, the peacemakers, and those who suffer for holiness’ sake are “blessed” -their reward awaits them in heaven.
