First Reading: Ruth 1: 1,3-6, 14-16,22
Responsorial Psalm: 146: 5-6, 6-7, 8-9, 9-10
Holy Gospel: Matthew 22: 34-40
Holy Gospel:
34 When the Pharisees heard how Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. 35 One of them, a teacher of the Law, tried to test him with this question, 36 “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus answered, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and the most important of the commandments. 39 But after this there is another one very similar to it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 The whole Law and the Prophets are founded on these two commandments.”
First Reading:
1 There was a famine in the land during the time of the Judges, and a man from Bethlehem in Judah departed with his wife and two sons to sojourn in the country of Moab.
3 Naomi’s husband Elimelech died. She was left with her two sons, 4 who married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth.
After living in Moab for about ten years, 5 Mahlon and Chilion also died and Naomi was left bereft of husband and two sons. 6 Having heard that Yahweh had come to help his people by giving them food, Naomi prepared to return home.
14 Again they sobbed and wept. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her. 15 Naomi said, “Look, your sister-in-law returns to her people and her gods. You too must return. Go after her.”
16 Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you. For I will go where you go and stay where you stay. Your people will be my people and your god, my God.
22 Thus it was that Naomi returned from Moab with her Moabite daughter-in-law and arrived in Bethlehem as the barley harvest began.

Responsorial Psalm:
Praise the Lord, my soul!
5 Blessed are they whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God,
6 maker of heaven and earth,
the sea and all they contain.
The Lord is forever faithful;
7 he gives justice to the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free.
8 The Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord straightens the bent.
9 The Lord protects the stranger,
sustains the widow and the orphan.
8c The Lord loves the virtuous,
but he brings to ruin the way of the wicked.
10 The Lord will reign forever,
your God, O Zion,
from generation to generation. Alleluia!
