Saint Regina, Martyr
First Reading: Colossians 3:1-11
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 145:2-3, 10-11, 12-13
Holy Gospel: Luke 6:20-26
Holy Gospel:
20 Then looking at his disciples, Jesus said,
“Fortunate are you who are poor, the kingdom of God is yours.”
21 Fortunate are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.
Fortunate are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Fortunate are you when people hate you, when they reject you and insult you and number you among criminals, because of the Son of Man. 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for a great reward is kept for you in heaven. Remember that is how the ancestors of this people treated the prophets.
24 But alas for you who have wealth, for you have been comforted now.
25 Alas for you who are full, for you will go hungry.
Alas for you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Alas for you when people speak well of you, for that is how the ancestors of these people treated the false prophets.
First Reading:
1 So then, if you are risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on earthly things. 3 For you have died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, reveals himself, you also will be revealed with him in Glory.
5 Therefore, put to death what is earthly in your life, that is immorality, impurity, inordinate passions, wicked desires and greed which is a way of worshiping idols. 6 These are the things that arouse the wrath of God.
7 For a time you followed this way and lived in such disorders. 8 Well then, reject all that: anger, evil intentions, malice; and let no abusive words be heard from your lips.
Put on the new self
9 Do not lie to one another. You have been stripped of the old self and its way of thinking 10 to put on the new, which is being renewed and is to reach perfect knowledge and the likeness of its creator. 11 There is no room for distinction between Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, foreigner, slave or free, but Christ is all and in all.
Responsorial Psalm:
2 I will praise you day after day and exalt your name forever.
3 Great is the Lord, most worthy of praise; and his deeds are beyond measure.
10 All your works will give you thanks; all your saints, O Lord, will praise you.
11 They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your power, 12 that all may know of your mighty deeds, your reign and its glorious splendor.
13 Your reign is from age to age; your dominion endures from generation to generation.
