Daily Readings - February 27, 2012 - Monday
First Reading: Leviticus 19: 1-2, 11-18
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 19: 8, 9, 10, 15
Holy Gospel: Matthew 25: 31-46
Holy Gospel:
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory with all his angels, he will sit on the throne of his Glory. 32 All the nations will be brought before him, and as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 so will he do with them, placing the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 The King will say to those on his right: ‘Come, blessed of my Father! Take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. 36 I was a stranger and you welcomed me into your house. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to see me.’
37 Then the good people will ask him: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you food; thirsty and give you drink, 38 or a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to see you?’ 40 The King will answer, ‘Truly, I say to you: whenever you did this to these little ones who are my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.’
41 Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go, cursed people, out of my sight into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels! 42 For I was hungry and you did not give me anything to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me into your house; I was naked and you did not clothe me; I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’
44 They, too, will ask: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, thirsty, naked or a stranger, sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 The King will answer them: ‘Truly, I say to you: whatever you did not do for one of these little ones, you did not do for me.’
46 And these will go into eternal punishment, but the just to eternal life.”
First Reading:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said, 2 “Speak to the entire assembly of the people of Israel and say to them: Be holy for I, Yahweh, your God, am holy.
11 Do not steal or lie or deceive one another. 12 Do not swear falsely by my name so as to profane the name of your God; I am Yahweh.
13 Do not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired man are not to remain with you all night until morning. 14 You shall not curse a deaf man nor put a stumbling block in the way of the blind; but you shall fear your God; I am Yahweh.
15 Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor nor bow to the great; you are to judge your neighbor fairly so as not to share in his guilt. 16 Do not go about as a slanderer of your people and do not seek the death of your neighbor; I am Yahweh.
17 Do not hate your brother in your heart; rebuke your neighbor frankly so as not to share in his guilt. 18 Do not seek revenge or nurture a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself; I am Yahweh.
Responsorial Psalm:
8 The law of the Lord is perfect:
it gives life to the soul.
The word of the Lord is trustworthy:
it gives wisdom to the simple.
9 The precepts of the Lord are right:
they give joy to the heart.
The commandments of the Lord are clear:
they enlighten the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is pure,
it endures forever;
the judgments of the Lord are true,
all of them just and right.
15 May the words of my mouth
and the meditations of my heart
find favor in your sight,
O Lord – my redeemer, my rock!
