Holy Gospel

36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

37 Don’t be a judge of others and you will not be judged; do not condemn and you will not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven; 38 give and it will be given to you, and you will receive in your sack good measure, pressed down, full and running over. For the measure you give will be the measure you receive back.”


First Reading

4 I prayed to Yahweh, my God, and made this confession: “Lord God, great and to be feared, you keep your Covenant and love for those who love you and observe your commandments. 5 We have sinned, we have not been just, we have been rebels, and have turned away from your commandments and laws. 6 We have not listened to your servants, the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, leaders, fathers and to all the people of the land.

7 Lord, justice is yours, but ours is a face full of shame, as it is to this day – we, the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the whole of Israel, near and far away, in all the lands where you have dispersed us because of the infidelity we have committed against you. 8 Ours is the  shame, O Lord for we, our kings,  princes, fathers, have sinned against you. 9 We hope for pardon and mercy from the Lord, because we have rebelled against him. 10 We have not listened to the voice of Yahweh, our God, or followed the laws which he has given us through his servants, the prophets.


Responsorial Psalm

8 Do not remember against us the sins of our fathers.

Let your compassion hurry to us, for we have been brought very low.

9 Help us, God, our savior, for the glory of your name; forgive us for the sake of your name.

11 Listen to the groans of the prisoners; by the strength of your arm, deliver those doomed to die.

13 Then we, your people, the flock of your pasture, will thank you forever. We will recount your praise from generation to generation.
