Saint Dominic, Patron Saint of the Astronomers
First Reading: Deuteronomy 10:12-22
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20
Holy Gospel: Matthew 17:22-27
Holy Gospel:
22 While Jesus was in Galilee with the Twelve, he said to them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into human hands, 23 and they will kill him. But he will rise on the third day.” The Twelve were deeply grieved.
24 When they returned to Capernaum, the Temple tax collectors came to Peter and asked him, “Does your master pay the temple tax?” 25 He answered, “Certainly.”
Peter then entered the house, but immediately Jesus asked him, “What do you think, Simon? Who pay taxes or tributes to the kings of the earth: their sons or the other people?” 26 Peter replied, “The others.” And Jesus told him, “The sons, then, are tax-free. 27 But so as not to offend these people, go to the sea, throw in a hook and open the mouth of the first fish you catch. You will find a coin in it, take it and let it pay for you and for me.”
First Reading:
12 So now, Israel, what is it that Yahweh, your God, asks of you but to fear him and follow all his ways? Love him and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. 13 Observe the commandments of Yahweh and his laws which I command you today, for your good.
14 See: the heavens, those that are seen and those that are unseen, the earth and all that is in it, everything belongs to Yahweh, your God. 15 Nevertheless, it was on your fathers that Yahweh set his heart. He loved them, and after them, he chose their descendants – you – preferring you to all the peoples, as you can see this day.
16 Purify your hearts, then, and do not be defiant towards Yahweh because 17 Yahweh is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is the great God, the strong and terrible God. When he judges, he treats everyone equally; he does not let himself be bought by gifts. 18 He renders justice to the orphan and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him bread and clothing. 19 Love the stranger then, because you yourselves were strangers in the land of Egypt. 20 Fear Yahweh, your God, serve him, follow him and call on his name when you have to make an oath. 21 He is your pride and he is your God, who has done those amazing things for you. 22 When you went down to Egypt, your ancestors were no more than seventy persons, but now, Yahweh, your God, has made you as many as the stars of heaven.
Responsorial Psalm:
12 Exalt the Lord, O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion
13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates
and blesses your children within you.
14 He grants peace on your borders
and feeds you with the finest grain.
15 He sends his command to the earth
and swiftly runs his word.
19 It is he who tells Jacob his words,
his laws and decrees to Israel.
20 This he has not done for other nations,
so his laws remain unknown to them.
Alleluia!
