Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) Virgin and Martyr
First Reading: Deuteronomy 31:1-8
Responsorial Psalm: Deuteronomy 32:3-4, 7, 8, 9, 12
Holy Gospel: Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14
Holy Gospel:
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 Then Jesus called a little child, set the child in the midst of the disciples, 3 and said, “I assure you that unless you change and become like little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever becomes lowly like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, 5 and whoever receives such a child in my name receives me.
10 See that you do not despise any of these little ones, for I tell you: their angels in heaven continually see the face of my heavenly Father.
12 What do you think of this? If someone has a hundred sheep and one of them strays, won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside, and go to look for the stray one? 13 And I tell you: when he finally finds it, he is more pleased about it than about the ninety-nine that did not get lost. 14 It is the same with your Father in heaven: there they don’t want even one of these little ones to be lost.
First Reading:
1 When Moses finished telling all Israel these words, he said, 2 “I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I can no longer deal with anything – Remember that Yahweh told me that I shall not cross the Jordan River. 3 Now Joshua shall be at your head, as Yahweh has said. He, your God, will go before you to destroy these nations before you, and you will drive them away.
4 Yahweh shall deal with these cities as he dealt with Sihon and Og, the Amorite kings, and their land, which he destroyed. 5 So when he has given these nations over to you, you shall do the same, according to what I have commanded you.
6 Be valiant and strong, do not fear or tremble before them for Yahweh, your God, is with you; he will not leave you or abandon you.”
7 After this, Moses called Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel: “Be valiant and strong, you shall go with this people into the land which Yahweh swore to their ancestors he would give them and you shall give it to them as their possession. 8 Yahweh shall go before you. He shall be with you; he shall not leave you or abandon you. Do not fear, then, or be discouraged.”
Responsorial Psalm:
3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord and declare the greatness of our God.
4 He is the Rock,
and perfect are all his works,
just are all his ways.
A faithful God he is,
upright and just and unerring.
7 Recall the days of old,
think of the years gone by;
your father will teach you about them,
your elders will enlighten you.
8 When the Most High divided humankind and gave the nations their inheritance,
he set up boundaries for the peoples
after the number of the sons of God.
9 But the Lord keeps for himself his portion
Jacob, his chosen one.
12 the Lord alone led them,
without the aid of a foreign god.
