Holy Gospel
1 Meanwhile, such a numerous crowd had gathered that they crushed one another. Then Jesus spoke to his disciples in this way,
“Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy. 2 Nothing is covered that will not be uncovered, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 Whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in daylight, and what you have whispered in hidden places, will be proclaimed from the housetops.
4 I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who put to death the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will tell you whom to fear: Fear the One who after killing you is able to throw you into hell. This one you must fear. 6 Don’t you get five sparrows for two pennies? Yet not one of them has been forgotten by God. 7 Even the hairs of your head have been numbered. So do not fear: are you not worth more than a flock of sparrows?

1 Let us consider Abraham, our father in the flesh. What has he found? 2 If Abraham attained righteousness because of his deeds, he could be proud. But he cannot be this before God. 3 Because Scripture says: Abraham believed God who took it into account and held him to be a just man.
4 Now, when someone does a work, salary is not given as a favor, but as a debt that is paid. 5 Here, on the contrary, someone who has no deeds to show but believes in Him who makes sinners righteous before him: such faith is taken into account and that person is held as righteous. 6 David congratulates in this way those who become righteous by the favor of God, and not by their actions: 7 Blessed are those whose sins are forgiven and whose offenses are forgotten; 8 blessed the one whose sin God does not take into account!
Responsorial Psalm:
Blessed is the one whose sin is forgiven,
whose iniquity is wiped away.
2 Blessed are those in whom the Lord sees no guilt
and in whose spirit is found no deceit.
5 Then I made known to you my sin
and uncovered before you my fault,
saying to myself,
“To the Lord I will now confess my wrong.”
And you, you forgave my sin,
you removed my guilt.
11 Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad,
you who are upright;
sing and shout for joy,
you who are clean of heart.
