Reading 1 – Jeremiah 18.1-6
Word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
“Arise, and go down to the potter’s house,
and there I will cause you to hear my words.”
Then I went down to the potter’s house,
and behold, he was making a work on the wheels.
When the vessel that he made of the clay
was marred in the hand of the potter,
he made it again into another vessel,
as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Then the Lord’s word came to me, saying,
“House of Israel, can I not
do with you as this potter does? says the Lord.
Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand,
so are you in my hand, house of Israel.”
Responsorial – Psalm 146.1b-2, 3-4, 5-6ab Resp. 5a
R. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help.
or R. Alleluia.
Praise the Lord, O my soul.
While I live, I will praise the Lord.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
R. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help.
or R. Alleluia.
Put not your trust in princes,
In a son of man in whom there is no help.
His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth.
On that very day, his thoughts perish.
R. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help.
or R. Alleluia.
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the Lord, his God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea and all it contains.
R. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help.
or R. Alleluia.
Gospel – Matthew 13.47-53
Jesus said to the disciples:
“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a net
that was cast into the sea
and gathered some fish of every kind,
which, when it was filled,
they drew up on the beach.
They sat down
and gathered the good into containers,
but the bad they threw away.
So will it be at the end of the world.
The angels will come
and separate the wicked from the righteous,
and will cast them into the furnace of fire.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth there.”
Jesus said to them,
“Have you understood all these things?”
They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
He said to them, “Therefore every scribe
who has been made a disciple
in the Kingdom of Heaven
is like a human who heads up a house,
who brings out of their pantry both new and old.”
When Jesus had finished these parables,
he departed from there.
