Reading 1 – Leviticus 19.1-2, 11-18

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them,
‘You shall be holy;
for I, the Lord your God, am holy.”

“You shall not steal.
You shall not lie.
You shall not deceive one another.
You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God.
I am the Lord.”

“You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him.
The wages of a hired servant
shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
You shall not curse the deaf,
nor put a stumbling block in front of the blind;
but you shall fear your God.
I am the Lord.”

“You shall do no injustice in judging.
You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great;
but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.
You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people.
You shall not stand by while the blood of your neighbor is threatened.
I am the Lord.”

“You shall not hate your brother in your heart.
You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
You shall not take vengeance,
nor bear any grudge against the children of your people;
but you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
I am the Lord.”

Responsorial – Psalm 19.8, 9, 10, 15 Resp. John 6:63b

R. Your words, O Lord, are Spirit and life.

The law of the Lord is perfect,
restoring the soul.
The covenant of the Lord is sure,
making the simple wise.

R. Your words, O Lord, are Spirit and life.

The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart.
The command of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes.

R. Your words, O Lord, are Spirit and life.

The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the Lord are true,
and righteous altogether.

R. Your words, O Lord, are Spirit and life.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock, and my redeemer.

R. Your words, O Lord, are Spirit and life.

Gospel – Matthew 25.31-46

Jesus said to his disciples,
“When the Son of Human comes in his glory,
and all the holy angels with him,
then he will sit upon the throne of his glory.
Before him shall be gathered all the Gentiles,
and he will separate them, one from another,
as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats.
He will make the sheep stand at his right hand
and the goats at his left.

Then the King will say to those on his right hand,
‘Come, blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was an hungry, and you gave me to eat.
I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink.
I was a stranger and you brought me in.
I was naked, and you clothed me.
I was sick, and you visited me.
I was in prison, and you came to me.’

Then the righteous will answer him, saying,
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you?
Or thirsty, and gave you drink?
When did we see you a stranger, and brought you in?
Or naked, and clothed you?
When did we see you sick, or in prison, and came to you?’

And the King shall answer and say to them,
‘Amen, I say unto you,
inasmuch as you have done it
for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine,
you have done it for me.’

Then he will say also to those at his left hand,
‘Depart from me, you cursed,
into the everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was an hungry, and you did not give me to eat.
I was thirsty, and you did not give me to drink.
I was a stranger and you did not bring me in.
I was naked, and you did not clothe me.
I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

Then they will also answer him, saying,
‘Lord, when did we see you
hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison,
and did not minister to you?’
Then he will answer them, saying,
‘Amen, I say unto you,
inasmuch as you did it not for one of the least of these,
you did not do it for me.’

And they will go away to everlasting punishment,
but the righteous to life eternal.”

“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them,
‘You shall be holy; for I, the Lord your God, am holy.”

“You shall not hate your brother in your heart.
You shall surely rebuke your neighbor,

but you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
I am the Lord.”

Responsorial Psalm PS 103:1-2, 3-4, 8, 10, 12-13

R. The Lord is merciful and gracious.

Praise The Lord, my soul!
All that is within me, praise his holy name!
Praise The Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits.

R. The Lord is merciful and gracious.

He forgives all your sins;
he heals all your diseases;
he redeems your life from destruction;
he crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies.

R. The Lord is merciful and gracious.

Merciful and gracious is the LORD,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
nor repaid us according to our guilt.

R. The Lord is merciful and gracious.

As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Like a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

R. The Lord is merciful and gracious.

Reading 2 – 1 Corinthians 3.16-23

Brothers and sisters:
Do you not know that you are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you ?
if anyone destroys the temple of God,
God will destroy them.
For holy is the temple of God, which you are.

Let no one deceive themself.
If anyone among you thinks that they are wise in this world,
let them become a fool, that they may become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
For it is written,
“He has caught the wise in their cleverness.”
And again,
“The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

Therefore let no one boast in humans. For all things are yours,
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kephas, or the world, or life, or death,
or things present, or things to come.
All are yours, and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

Gospel – Matthew 5.38-48

Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said,
‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil;
but whoever strikes you on your right cheek,
turn to them the other also.
If anyone sues you to take away your coat,
let them have your cloak also.
Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with them two.
Give to the one who asks you,
and do not turn away the one who desires to borrow from you.

“You have heard that it was said,
‘You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.’
But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you,
do good to those who hate you,
and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven.
For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good,
and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?
Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
If you only greet your brothers and sisters,
what more do you do than others?
Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
