First Reading
Isaiah 58: 6-11
Thus says the LORD:
This is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound
unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke;
Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke;
Sharing your bread with the hungry,
sheltering the oppressed and the homeless;
Clothing the naked when you see them,
and not turning your back on your own.
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,
and your wound shall quickly be healed.
Your vindication shall go before you,
and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer,
you shall cry for help, and he will say: Here I am!
If you remove from your midst oppression,
false accusation and malicious speech;
If you bestow your bread on the hungry and satisfy the
afflicted; Then light shall rise for you in the darkness
and the gloom shall become for you like midday;
Then the LORD will guide you always
and give you plenty even on the parched land.
He will renew your strength,
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring whose water never fails.
Second Reading
Galatians 6: 14-18
Brothers and sisters:
May I never boast of anything but the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ! Through it, the world has been crucified to me
and I to the world.
It means nothing whether one is circumcised or not. All that
matters is that one is created anew.
Peace and mercy on all who follow this rule of life, and on
the Israel of God.
Henceforth, let no man trouble me, for I bear the brand
marks of Jesus in my body.
Brothers and sisters, may the favor of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with your spirit. Amen.
Gospel
Matthew 22: 34-40
30th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the
Sadducees,
they gathered together, and one of them,
a scholar of the law tested him by asking,
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”
He said to him,
“You shall love the Lord, your God,
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two
commandments.”
