Genesis 12:1-9
1Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.
2And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
3I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves.”
4So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5And Abram took Sarʹai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions which they had gathered, and the persons that they had gotten in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan,
6Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7Then the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
8Thence he removed to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.
9And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 33:12-13, 18-20, 22
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13The LORD looks down from heaven, he sees all the sons of men;
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19that he may deliver their soul from death, and keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and shield.
22Let thy steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
Gospel
Matthew 7:1-5
1“Judge not, that you be not judged.
2For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get.
3Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?
5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

1 Peter 4:12-19
12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal which comes upon you to prove you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13But rejoice in so far as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
14If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker;
16yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.
17For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
18And “If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the impious and sinner appear?”
19Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 126:1-6
1When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”
3The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.
4Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb!
5May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy!
6He that goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
Gospel
Matthew 10:34-39
34“Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36and a man’s foes will be those of his own household.
37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
38and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
39He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
