First Reading
Isaiah 49:14-15
14But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me.”
15“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 62:2-3, 6-9
1For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.
2He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly moved.
5For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.
6He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
8Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
Second Reading
1 Corinthians 4:1-5
1This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.
3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself.
4I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me.
5Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.
Gospel
Matthew 6:24-34
24“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
25“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life?
28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin;
29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith?
31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.
34“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.
