First Reading
Genesis 2:4-9, 15
4These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
6but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground—
7then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
15The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 90:2-5, 12-14, 16
2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God.
3Thou turnest man back to the dust, and sayest, “Turn back, O children of men!”
4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.
5Thou dost sweep men away; they are like a dream, like grass which is renewed in the morning:
12So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
13Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on thy servants!
14Satisfy us in the morning with thy steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
16Let thy work be manifest to thy servants, and thy glorious power to their children.
Gospel
Matthew 6:31-34
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.
