First Reading
Colossians 3:12-17
12Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience,
13forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
14And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as you teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
17And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 150:1-6
1Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament!
2Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his exceeding greatness!
3Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp!
4Praise him with timbrel and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!
5Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
6Let everything that breathes praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
Gospel
Luke 6:27-38
27“But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
29To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your cloak do not withhold your coat as well.
30Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again.
31And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.
32“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
34And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish.
36Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
37“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
38give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”
