Saturday Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary

First Reading

1 Kings 19:19-21

19So he departed from there, and found Eliʹsha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Eliʹjah passed by him and cast his mantle upon him.

20And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliʹjah, and said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?”

21And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Eliʹjah, and ministered to him.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 16:1-2, 5, 7-10

1Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge.

2I say to the LORD, “Thou art my Lord; I have no good apart from thee.”

5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot.

7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.

8I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure.

10For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit.

Gospel

Matthew 5:33-37

33“Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’

34But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

35or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.

37Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.
