1 Corinthians 4:6-15

6I have applied all this to myself and Apolʹlos for your benefit, brethren, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.

7For who sees anything different in you? What have you that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?

8Already you are filled! Already you have become rich! Without us you have become kings! And would that you did reign, so that we might share the rule with you!

9For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men.

10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.

11To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are ill-clad and buffeted and homeless,

12and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;

13when slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become, and are now, as the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all things.

14I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

15For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 145:17-21

17The LORD is just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings.

18The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth.

19He fulfils the desire of all who fear him, he also hears their cry, and saves them.

20The LORD preserves all who love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.

21My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Gospel

Luke 6:1-5

1On a sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some ears of grain, rubbing them in their hands.

2But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?”

3And Jesus answered, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

4how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?”

5And he said to them, “The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.”

Isaiah 58:6-11

6“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?

7Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

8Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

9Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, Here I am. “If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,

10if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.

11And the LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your desire with good things, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalms 34:2-11

1I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad.

3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!

4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed.

6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

8O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him!

9O fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no want!

10The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

Matthew 25:31-46

31“When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

32Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,

33and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left.

34Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

35for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

37Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink?

38And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee?

39And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’

40And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’

41Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels;

42for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,

43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

44Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?’

45Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’

46And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Matthew 25:31-40
