Monday of the Fifteenth week in Ordinary Time

Monday of the Fifteenth week in Ordinary Time

1. Reading

Book of Isaiah

1,10-17.

]Hear the word of the LORD, princes of Sodom! Listen to the instruction of our God, people of Gomorrah!
]What care I for the number of your sacrifices? says the LORD. I have had enough of whole-burnt rams and fat of fatlings; In the blood of calves, lambs and goats I find no pleasure.
]When you come in to visit me, who asks these things of you?
]Trample my courts no more! Bring no more worthless offerings; your incense is loathsome to me. New moon and sabbath, calling of assemblies, octaves with wickedness: these I cannot bear.
]Your new moons and festivals I detest; they weigh me down, I tire of the load.
]When you spread out your hands, I close my eyes to you; Though you pray the more, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood!
]Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes; cease doing evil;
]learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan's plea, defend the widow.

Psalm

Psalms

50(49),8-9.16bc-17.21.23.

]"Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you,
for your burnt offerings are before me always.
]I take from your house no bullock,
no goats out of your fold."
]"Why do you recite my statutes,
]and profess my covenant with your mouth,
]Though you hate discipline
and cast my words behind you?"
]"When you do these things, shall I be deaf to it?
Or do you think that I am like yourself?
I will correct you by drawing them up before your eyes.  
]He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies me;
and to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God.”

Gospel

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

10,34-42.11,1.

]Jesus said to his Apostles: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword.
]For I have come to set a man 'against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
]and one's enemies will be those of his household.'
]Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
]and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
]Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
]Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.
]Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man's reward.
]And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple--amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward."
]When Jesus finished giving these commands to his twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.
