Today's Readings

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 15:2-3, 3-4, 5

² Whoever lives blamelessly, who acts uprightly, who speaks the truth from the heart,

³ who keeps the tongue under control, who does not wrong a comrade, who casts no discredit on a neighbour,

⁴ who looks with scorn on the vile, but honours those who fear Yahweh, who stands by an oath at any cost,

⁵ who asks no interest on loans, who takes no bribe to harm the innocent. No one who so acts can ever be shaken.

Gospel, Mt 7:6, 12-14

⁶ 'Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls in front of pigs, or they may trample them and then turn on you and tear you to pieces.

¹² 'So always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that is the Law and the Prophets.

¹³ 'Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and many take it;

¹⁴ but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
