Reading 1 : HOS 14:2-10
Thus says the LORD: Israel, convert to the Lord your God. For you have been ruined by your own iniquity. Take these words with you and return to the Lord. And say to him, “Remove all iniquity and accept the good. And we will repay the calves of our lips. Assur will not save us; we will not ride on horses. Neither will we say any more, ‘The works of our hands are our gods,’ for those that are in you will have mercy on the orphan.” I will heal their contrition; I will love them spontaneously. For my wrath has been turned away from them. I will be like the dew; Israel will spring forth like the lily, and his root will spread out like that of the cedars of Lebanon. His branches will advance, and his glory will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance will be like that of the cedars of Lebanon. They will be converted, sitting in his shadow. They will live on wheat, and they will grow like a vine. His memorial will be like the wine of the cedars of Lebanon.
Ephraim will say, “What are idols to me anymore?” I will listen to him, and I will set him straight like a healthy spruce tree. Your fruit has been found by me.
Who is wise and will understand this? Who has understanding and will know these things? For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the just will walk in them, but truly, the traitors will fall in them.
Responsorial Psalm: PS 51:3-4, 8-9, 12-13, 14 AND 17
R. (17b) My mouth will declare your praise.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy. And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity. Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
R. My mouth will declare your praise.
For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me. Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
R. My mouth will declare your praise.
Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
R. My mouth will declare your praise.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
R. My mouth will declare your praise.
Alleluia: JN 16:13A; 14:26D
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide
you to all truth and remind you of all I told you.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew 10:16-23
Jesus said to his Apostles: "Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be as prudent as serpents and as simple as doves. But beware of men. For they will hand you over to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. And you shall be led before both rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they hand you over, do not choose to think about how or what to speak. For what to speak shall be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who will be speaking, but the Spirit of your Father, who will speak in you. And brother will hand over brother to death, and father will hand over son. And children will rise up against parents and bring about their deaths. And you will be hated by all for the sake of my name. But whoever will have persevered, even to the end, the same shall be saved. Now when they persecute you in one city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you will not have exhausted all the cities of Israel, before the Son of man returns."
