Gloria – Creed
First Reading
Jeremiah 20:10-13
10For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! "Denounce him! Let us denounce him!" say all my familiar friends, watching for my fall. "Perhaps he will be deceived, then we can overcome him, and take our revenge on him."
11But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble, they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.
12O LORD of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance upon them, for to thee have I committed my cause.
13Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 69:8-10, 14, 17, 33-35
7For it is for thy sake that I have borne reproach, that shame has covered my face.
8I have become a stranger to my brethren, an alien to my mother's sons.
9For zeal for thy house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult thee have fallen on me.
13But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of thy steadfast love answer me. With thy faithful help
16Answer me, O LORD, for thy steadfast love is good; according to thy abundant mercy, turn to me.
32Let the oppressed see it and be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.
33For the LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his own that are in bonds.
34Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves therein.
Second Reading
Romans 5:12-15
12Therefore as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all men sinned --
13sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.
14Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.
15But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.
Gospel
Matthew 10:26-33
26"So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
27What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops.
28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will.
30But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven;
33but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
