Gloria – Creed
First Reading
Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18
1And the LORD said to Moses,
2"Say to all the congregation of the people of Israel, You shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy.
17"You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason with your neighbor, lest you bear sin because of him.
18You shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 103:1-4, 8, 10, 12-13
1Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
3who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
4who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
8The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
10He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor requite us according to our iniquities.
12as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him.
Second Reading
1 Corinthians 3:16-23
16Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
17If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and that temple you are.
18Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
19For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness,"
20and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."
21So let no one boast of men. For all things are yours,
22whether Paul or Apol'los or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours;
23and you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
Gospel
Matthew 5:38-48
38"You have heard that it was said, `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
39But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;
40and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well;
41and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you.
43"You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
48You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
