Reading 1: 1 Kgs 18:41-46
And Elijah said to Ahab, “Ascend; eat and drink. For there is the sound of an abundance of rain.” Ahab ascended, so that he might eat and drink. But Elijah ascended to the top of Carmel, and bending down to the ground, he placed his face between his knees. And he said to his servant, “Ascend, and gaze out toward the sea.” And when he had ascended, and had contemplated, he said, “There is nothing.” And again, he said to him, “Return seven times.” And at the seventh time, behold, a little cloud ascended from the sea like the footstep of a man. And he said, “Ascend, and say to Ahab, ‘Yoke your chariot, and descend; otherwise, the rain may prevent you.’” And as he was turning himself this way and that, behold, the heavens were darkened, and there were clouds and wind, and a great rainstorm occurred. And so Ahab, going up, went away to Jezreel. And the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah. And cinching his waist, he ran before Ahab, until he arrived at Jezreel.
Responsorial Psalm: Ps 65:10, 11, 12-13
R. (2a) It is right to praise you in Zion, O God.
You have visited the earth, and have plentifully watered it; you have many ways enriched it. The river of God is filled with water, you have prepared their food: for so is its preparation.
R. It is right to praise you in Zion, O God.
Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
R. It is right to praise you in Zion, O God.
You shall bless the crown of the year of your goodness: and your fields shall be filled with plenty. The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: and the hills shall be girded about with joy.
R. It is right to praise you in Zion, O God.
Alleluia: Jn 13:34
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I give you a new commandment:
love one another as I have loved you.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew 5:20-26
Jesus said to his disciples: For I say to you, that unless your justice surpasses that of the scribes and the Pharisees you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not murder; whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever calls his brother, ‘Idiot,’ shall be liable to the council. Then, whoever calls him, ‘Worthless,’ shall be liable to the fires of Hell. Therefore, if you offer your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there, before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and then you may approach and offer your gift. Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are still on the way with him, lest perhaps the adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you will be thrown in prison. Amen I say to you, that you shall not go forth from there, until you have repaid the last quarter.
