First ReadingRomans 12:1-2, 9-13

From the Letter of Paul to the Romans

or 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

1Therefore I urge you,brothers, by the mercies of God,to present your bodies a living sacrifice,holy, acceptable to God,which is your spiritual service.2Don’t be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,so that you may prove what is the good,well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

verses 3–8 are not read9Let love be without hypocrisy.Abhor that which is evil.Cling to that which is good.10In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another;in honor prefer one another,11not lagging in diligence,fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,12rejoicing in hope,enduring in troubles,continuing steadfastly in prayer,13contributing to the needs of the saints,and given to hospitality.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9

2I will bless the Lord at all times.His praise will always be in my mouth.3My soul shall boast in the Lord.The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

4Oh magnify the Lord with me.Let’s exalt his name together.5I sought the Lord, and he answered me,and delivered me from all my fears.

6They looked to him, and were radiant.Their faces shall never be covered with shame.7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,and saved him out of all his troubles.

8The Lord’s angel encamps around those who fear him,and delivers them.9Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

GospelMatthew 8:18-27

From the Gospel according to Matthew

or Matthew 19:27-29

18Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him,he gave the order to depart to the other side.

19A scribe came and said to him,“Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

20Jesus said to him,“The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests,but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

21Another of his disciples said to him,“Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”

22But Jesus said to him,“Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

23When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.24Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea,so much that the boat was covered with the waves;but he was asleep.25The disciples came to him and woke him up,saying, “Save us, Lord!We are dying!”

26He said to them, “Why are you fearful,O you of little faith?”Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea,and there was a great calm.

27The men marveled, saying,“What kind of man is this,that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
