First ReadingJoshua 24:14-29

From the Book of Joshua

14“Now therefore fear the Lord,and serve him in sincerity and in truth.Put away the godswhich your fathers served beyond the River, in Egypt;and serve the Lord.15If it seems evil to you to serve the Lord,choose today whom you will serve;whether the gods which your fathers servedthat were beyond the River,or the gods of the Amorites,in whose land you dwell;but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

16The people answered,“Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord,to serve other gods;17for it is the Lord our God who brought usand our fathers up out of the land of Egypt,from the house of bondage,and who did those great signs in our sight,and preserved us in all the way in which we went,and among all the peoples through the middle of whom we passed.18The Lord drove out from before us all the peoples,even the Amorites who lived in the land.Therefore we also will serve the Lord;for he is our God.”

19Joshua said to the people,“You can’t serve the Lord,for he is a holy God.He is a jealous God.He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.20If you forsake the Lord,and serve foreign gods,then he will turn and do you evil,and consume you, after he has done you good.”

21The people said to Joshua,“No, but we will serve the Lord.”22Joshua said to the people,“You are witnesses against yourselvesthat you have chosen the Lord yourselves, to serve him.”

They said, “We are witnesses.”

23“Now therefore put away the foreign godswhich are among you,and incline your heart to the Lord,the God of Israel.”

24The people said to Joshua,“We will serve the Lord our God,and we will listen to his voice.”

25So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day,and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.26Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God;and he took a great stone,and set it up there under the oakthat was by the sanctuary of the Lord.27Joshua said to all the people,“Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us,for it has heard all the Lord’s wordswhich he spoke to us.It shall be therefore a witness against you,lest you deny your God.”28So Joshua sent the people away,each to his own inheritance.

29After these things,Joshua the son of Nun,the servant of the Lord,died, being one hundred ten years old.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 16:1-2a and 5, 7-8, 11

1Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.2My soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord.Apart from you I have no good thing.”5The Lord assigned my portion and my cup.You made my lot secure.

7I will bless the Lord, who has given me counsel.Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.8I have set the Lord always before me.Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

11You will show me the path of life.In your presence is fullness of joy.In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

GospelMatthew 19:13-15

From the Gospel according to Matthew

13Then little children were brought to himthat he should lay his hands on them and pray;and the disciples rebuked them.14But Jesus said, “Allow the little children,and don’t forbid them to come to me;for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”15He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 31:8-11

Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua. Qui probátus est in illo, et perféctus est, erit illi glória ætérna: qui potuit tránsgredi, et non est transgréssus: fácere mala, et non fecit: ídeo stabilíta sunt bona illíus in Dómino, et eleemósynas illíus enarrábit omnis ecclésia sanctórum.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 31:8-11

Happy the man found without fault, who turns not aside after gain, nor puts his trust in money nor in treasures! Who is he, that we may praise him? For he has done wonders in his life. He has been tested by gold and come off safe, and this remains his glory forever; he could have sinned but did not, could have done evil but would not, so that his possessions are secure in the Lord, and the assembly of the Saints shall recount his alms.

It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
