1st Reading – 2 Corinthians 11:18, 21-30
Brothers and sisters:
18 Since so many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.
21 I speak according to disgrace, as if we had been weak in this regard. In this matter, (I speak in foolishness) if anyone dares, I dare also.
22 They are Hebrews; so am I. They are Israelites; so am I. They are the offspring of Abraham; so am I.
23 They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as if I were less wise); more so am I: with many more labors, with numerous imprisonments, with wounds beyond measure, with frequent mortifications.
24 On five occasions, I received forty stripes, less one, from the Jews.
25 Three times, I was beaten with rods. One time, I was stoned. Three times, I was shipwrecked. For a night and a day, I was in the depths of the sea.
26 I have made frequent journeys, through dangerous waters, in danger of robbers, in danger from my own nation, in danger from the Gentiles, in danger in the city, in danger in the wilderness, in danger in the sea, in danger from false brothers,
27 with hardships and difficulties, with much vigilance, in hunger and thirst, with frequent fasts, in cold and nakedness,
28 and, in addition to these things, which are external: there is my daily earnestness and solicitude for all the churches.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not being burned?
30 If it is necessary to glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weaknesses.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7
R. (see 18b) From all their distress God rescues the just.
2 I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall be ever in my mouth.
3 Let my soul glory in the LORD;
the lowly will hear me and be glad.
R. From all their distress God rescues the just.
4 Glorify the LORD with me,
let us together extol his name.
5 I sought the LORD, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
R. From all their distress God rescues the just.
6 Look to him that you may be radiant with joy,
and your faces may not blush with shame.
7 When the poor one called out, the LORD heard,
and from all his distress he saved him.
R. From all their distress God rescues the just.
Alleluia – Matthew 5:3
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit;
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – Matthew 6:19-23
Jesus said to his disciples:
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.
20 But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light;
23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.”
