1st Reading – Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13
Brothers and sisters:
1 I, as a prisoner in the Lord, I beg you to walk in a manner worthy of the vocation to which you have been called:
2 with all humility and meekness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
3 Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit within the bonds of peace.
4 One body and one Spirit: to this you have been called by the one hope of your calling:
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
7 Yet to each one of us there has been given grace according to the measure allotted by Christ.
11 And the same one granted that some would be Apostles, and some Prophets, yet truly others evangelists, and others pastors and teachers,
12 for the sake of the perfection of the saints, by the work of the ministry, in the edification of the body of Christ,
13 until we all meet in the unity of faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as a perfect man, in the measure of the age of the fullness of Christ.
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 19:2-3, 4-5
R. (5) Their message goes out through all the earth.
2 The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
3 Day pours out the word to day,
and night to night imparts knowledge.
R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
4 Not a word nor a discourse
whose voice is not heard;
5 Through all the earth their voice resounds,
and to the ends of the world, their message.
R. Their message goes out through all the earth.
Alleluia – See Te Deum
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
We praise you, O God,
we acclaim you as Lord;
the glorious company of Apostles praise you.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – Matthew 9:9-13
9 As Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.
10 While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came
and sat with Jesus and his disciples.
11 The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.
13 Go and learn the meaning of the words, I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
