Catholic Sunday Readings for July 2 2023, Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A
1st Reading – 2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16A
8 Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.
9 And she said to her husband: “I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.
10 Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.”
11 Then it happened that, on a certain day, arriving, he turned aside into the upper room, and he rested there.
14 Later Elisha asked, “Can something be done for her?” His servant Gehazi answered, “Yes! She has no son, and her husband is getting on in years.”
15 Elisha said, “Call her.” When the woman had been called and stood at the door,
16 Elisha promised, “At this time, and at this same hour, with life as a companion, you will have a son in your womb.”
Responsorial Psalm – Psalms 89:2-3, 16-17, 18-19
R. (2a) For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
2 The promises of the LORD I will sing forever,
through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
3 For you have said, “My kindness is established forever;”
in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.
R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
16 Blessed the people who know the joyful shout;
in the light of your countenance, O LORD, they walk.
17 At your name they rejoice all the day,
and through your justice they are exalted.
R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
18 You are the splendor of their strength,
and by your favor our horn is exalted.
19 For to the LORD belongs our shield,
and the Holy One of Israel, our king.
R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
2nd Reading – Romans 6:3-4, 8-11
3 Brothers and sisters: Are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.
8 If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.
9 We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
10 As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God.
11 Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.
Alleluia – 1 Peter 2:9
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
9 You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation;
announce the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel – Matthew 10:37-42
37 Jesus said to his apostles: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
38 and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 “Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.
41 Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”
