FIRST
READING: Deuteronomy
31: 1 - 8
1
And Moses went, and spoke all these words to all Israel,
2
And he said to them: I am this day a hundred and twenty years old, I
can no longer go out and come in, especially as the Lord also hath
said to me: O Thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.
3
The Lord thy God then will pass over before thee: he will destroy all
these nations in thy sight, and thou shalt possess them: and this
Josue shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.
4
And the Lord shall do to them as he did to Sehon and Og the kings of
the Amorrhites, and to their land, and shall destroy them.
5
Therefore when the Lord shall have delivered these also to you, you
shall do in like manner to them as I have commanded you,
6
Do manfully and be of good heart: fear not, nor be ye dismayed at
their sight: for the Lord thy God he himself is thy leader, and will
not leave thee nor forsake thee.
7
And Moses called Josue, and said to him before all Israel: Take
courage, and be valiant: for thou shalt bring this people into the
land which the Lord swore he would give to their fathers, and thou
shalt divide it by lot.
8
And the Lord who is your leader, he himself will be with thee: he
will not leave thee, nor forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
PSALM:
Deuteronomy 32:
3 - 4, 7 - 9, 12
3
Because I will invoke the name of the Lord: give ye magnificence to
our God.
4
The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is
faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right.
7
Remember the days of old, think upon every generation: ask thy
father, and he will declare to thee: thy elders and they will tell
thee.
8
When the Most High divided the nations: when he separated the sons of
Adam, he appointed the bounds of people according to the number of
the children of Israel.
9
But the Lord's portion is his people: Jacob the lot of his
inheritance.
12
The Lord alone was his leader: and there was no strange god with him.
GOSPEL:
Matthew 18:
1 - 5, 10, 12 - 14
1
At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou
is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?
2
And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of
them,
3
And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as
little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is
the greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5
And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth
me.
10
See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you,
that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is
in heaven.
12
What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them
should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains,
and go to seek that which is gone astray?
13
And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more
for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.
14
Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one
of these little ones should perish.
