Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 65: 10, 11, 12-13
10You visit the earth and water it, make it abundantly fertile. God’s stream is filled with water; you supply their grain. Thus do you prepare it:
11you drench its plowed furrows, and level its ridges. With showers you keep it soft, blessing its young sprouts.
12You adorn the year with your bounty; your paths drip with fruitful rain.
13The meadows of the wilderness also drip; the hills are robed with joy.
Alleluia
John 13: 34

Gospel
Matthew 5: 20-26
20I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Teaching About Anger.
21“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.’
22But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raqa,’ will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna.
23Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you,
24leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison.
26Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.
