Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 45: 11-12, 14-15, 16-17
11III - Listen, my daughter, and understand; pay me careful heed. Forget your people and your father’s house,
12that the king might desire your beauty. He is your lord;
14All glorious is the king’s daughter as she enters, her raiment threaded with gold;
15In embroidered apparel she is led to the king. The maids of her train are presented to the king.
16They are led in with glad and joyous acclaim; they enter the palace of the king.
17IV - The throne of your fathers your sons will have; you shall make them princes through all the land.
Alleluia
Luke 6: 23ab
23Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.
Gospel
Luke 6: 20-26
20And raising his eyes toward his disciples he said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.
21Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh.
22Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.
23Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.
24But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.
25But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep.
26Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way. Love of Enemies.
