Letture di oggi

Prima lettura

2 Corinthians 11:18, 21-30

Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast. To my shame, I speak as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also. Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the offspring of Abraham? So am I. Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself.) I am more so: in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, and in deaths often. Five times I received forty stripes minus one from the Jews. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep. I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers; in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness. Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily: anxiety for all the assemblies. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don't burn with indignation? If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7

My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let's exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The LORD's angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

Vangelo

Matthew 6:19-23

NON vi fate tesori in sulla terra, ove la tignuola e la ruggine guastano, e dove i ladri sconficcano e rubano. Anzi, fatevi tesori in cielo, ove nè tignuola, nè ruggine guasta; ed ove i ladri non sconficcano, e non rubano. Perciocchè, dove è il vostro tesoro, quivi eziandio sarà il vostro cuore. La lampana del corpo è l'occhio; se dunque l'occhio tuo è puro, tutto il tuo corpo sarà illuminato. Ma se l'occhio tuo è viziato, tutto il tuo corpo sarà tenebroso; se dunque il lume ch'è in te è tenebre, quante saranno le tenebre stesse?
