Prima lettura

Exodus 32:15-24, 30-34

Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other. The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets. When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is the noise of war in the camp." He said, "It isn't the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear." As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses' anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain. He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it. Moses said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?" Aaron said, "Don't let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil. For they said to me, 'Make us gods, which shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him.' I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them take it off.' So they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf." On the next day, Moses said to the people, "You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin." Moses returned to the LORD, and said, "Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold. Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin-and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written." The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book. Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin."

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 106:19-20, 21-22, 23

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image. Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass. They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea. Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.

Vangelo

Matthew 13:31-35

EGLI propose loro un'altra parabola, dicendo: Il regno de' cieli è simile ad un granel di senape, il quale un uomo prende, e lo semina nel suo campo. Esso è bene il più piccolo di tutti i semi; ma quando è cresciuto è la maggiore di tutte l'erbe, e divien albero, talchè gli uccelli del cielo vengono, e si riparano ne' suoi rami. Egli disse loro un'altra parabola: Il regno de' cieli è simile al lievito, il quale una donna prende, e lo ripone dentro tre staia di farina, finchè tutta sia levitata. Tutte queste cose ragionò Gesù in parabole alle turbe; e non parlava loro senza parabola; acciocchè si adempiesse ciò che fu detto dal profeta: Io aprirò la mia bocca in parabole; io sgorgherò cose occulte fin dalla fondazione del mondo.
