Prima lettura

Joshua 24:1-13

Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. Joshua said to all the people, "The LORD, the God of Israel, says, 'Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor. They served other gods. I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his offspring, and gave him Isaac. I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it. Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. " 'I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea. The Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to the Red Sea. When they cried out to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. You lived in the wilderness many days. " 'I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand. You possessed their land, and I destroyed them from before you. Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you, but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand. " 'You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho. The men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand. I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow. I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you didn't build, and you live in them. You eat of vineyards and olive groves which you didn't plant.'

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 136:1-3, 16-18, 21-22 and 24

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods, for his loving kindness endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his loving kindness endures forever; to him who led his people through the wilderness, for his loving kindness endures forever; to him who struck great kings, for his loving kindness endures forever; and killed mighty kings, for his loving kindness endures forever; and gave their land as an inheritance, for his loving kindness endures forever; even a heritage to Israel his servant, for his loving kindness endures forever; and has delivered us from our adversaries, for his loving kindness endures forever;

Vangelo

Matthew 19:3-12

E i Farisei si accostarono a lui, tentandolo, e dicendogli: È egli lecito all'uomo di mandar via la sua moglie per qualunque cagione? Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Non avete voi letto che Colui, che da principio fece ogni cosa, fece gli uomini maschio e femmina? E disse: Perciò, l'uomo lascerà il padre e la madre, e si congiungerà con la sua moglie, e i due diverranno una stessa carne. Talchè, non son più due, anzi una stessa carne; ciò dunque che Iddio ha congiunto l'uomo nol separi. Essi gli dissero: Perchè dunque comandò Mosè che si desse la scritta del divorzio, e che così si mandasse via la moglie? Egli disse loro: Ben vi permise Mosè, per la durezza de' vostri cuori, di mandar via le vostre mogli; ma da principio non era così. Or io vi dico che chiunque manda via la sua moglie, salvochè per cagion di fornicazione, e ne sposa un'altra, commette adulterio; ed altresì chi sposa colei che è mandata via commette adulterio. I suoi discepoli gli dissero: Se così sta l'affare dell'uomo con la moglie, non è spediente maritarsi. Ma egli disse loro: Non tutti son capaci di questa cosa che voi dite, ma sol coloro a cui è dato. Perciocchè vi son degli eunuchi, i quali son nati così dal seno della madre; e vi son degli eunuchi, i quali sono stati fatti eunuchi dagli uomini; e vi son degli eunuchi, i quali si son fatti eunuchi loro stessi per lo regno de' cieli. Chi può esser capace di queste cose, sialo.
