Prima lettura

Judges 2:11-19

The children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD's sight, and served the Baals. They abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger. They abandoned the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth. The LORD's anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. Wherever they went out, the LORD's hand was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them; and they were very distressed. The LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them. Yet they didn't listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the LORD's commandments. They didn't do so. When the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved the LORD because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them. But when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn't cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways.

Salmo responsoriale

Psalm 106:34-35, 36-37, 39-40, 43ab and 44

They didn't destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them, but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works. They served their idols, which became a snare to them. Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds. Therefore the LORD burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance. He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity. Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

Vangelo

Matthew 19:16-22

ED ecco, un certo, accostatosi, gli disse: Maestro buono, che bene farò io per aver la vita eterna? Ed egli gli disse: Perchè mi chiami buono? niuno è buono, se non un solo, cioè: Iddio. Ora, se tu vuoi entrar nella vita, osserva i comandamenti. Colui gli disse: Quali? E Gesù disse: Questi: Non uccidere. Non commettere adulterio. Non rubare. Non dir falsa testimonianza. Onora tuo padre e tua madre, ed ama il tuo prossimo come te stesso. Quel giovane gli disse: Tutte queste cose ho osservate fin dalla mia giovanezza; che mi manca egli ancora? Gesù gli disse: Se tu vuoi esser perfetto, va', vendi ciò che tu hai, e donalo a' poveri, e tu avrai un tesoro nel cielo; poi vieni, e seguitami. Ma il giovane, udita quella parola, se ne andò contristato; perciocchè egli avea molte ricchezze.
