1st Reading (Dt. 4:32–34, 39–40)

A reading from the Book of Deuteronomy

  1. Moses said to the people:

  2. For ask now about former ages, long before your own, ever since the day that God created man on the earth; ask from one end of heaven to the other: has anything so great as this ever happened or has its like ever been heard of?

  3. Has any people ever heard the voice of a god speaking out of a fire, as you have heard, and lived?

  4. Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by terrifying displays of power, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

  5. So acknowledge today and take to heart that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

  6. Keep his statutes and his commandments, which I am commanding you today for your own well–being and that of your descendants after you, so that you may long remain in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for all time.

Short Pause

    and all his work is done in faithfulness.

    the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

  2. For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.

R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

  2. to deliver their soul from death,
    and to keep them alive in famine.

R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

  1. Our soul waits for the Lord;
    he is our help and shield.

  2. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
    even as we hope in you.

R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

2nd Reading—Epistle (Rom. 8:14–17)

A reading from the first letter of Saint Paul to the Romans.

  1. Brethren,

  2. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

  3. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
    but you have received a spirit of adoption.
    When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’

  4. it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

  5. and if children, then heirs,
    heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—
    if, in fact, we suffer with him
    so that we may also be glorified with him.

Short Pause

V. The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.

Gospel (Mt. 28:16–20)

V. The Lord be with you.
R. And also with you.

R. Glory to you, O Lord.

  1. Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee,
    to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.

  2. When they saw him, they worshipped him;
    but some doubted.

  3. And Jesus came and said to them,
    ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

  4. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
    baptizing them
    in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

  5. and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.
    And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’

Short Pause

V. The Word of the Lord.
