My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and wilt hide my commandments with thee, That thy ear may hearken to wisdom: Incline thy heart to know prudence: For if thou shalt call for wisdom, and incline thy heart to prudence: If thou shalt seek her as money, and shalt dig for her as for a treasure: Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and shalt find the knowledge of God. Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge. He will keep the salvation of the righteous, and protect them that walk in simplicity. Keeping the paths of justice, and guarding the ways of saints. Then shalt thou understand justice, and judgment, and equity, and every good path.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 34 (33):9a; V. 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, 10-11
R. O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet:V. I will bless the Lord at all times,his praise shall be always in my mouth.In the Lord shall my soul be praised:let the meek hear and rejoice.V. O magnify the Lord with me;and let us extol his name together.I sought the Lord, and he heard me;and he delivered me from all my troubles.V. Come ye to him and be enlightened:and your faces shall not be confounded.This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him:and saved him out of all his troubles.V. The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him:and shall deliver them.O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet:blessed is the man that hopeth in him.V. Fear the Lord, all ye his saints:for there is no want to them that fear him.The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger:but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
Gospel Reading: Matthew 19:27-29
Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have? And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.
