DR Squared: Memorial Of Saint Jerome, Priest And Doctor Of The Church

First Reading:  2 Timothy 3:14-17
But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee: knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures, which can instruct thee to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice, That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.
Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 119 (118):12b; V. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
R.  O Lord: teach me thy justifications.

V.  By what doth a young man correct his way?
     by observing thy words. 

V.  With my whole heart have I sought after thee:
     let me not stray from thy commandments.

V.  Thy words have I hidden in my heart,
     that I may not sin against thee.

V.  Blessed art thou, O Lord:
     teach me thy justifications.

V. With my lips I have pronounced
     all the judgments of thy mouth.

V.  I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies,
     as in all riches.
Gospel Reading:  Matthew 13:47-52
Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes. Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes. He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
