Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience: Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also. But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection: And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 37 (36):30a; V. 3-4, 5-6, 30-31
R. The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom:V. Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land,and thou shalt be fed with its riches.Delight in the Lord,and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.V. Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him,and he will do it.And he will bring forth thy justice as the light,and thy judgment as the noonday.V. The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom:and his tongue shall speak judgment.The law of his God is in his heart,and his steps shall not be supplanted.
Gospel Reading: Luke 6:43-45
For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit; nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit. For every tree is known by its fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns; nor from a bramble bush do they gather the grape. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
