Gospel

Matthew 20:29-34

29Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.30And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!31Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!32So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, What do you want Me to do for you?33They said to Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.34So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Matins

Psalm

8I will awaken the dawn.9I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations.10For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens

Gospel

Matthew 20:17-19

17Now Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples aside on the road and said to them,18Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death,19and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.

Liturgy

Pauline

Romans 2:14-16

14for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,15who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)16in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

Catholic

1 John 2:21-25

21I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.22Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.23Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.24Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.25And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life.

Acts

Acts 4:32-35

32Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.33And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.34Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,35and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

Psalm

Psalms 18:46, 49

46The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
49Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name.

Gospel

John 8:23-26

23And He said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.24Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.25Then they said to Him, Who are You? And Jesus said to them, Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.26I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.
