Reading I

1 Tim 1:1-2, 12-14

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope:

To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

I give him thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry:

Who before was a blasphemer and a persecutor and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 16:1b-2a+5, 7-8, 11

The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.

I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover, my reins also have corrected me even till night.

I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

Gospel Acclamation

See John 17:17b, 17a

Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.

Gospel

Luke 6:39-42

And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? Do they not both fall into the ditch?

The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master.

And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?

Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye: and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye.

About These Readings

Scripture text from the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision, 1899), which is in the public domain. The Mass readings follow the Lectionary for Mass approved for the dioceses of the United States.

The Douay-Rheims follows the Vulgate numbering, which in the Psalms, Sirach, and a few other books can differ by a chapter or a few verses from the numbering in the modern Lectionary. The text is the same passage.
