For you yourselves know the manner in which you ought to imitate us. For we were not disorderly among you. Nor did we eat bread from anyone for free, but rather, we worked night and day, in hardship and weariness, so as not to be burdensome to you. It was not as if we had no authority, but this was so that we might present ourselves as an example to you, in order to imitate us. Then, too, while we were with you, we insisted on this to you: that if anyone was not willing to work, neither should he eat. Then may the Lord of peace himself give you an everlasting peace, in every place. May the Lord be with all of you. The greeting of Paul with my own hand, which is the seal in every epistle. So do I write. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Responsorial Psalm: PS 128:1-2, 4-5 R. (1) Blessed are those who fear the Lord. Blessed are all who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. For you shall eat the labor of your hands; blessed are you, and it shall be well with you. R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord. May the Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of your life. R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord. Alleluia: 1 JOHN 2:5 R. Alleluia, alleluia. Whoever keeps the word of Christ, the love of God is truly perfected in him. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel: Matthew 23:27-32 Jesus said, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed sepulchers, which outwardly appear brilliant to men, yet truly, inside, they are filled with the bones of the dead and with all filth. So also, you certainly appear to men outwardly to be just. But inwardly you are filled with hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites, who build the sepulchers of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the just. And then you say, ‘If we had been there in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined with them in the blood of the prophets.’ And so you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets. Complete, then, the measure of your fathers." === Reflection: https://mycatholic.life/books/catholic-daily-reflections-series-two/ordinary-time-week-18-34-series-two/twenty-first-week-in-ordinary-time/#Wed Copyright © 2020 My Catholic Life!
