First Reading
This passage is numbered differently in the Catholic Public Domain Version, so it can’t be shown verse by verse here. Read the chapter, or see the reading at USCCB.
Responsorial Psalm
13As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.
14For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.
15Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.
16For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.
17But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, and even unto eternity, upon those who fear him. And his justice is with the sons of the sons,
18with those who serve his covenant and have been mindful of his commandments by doing them.
Gospel
13And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them. 14But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: “Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God. 15Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.” 16And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
