Tuesday of the 10th week of Ordinary Time

18But God is faithful, so our word, which was set before you, was not, in him, both Yes and No. 19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you through us, through myself and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not Yes, and No; but was simply Yes in him. 20For whatever promises are of God are, in him, Yes. For this reason, too, through him: Amen to God for our glory. 21Now the One who confirms us with you in Christ, and who has anointed us, is God. 22And he has sealed us, and he has placed the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

129PHE. Your testimonies are wonderful. Therefore, my soul has been examined by them.

130The declaration of your words illuminates, and it gives understanding to little ones.

131I opened my mouth and drew breath, for I desired your commandments.

132Gaze upon me and be merciful to me, according to the judgment of those who love your name.

133Direct my steps according to your eloquence, and let no injustice rule over me.

…

135Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your justifications.

13You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, with what will it be salted? It is no longer useful at all, except to be cast out and trampled under by men. 14You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. 15And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house. 16So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven.
