Tuesday of the 10th week of Ordinary Time

18But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.” 19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.” 20For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us. 21Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, 22who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

129Your testimonies are wonderful,

therefore my soul keeps them.

130The entrance of your words gives light.

It gives understanding to the simple.

131I opened my mouth wide and panted,

for I longed for your commandments.

132Turn to me, and have mercy on me,

as you always do to those who love your name.

133Establish my footsteps in your word.

Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

…

135Make your face shine on your servant.

Teach me your statutes.

13“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. 14“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. 15Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. 16Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
