First Reading
14For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead. 15And Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again. 16Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh; but now we know him so no longer. 17If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new. 18But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. 19For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. 20For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us. For Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God. 21Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 103:1-2, 3-4, 9-10, 11-12
1For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name.
2Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all he hath done for thee.
3Who forgiveth all thy iniquities: who healeth all thy diseases.
4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.
9He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.
10He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.
Gospel
33Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, Thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord. 34But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God: 35Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king: 36Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.
