First Reading

Exodus 34:29-35

29And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord. 30And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near. 31And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them. 32And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai. 33And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face. 34But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him. 35And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 99:5, 6, 7, 9

5Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.

6Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:

7He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.

9Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.

Gospel

Matthew 13:44-46

44The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls. 46Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.
