Reading 1
Beloved:
Wait
for and hasten the coming of the day of God,
because
of which the heavens will be dissolved in flames
and the
elements melted by fire.
But
according to his promise
we await
new heavens and a new earth
in which
righteousness dwells.
Therefore,
beloved, since you await these things,
be eager
to be found without spot or blemish before him, at peace.
And
consider the patience of our Lord as salvation.
Therefore,
beloved, since you are forewarned,
be on
your guard not to be led into the error of the unprincipled
and to
fall from your own stability.
But
grow in grace
and in
the knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
To him be
glory now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm
R.
(1) In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Before
the mountains were begotten
and the
earth and the world were brought forth,
from
everlasting to everlasting you are God.
R.
In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
You
turn man back to dust,
saying,
“Return, O children of men.”
For
a thousand years in your sight
are as
yesterday, now that it is past,
or as a
watch of the night.
R.
In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Seventy
is the sum of our years,
or
eighty, if we are strong,
And
most of them are fruitless toil,
for they
pass quickly and we drift away.
R.
In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Fill
us at daybreak with your kindness,
that we
may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
Let
your work be seen by your servants
and your
glory by their children.
R.
In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge.
Gospel
Some
Pharisees and Herodians were sent
to Jesus
to ensnare him in his speech.
They
came and said to him,
“Teacher,
we know that you are a truthful man
and that
you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion.
You
do not regard a person’s status
but teach
the way of God in accordance with the truth.
Is
it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?
Should
we pay or should we not pay?”
Knowing
their hypocrisy he said to them,
“Why
are you testing me?
Bring
me a denarius to look at.”
They
brought one to him and he said to them,
“Whose
image and inscription is this?”
They
replied to him, “Caesar’s.”
So
Jesus said to them,
“Repay
to Caesar what belongs to Caesar
and to
God what belongs to God.”
They were utterly amazed at
him.
