First Reading
Proverbs 21:1-6, 10-13
Like a stream is the king’s heart in the hand of the LORD; wherever it pleases him, he directs it.All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes, but it is the LORD who proves hearts.To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.Haughty eyes and a proud heart– the tillage of the wicked is sin.The plans of the diligent are sure of profit, but all rash haste leads certainly to poverty.Whoever makes a fortune by a lying tongue is chasing a bubble over deadly snares....
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 119:1, 27, 30, 34, 35, 44
Refrain: Guide me, Lord, in the way of your commands.
Gospel
Luke 8:19-21
The mother of Jesus and his brothers came to him but were unable to join him because of the crowd. He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside and they wish to see you.” He said to them in reply, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.”
