The 19th of September, 2022 is Monday in the Twenty-Fifth Week of Ordinary Time. The Holy Bible verses for the mass readings for this day came from the Liturgical Calendar Year 2022.
Reading 1: PRV 3:27-34
The first reading from the Proverbs.
Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, but his friendship is with the upright.
Yahweh’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
Responsorial Psalm: PS 15:2-3A, 3BC-4AB, 5
Response: Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart; he who doesn’t slander with his tongue.
R: Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
Nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man; in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh.
R: Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
He who doesn’t lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
R: Yahweh, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?
Gospel of the Day: LK 8:16-18
From the gospel scripture according to Luke.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
Other Celebration
An optional celebration on this day is the Memorial of Saint Januarius, Bishop and Martyr.
