The 20th of September, 2022, Tuesday is the Memorial of Saint Andrew Kim Tae-gon, Priest, and Saint Paul Chong Ha-sang and Companions, Martyrs. The Bible scriptures for the holy mass readings for this day came from the Year 2022 of Liturgical Calendar.
Reading 1: PRV 21:1-6, 10-13
The first reading from the Proverbs.
The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the hearts.
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice.
A high look and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin.
The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.
Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.
The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked, and brings the wicked to ruin.
Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

Gospel of the Day: LK 8:19-21
From the gospel verse according to Luke.
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
