TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — Year B
First Reading: Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-8
A reading from the book of Deuteronomy.
Moses told the people, “Now, Israel, hear the statutes and decrees which I am teaching you to observe, that you may live, and may enter in and take possession of the land which the Most High, the God of your ancestors, is giving you. In your observance of the commandments of the Most High, Your God, which I am giving you, you will not add to what I command you nor subtract from it. Observe them carefully, for thus will you give evidence of your wisdom and intelligence to the nations, who will hear of all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this is a wise and intelligent people.’ For what other great nation has a god so near to it as Our God is to us when we call?
Or what great nation has statutes and decrees that are as just as this whole Law which I am setting before you today?”
The Word of God recorded in the book of Deuteronomy.
TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — Year B
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 15
R: O God, who has the right to enter Your tent?
Those who always do what is right.
Those whose way of life is blameless,
who always do what is right,
Who speak the truth from their heart,
whose tongue is not used for slander.
R: O God, who has the right to enter Your tent?
Those who always do what is right.
Who do no wrong to friends,
cast no discredit on neighbors,
Who look with contempt on the reprobate
but honor those who fear You.
R: O God, who has the right to enter Your tent?
Those who always do what is right.
Who do not ask interest on loans,
and cannot be bribed to exploit the innocent.
If they do all this,
nothing can ever shake them.
R: O God, who has the right to enter Your tent?
Those who always do what is right.
