First Reading
Isaiah 6:1-8
1In the year that King Uzziʹah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.2Above him stood the seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.3And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.”4And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.5And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”6Then flew one of the seraphim to me, having in his hand a burning coal which he had taken with tongs from the altar.7And he touched my mouth, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”8And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” -
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 93:1-2, 5
1The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed, he is girded with strength. Yea, the world is established; it shall never be moved;2thy throne is established from of old; thou art from everlasting.5Thy decrees are very sure; holiness befits thy house, O LORD, for evermore. -
Gospel
Matthew 10:24-33
24“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master;25it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Be-elʹzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.26“So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.27What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops.28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will.30But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.32So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven;33but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
