Responsorial Psalm Psalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 23 (22 in the Vulgate)
Second Reading Romans 5:5-11
or Romans 6:3-9
5but hope is not unfounded, because the love of God is poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6Yet why did Christ, while we were still infirm, at the proper time, suffer death for the impious?
7Now someone might barely be willing to die for the sake of justice, for example, perhaps someone might dare to die for the sake of a good man.
8But God demonstrates his love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, at the proper time,
9Christ died for us. Therefore, having been justified now by his blood, all the more so shall we be saved from wrath through him.
10For if we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, while we were still enemies, all the more so, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11And not only that, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Gospel John 6:37-40
37All that the Father gives to me shall come to me. And whoever comes to me, I will not cast out.
38For I descended from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
39Yet this is the will of the Father who sent me: that I should lose nothing out of all that he has given to me, but that I should raise them up on the last day.
40So then, this is the will of my Father who sent me: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

Citations as published in the USCCB liturgical calendar.
In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
