Responsorial Psalm Psalm 27:1, 4, 13-14
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 27 (26 in the Vulgate)
Gospel Matthew 9:27-31
27And as Jesus passed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out and saying, “Take pity on us, Son of David.”
28And when he had arrived at the house, the blind men approached him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you trust that I am able to do this for you?” They say to him, “Certainly, Lord.”
29Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith, so let it be done for you.”
30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus warned them, saying, “See to it that no one knows of this.”
31But going out, they spread the news of it to all that land.

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.
