Responsorial Psalm Psalm 78:18-19, 23-24, 25-26, 27-28
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 78 (77 in the Vulgate)
Gospel Matthew 13:1-9
1In that day, Jesus, departing from the house, sat down beside the sea.
2And such great crowds were gathered to him that he climbed into a boat and he sat down. And the entire multitude stood on the shore.
3And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow seed.
4And while he was sowing, some fell beside the road, and the birds of the air came and ate it.
5Then others fell in a rocky place, where they did not have much soil. And they sprung up promptly, because they had no depth of soil.
6But when the sun rose up, they were scorched, and because they had no roots, they withered.
7Still others fell among thorns, and the thorns increased and suffocated them.
8Yet some others fell upon good soil, and they produced fruit: some one hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold.
9Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

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.
