First Reading Romans 2:1-11

1For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.
2For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things.
3But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?
4Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and patience and forbearance? Do you not know that the kindness of God is calling you to repentance?
5But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God.
6For he will render to each one according to his works:
7To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life.
8But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation.
9Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek.
10But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek.
11For there is no favoritism with God.

Gospel Luke 11:42-46

42But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore judgment and the charity of God. But these things you ought to have done, without omitting the others.
43Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the first seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplace.
44Woe to you! For you are like graves that are not noticeable, so that men walk over them without realizing it.”
45Then one of the experts in the law, in response, said to him, “Teacher, in saying these things, you bring an insult against us as well.”
46So he said: “And woe to you experts in the law! For you weigh men down with burdens which they are not able to bear, but you yourselves do not touch the weight with even one of your fingers.

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.
