Responsorial Psalm Psalm 71:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 15 and 17
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 71 (70 in the Vulgate)
Second Reading 1 Corinthians 12:31—13:13 or 13:4-13
31But be zealous for the better charisms. And I reveal to you a yet more excellent way.
13:1If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal.
2And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing.
3And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing.
4Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated.
5Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil.
6Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.
7Charity suffers all, believes all, hopes all, endures all.
8Charity is never torn away, even if prophecies pass away, or languages cease, or knowledge is destroyed.
9For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part.
10But when the perfect arrives, the imperfect passes away.
11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I put aside the things of a child.
12Now we see through a glass darkly. But then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know, even as I am known.
13But for now, these three continue: faith, hope, and charity. And the greatest of these is charity.

Gospel Luke 4:21-30
21Then he began to say to them, “On this day, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22And everyone gave testimony to him. And they wondered at the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth. And they said, “Is this not the son of Joseph?”
23And he said to them: “Certainly, you will recite to me this saying, ‘Physician, heal yourself.’ The many great things that we have heard were done in Capernaum, do here also in your own country.”
24Then he said: “Amen I say to you, that no prophet is accepted in his own country.
25In truth, I say to you, there were many widows in the days of Elijah in Israel, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, when a great famine had occurred throughout the entire land.
26And to none of these was Elijah sent, except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27And there were many lepers in Israel under the prophet Elisha. And none of these was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.”
28And all those in the synagogue, upon hearing these things, were filled with anger.
29And they rose up and drove him beyond the city. And they brought him all the way to the edge of the mount, upon which their city had been built, so that they might throw him down violently.
30But passing through their midst, he went away.

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.
