Read in the CPDV: Psalm 92 (91 in the Vulgate)
54And when this mortality has been clothed with immortality, then the word that was written shall occur: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
56Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57But thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not useless in the Lord.

Read in the CPDV: Philippians 2
39Now he told them another comparison: “How can the blind lead the blind? Would they not both fall into a pit?
40The disciple is not above his teacher. But each one will be perfected, if he is like his teacher.
41And why do you see the straw that is in your brother’s eye, while the log that is in your own eye, you do not consider?
42Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? Hypocrite, first remove the log from your own eye, and then will you see clearly, so that you may lead out the straw from your brother’s eye.
43For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor does an evil tree produce good fruit.
44For each and every tree is known by its fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape from the bramble bush.
45A good man, from the good storehouse of his heart, offers what is good. And an evil man, from the evil storehouse, offers what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.
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.
