Second Reading Colossians 1:15-20
15He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature.
16For in him was created everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created through him and in him.
17And he is before all, and in him all things continue.
18And he is the head of his body, the Church. He is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, so that in all things he may hold primacy.
19For the Father is well-pleased that all fullness reside in him,
20and that, through him, all things be reconciled to himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, for the things that are on earth, as well as the things that are in heaven.

Gospel Luke 10:25-37
25And behold, a certain expert in the law rose up, testing him and saying, “Teacher, what must I do to possess eternal life?”
26But he said to him: “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27In response, he said: “You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, and from your whole soul, and from all your strength, and from all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
28And he said to him: “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29But since he wanted to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30Then Jesus, taking this up, said: “A certain man descended from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he happened upon robbers, who now also plundered him. And inflicting him with wounds, they went away, leaving him behind, half-alive.
31And it happened that a certain priest was descending along the same way. And seeing him, he passed by.
32And similarly a Levite, when he was near the place, also saw him, and he passed by.
33But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came near him. And seeing him, he was moved by mercy.
34And approaching him, he bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. And setting him on his pack animal, he brought him to an inn, and he took care of him.
35And the next day, he took out two denarii, and he gave them to the proprietor, and he said: ‘Take care of him. And whatever extra you will have spent, I will repay to you at my return.’
36Which of these three, does it seem to you, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37Then he said, “The one who acted with mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go, and act similarly.”

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.
