Responsorial Psalm Psalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6
Read in the CPDV: Psalm 23 (22 in the Vulgate)
Gospel Matthew 15:29-37
29And when Jesus had passed from there, he arrived beside the sea of Galilee. And ascending onto a mountain, he sat down there.
30And great multitudes came to him, having with them the mute, the blind, the lame, the disabled, and many others. And they cast them down at his feet, and he cured them,
31so much so that the crowds wondered, seeing the mute speaking, the lame walking, the blind seeing. And they magnified the God of Israel.
32And Jesus, calling together his disciples, said: “I have compassion on the crowds, because they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat. And I am not willing to dismiss them, fasting, lest they faint along the way.”
33And the disciples said to him: “From where, then, in the desert, would we obtain enough bread to satisfy so a great multitude?”
34And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” But they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35And he instructed the crowds to recline upon the ground.
36And taking the seven loaves and the fish, and giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.
37And they all ate and were satisfied. And, from what was left over of the fragments, they took up seven full baskets.

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.
