Reading 1 and//www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/isaiah/49:14 IS 49:14-15 Zion said, The LORD has forsaken memy LORD has forgotten me. Can a mother forget her infant,be without tenderness for the child of her womb?Even should she forget,I will never forget you. Responsorial Psalm and//www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/psalms/62and2 PS 62and2-3, 6-7, 8-9 R. (6a)Rest in God alone, my soul.Only in God is my soul at restfrom him comes my salvation.He only is my rock and my salvation,my stronghold I shall not be disturbed at all.R.Rest in God alone, my soul.Only in God be at rest, my soul,for from him comes my hope.He only is my rock and my salvation,my stronghold I shall not be disturbed.R.Rest in God alone, my soul.With God is my safety and my glory,he is the rock of my strength my refuge is in God.Trust in him at all times, O my people!Pour out your hearts before him.R.Rest in God alone, my soul. Reading 2 and//www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/1corinthians/4and1 1 COR 4and1-5 Brothers and sistersandThus should one regard usand as servants of Christand stewards of the mysteries of God.Now it is of course required of stewardsthat they be found trustworthy.It does not concern me in the leastthat I be judged by you or any human tribunalI do not even pass judgment on myselfI am not conscious of anything against me,but I do not thereby stand acquittedthe one who judges me is the Lord.Therefore do not make any judgment before the appointed time,until the Lord comes,for he will bring to light what is hidden in darknessand will manifest the motives of our hearts,and then everyone will receive praise from God. Alleluia and//www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/habakkuk/4:12 HB 4:12 R.Alleluia, alleluia.The word of God is living and effectivediscerning reflections and thoughts of the heart.R.Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel and//www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/matthew/6:24 MT 6:24-34 Jesus said to his disciplesand No one can serve two masters.He will either hate one and love the other,or be devoted to one and despise the other.You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life,what you will eat or drink,or about your body, what you will wear.Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?Look at the birds in the skythey do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns,yet your heavenly Father feeds them.Are not you more important than they?Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?Why are you anxious about clothes?Learn from the way the wild flowers grow.They do not work or spin.But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendorwas clothed like one of them.If God so clothes the grass of the field,which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow,will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?'or 'What are we to drink?'or 'What are we to wear?'All these things the pagans seek.Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,and all these things will be given you besides.Do not worry about tomorrow tomorrow will take care of itself.Sufficient for a day is its own evil.
