Monday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time

Reading 1
Gn 12:1-9

The LORD said to Abram:
Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father’s house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed. I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when

he went forth from Haran. And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it, Abram passed through the country unto the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land. And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him:

To thy seed will I give this land.

And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name. And Abram went forward, going and proceeding on to the south.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 33:12-13, 18-19, 20 and 22

R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord:
the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
The Lord hath looked from heaven:
he hath beheld all the sons of men.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him:
and on them that hope in his mercy.
To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.
Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

Gospel
Mt 7:1-5

Jesus said to his disciples:
Judge not, that you may not be judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
