Reading 1, Proverbs 3:27-34

²⁷ Refuse no kindness to those who have a right to it, if it is in your power to perform it.

²⁸ Do not say to your neighbour, 'Go away! Come another time! I will give it you tomorrow,' if you can do it now.

²⁹ Do not plot harm against your neighbour who is living unsuspecting beside you.

³⁰ Do not pick a groundless quarrel with anyone who has done you no harm.

³¹ Do not envy the man of violence, never model your conduct on his;

³² for the wilful wrong-doer is abhorrent to Yahweh, who confides only in the honest.

³³ Yahweh's curse lies on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the upright.

³⁴ He mocks those who mock, but accords his favour to the humble.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 15:2-3, 3-4, 5

² Whoever lives blamelessly, who acts uprightly, who speaks the truth from the heart,

³ who keeps the tongue under control, who does not wrong a comrade, who casts no discredit on a neighbour,

⁴ who looks with scorn on the vile, but honours those who fear Yahweh, who stands by an oath at any cost,

⁵ who asks no interest on loans, who takes no bribe to harm the innocent. No one who so acts can ever be shaken.

Gospel, Luke 8:16-18

¹⁶ 'No one lights a lamp to cover it with a bowl or to put it under a bed. No, it is put on a lamp-stand so that people may see the light when they come in.

¹⁷ For nothing is hidden but it will be made clear, nothing secret but it will be made known and brought to light.

¹⁸ So take care how you listen; anyone who has, will be given more; anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he thinks he has.'
