Reading 1, Second Corinthians 9:6-11

⁶ But remember: anyone who sows sparsely will reap sparsely as well -- and anyone who sows generously will reap generously as well.

⁷ Each one should give as much as he has decided on his own initiative, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

⁸ God is perfectly able to enrich you with every grace, so that you always have enough for every conceivable need, and your resources overflow in all kinds of good work.

⁹ As scripture says: To the needy he gave without stint, his uprightness stands firm for ever.

¹⁰ The one who so freely provides seed for the sower and food to eat will provide you with ample store of seed for sowing and make the harvest of your uprightness a bigger one:

¹¹ you will be rich enough in every way for every kind of generosity that makes people thank God for what we have done.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 112:1-2, 3-4, 9

¹ Alleluia! How blessed is anyone who fears Yahweh, who delights in his commandments!

² His descendants shall be powerful on earth, the race of the honest shall receive blessings:

³ Riches and wealth for his family; his uprightness stands firm for ever.

⁴ For the honest he shines as a lamp in the dark, generous, tender-hearted, and upright.

⁹ To the needy he gives without stint, his uprightness stands firm for ever; his reputation is founded on strength.
