FIRST READING: AMOS 7: 8-17

The Lord GOD asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” And I answered, “A plummet.” Then
the LORD said: See, I am laying the plummet in the midst of my people Israel; I will forgive
them no longer. The high places of Isaac shall be laid waste, and the sanctuaries of Israel
made desolate; and I will attack the house of Jeroboam with the sword. Amaziah, the
priest of Bethel, sent word to Jeroboam, king of Israel: “Amos has conspired against you
within the house of Israel; the country cannot endure all his words. For this is what Amos
says: ‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be exiled from its land.’” To
Amos, Amaziah said: “Off with you, seer, flee to the land of Judah and there earn your
bread by prophesying! But never again prophesy in Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary
and a royal temple.” Amos answered Amaziah, “I am not a prophet,* nor do I belong to a
company of prophets. I am a herdsman and a dresser of sycamores, but the LORD took
me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
Now hear the word of the LORD: You say: ‘Do not prophesy against Israel, do not preach
against the house of Isaac.’ Therefore, thus says the LORD: Your wife shall become a
prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword. Your land shall
be parceled out by measuring line, and you yourself shall die in an unclean land; and
Israel shall be exiled from its land.”

RESPONSORIAL PSALMS: ZABURI 91: 1-2, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15 (K:15b)

K: Uwe Pamoja nami, ee Bwana, katika taabu zangu

Akaaye katika ulinzi wake Aliye Juu,
atapumzika katika kivuli cha Mwenyezi,
nitamwambia Bwana, “Wewe kimbilio langu na ngome yangu!
Mungu wangu, ninayemtumaini.” K.

Hakuna baya litakalokupata wewe,
wala maangamizi hayatayakaribia makao yako.
Maana Mungu amewaamuru malaika wake
wakulinde katika njia zako zote. K.

Mikononi mwao watakuchukua,
usijikwae mguu wako katika jiwe.
Uwakanyaga simba na nyoka wa sumu,
utawaponda kwa miguu mwanasimba na joka. K

Kwa kuwa aliyeambatana nami, nitamwokoa;
nitamwinua yule anayelijua jina langu.
Ataniita, nami nitamwitikia;
nitakuwa pamoja naye katika taabu;
nitamwokoa na kumpa heshima. K.

SECOND READING: 2ND TIMOTHY 3: 10-15

You have followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra,
persecutions that I endured. Yet from all these things the Lord delivered me. In fact, all
who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. But wicked people and
charlatans will go from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. But you, remain faithful to
what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, and
that from infancy you have known [the] sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you
wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
The Word of the Lord

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL: MATTHEW 19: 16-22

“Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?”
He answered him, “Why do you ask me about the good?
There is only One who is good.
If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
He asked him, “Which ones?”
And Jesus replied, “You shall not kill;
you shall not commit adultery;
you shall not steal;
you shall not bear false witness;
honor your father and your mother;
and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
The young man said to him,
“All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?”
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go,
sell what you have and give to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven.
Then come, follow me.”
When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
