Daily Mass Readings – 3 August 2017 – Thursday

Ordinary Weekday
First Reading: Exodus 40: 16-21, 34-38

16 And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.

17 So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.

18 And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,

19 And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.

20 And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.

21 And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfill the commandment of th

34 The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.

35 Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things and the majesty of the

36 If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:

37 If it hung over, they remained in the same place.

38 For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children

Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 84: 3, 4, 5-6a and 8a, 11

3 My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.

4 For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

5 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.

6 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee.

8 For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue.

11 For better is one day in thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

Gospel: Matthew 13: 47-53

47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.

48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.

49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.

50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.

52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.

53 And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.
