And with your spirit. |
C: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. Seeing the crowds, he went up the hill. There he sat down and was joined by his disciples. Then he began to speak. This is what he taught them:
How happy are the poor in spirit; Theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Happy the gentle: They shall have the Earth for their heritage. Happy those who mourn; They shall be comforted. Happy those who hunger and thirst for what is right; They shall be satisfied. Happy the merciful; They shall have mercy shown them. Happy the pure in heart; They shall see God. Happy the peacemakers; They shall be called children of God.
C: |
The Gospel of the Lord |
A: |
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. |
