Ordinary Time

1st Reading

1 Cor 4,1-5

1 Let everyone then see us as the servants of Christ and stewards of the secret works of God. 2 Being stewards, faithfulness shall be demanded of us; 3 but I do not mind if you or any human court judges me. I do not even judge myself; 4 my conscience indeed does not accuse me of anything, but that is not enough for me to be set right with God: the Lord is the one who judges me. 5 Therefore, do not judge before the time, until the coming of the Lord. He will bring to light whatever was hidden in darkness and will disclose the secret intentions of the hearts. Then each one will receive praise from God.

Responsorial Psalm

Ps 37,3-4
3 Trust in the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and
live on it.
4 Make the Lord your delight, and he will grant your
heart's desire.

Ps 37,5-6
5 Commit your way to the Lord; put your trust in him
and let him act.
6 Then will your revenge come, beautiful as the dawn,
and the justification of your cause, bright as the noonday
sun.

Ps 37,27-28
27 Do good and shun evil, so that you will live secure
forever.
28 For the Lord loves justice and right, and never
forsakes his faithful ones. The wicked instead will perish
and their breed will be cut off.

Ps 37,39-40
39 The Lord is the salvation of the righteous; in time of
distress, he is their refuge.
40 The Lord helps them, and rescues them from the
oppressor; he saves them for they sought shelter in him.

Gospel

Lk 5,33-39

33 Some people asked him, "The disciples of John fast often and say long prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees. Why is it that your disciples eat and drink?" Then Jesus said to them, 34 "You can't make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them. 35 But later the bridegroom will be taken from them and they will fast in those days."

36 Jesus also told them this parable, "No one tears a piece from a new coat to put it on an old one; otherwise the new will be torn and the piece taken from the new will not match the old. 37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed as well. 38 But new wine must be put into fresh skins. 39 Yet no one who has tasted old wine is eager to get new wine, but says: The old is good."
