Harden not your hearts.Come, let us ring out our joy to the Lord;hail the rock who saves us.Let us come into his presence, giving thanks;let us hail him with a song of praise.O come, let us bow and bend low.Let us kneel before the God who made us,for he is our God and wethe people who belong to his pasture,the flock that is led by his hand.O that today you would listen to his voice! ‘Harden not your hearts as at Meribahas one that day at Massah in the desertwhen your forebears put me to the test;when they tried me, though they saw my work.’R/: O that today you would listen to his voice! Harden not your hearts.Second reading: Romans 13:8-10A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the RomansBrothers and sisters: Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.The word of the Lord.Alleluia, alleluia.God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.Alleluia.Gospel: Matthew 18:15-20 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, “If your brother or sister sins against you, go and tell them their faults, between you and them alone. If they listen to you, you have gained your brother or sister. But if they do not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If they refuse to listen to them, tell it to the Church; and if they refuse to listen even to the Church, let them be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”The Gospel of the Lord. Communion Antiphon: cf. Ps 42:2-3Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God; my soul is thirsting for God, the living God.
