Reading 1 and//www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/sirach/35and1 SIR 35and1-12 To keep the law is a great oblation,and he who observes thecommandments sacrifices a peace offering.In works of charity one offers fine flour,and when he gives alms he presents his sacrifice of praise.To refrain from evil pleases the LORD,and to avoid injustice is an atonement.Appear not before the LORD empty-handed,for all that you offer is in fulfillment of the precepts.The just one's offering enriches the altarand rises as a sweet odor before the Most High.The just one's sacrifice is most pleasing,nor will it ever be forgotten.In a generous spirit pay homage to the LORD,be not sparing of freewill gifts.With each contribution show a cheerful countenance,and pay your tithes in a spirit of joy.Give to the Most High as he has given to you,generously, according to your means.For the LORD is one who always repays,and he will give back to you sevenfold.But offer no bribes, these he does not accept!Trust not in sacrifice of the fruits of extortion.For he is a God of justice,who knows no favorites. Responsorial Psalm and//www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/psalms/50and5 PS 50and5-6, 7-8, 14 AND 23 R. (23b)To the upright I will show the saving power of God. Gather my faithful ones before me,those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens proclaim his justicefor God himself is the judge.R.To the upright I will show the saving power of God. Hear, my people, and I will speakIsrael, I will testify against youGod, your God, am I.Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you,for your burnt offerings are before me always. R.To the upright I will show the saving power of God. Offer to God praise as your sacrificeand fulfill your vows to the Most High.He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies meand to him that goes the right way I will show the salvation of God. R.To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
