Antiphon
In justice I will contemplate your face,
when I wake up I will be satisfied with your presence. (Ps 16,15:XNUMX)
Collection
O God, show the light of your truth to wanderers.
so that they can return to the right path,
grant to all those who profess to be Christians
to reject what is contrary to this name
and to follow what conforms to it.
For our Lord Jesus Christ ...
?Or:
Merciful Father,
than in the commandment of love
you laid the compendium and the soul of the whole law,
give us an attentive and generous heart
towards the sufferings and miseries of the brothers,
to be like Christ,
good Samaritan of the world.
He is God, and lives and reigns with you ...
First Reading
This word is very close to you, because you put it into practice.
From the book of Deuteronòmio
Deut 30,10-14
Moses spoke to the people saying:
«You will obey the voice of the Lord, your God, observing his commands and decrees, written in this book of the law, and you will be converted to the Lord, your God, with all your heart and whole soul.
This command that I order you today is not too high for you, nor too far from you. It is not in heaven, because you say: "Who will go up to us in heaven, to take it and make us hear it, so that we can carry it out?". It is not beyond the sea, because you say: "Who will cross the sea for us, to take it and make us hear it, so that we can carry it out?". Indeed, this word is very close to you, it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can put it into practice ».

Responsorial Psalm
From Psalm 18 (19)
R. The precepts of the Lord make the heart rejoice.
The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshes the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is stable,
it makes the simple wise. R.
The precepts of the Lord are right,
they make the heart rejoice;
the command of the Lord is clear,
brighten your eyes. R.
The fear of the Lord is pure,
remains forever;
the judgments of the Lord are faithful,
they are all right. R.
More precious than gold,
of a lot of fine gold,
sweeter than honey
and a dripping honeycomb. R.
Second reading
All things were created through him and in view of him.
From the letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Colossians
Col 1,15-20
Christ Jesus is the image of the invisible God,
firstborn of all creation,
because in him all things were created
in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible ones:
Thrones, Dominations,
Principalities and Powers.
All things have been created
through him and in view of him.
He is first of all
and all in him subsist.
He is also the head of the body, of the Church.
He is principle,
firstborn of those who rise from the dead,
because it is he who has the primacy over all things.
In fact, God liked it
that all fullness dwells in him
and that through him and in view of him
all things are reconciled,
having pacified with the blood of his cross
both the things on earth,
both those in heaven.

Gospel
Who is my next?
From the Gospel according to Luke
Lc 10,25-37
At that time, a doctor of the Law stood up to test Jesus and asked, "Master, what should I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read? ». He replied: "You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." He said to him, "You answered well; do this and you will live. "
But that one, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus: «And who is my neighbor?». Jesus went on: «A man came down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of the brigands, who took everything away from him, beat him to blood and left, leaving him half dead. By chance, a priest went down that same road and, when he saw him, he passed on. Even a Levite, who came to that place, saw and passed by. Instead a Samaritan, who was traveling, passing by, saw and had compassion on him. He came up to him, bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; then he loaded it on his mount, took it to a hotel and took care of it. The following day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the hotelier, saying, “Take care of him; what you spend more, I will pay you on my return. " Which of these three do you think was the neighbor of the one who fell into the hands of the brigands? » That replied: "Who has pityed him." Jesus said to him, "Go and do it too."
