Green Liturgical Color
Antiphon
The Lord is my light and my salvation,
who will I be afraid of?
The Lord is defense of my life,
Who will I be afraid of?
Just those who hurt me
They stumble and fall. (Ps 26,1-2)

Collection
O God, source of all good,
inspire righteous and holy purposes
and give us your help,
because we can implement them in our life.
For our Lord Jesus Christ ...

First Reading
He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus and put us next to him together with you.
From the second letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corìnzi
2 Cor 4,7:15-XNUMX

Brothers, we have a treasure in clay pots, so that it appears that this extraordinary power belongs to God, and does not come from us. In all, in fact, we are troubled, but not crushed; we are upset, but not desperate; persecuted, but not abandoned; affected, but not killed, always carrying the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also manifest itself in our body. In fact, we who are alive are always delivered to death because of Jesus, so that even the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So that death works in us, life in you.

Animated, however, by that same spirit of faith of which it is written: "I believed, therefore I spoke", we also believe and therefore speak, convinced that he who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and place us next to him together with you. In fact, everything is for you, so that grace, increased by many, may make the hymn of thanksgiving abound, for the glory of God.

God's word

Responsorial Psalm
From Ps 115 (116)
R. To you, Lord, I will offer a thanksgiving sacrifice.
I also believed when I said:
"I'm too unhappy."
I said with dismay:
"Every man is a liar." R.

In the eyes of the Lord it is precious
the death of his faithful.
Please, Lord, because I am your servant;
I am your servant, son of your slave:
you broke my chains. R.

I will offer you a thanksgiving sacrifice
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord
before all his people. R.

Gospel acclamation
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Shine like stars in the world,
keeping the word of life high. (Phil 2,15d.16a)

Hallelujah.

Gospel
Anyone who looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery.
From the Gospel according to Matthew
Mt 5,27-32

At that time, Jesus said to his disciples:
"You understood that it was said," You will not commit adultery. " But I tell you: anyone who looks at a woman to desire her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye is a cause of scandal, dig it out and throw it away from you: in fact, it is better for you to lose one of your limbs, rather than to throw your whole body into Geènna. And if your right hand is a cause of scandal, cut it and throw it away from you: in fact, you should lose one of your limbs, rather than your whole body going to end up in Geènna.
It was also said: "Whoever divorces his wife, give her the act of repudiation". But I tell you: anyone who divorces his wife, except in the case of an illegitimate union, exposes her to adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. "

Word of the Lord

On offers

Communion antiphon
The Lord is my rock and my fortress:
it is he, my God, who sets me free and helps me. (Ps 17,3)

?Or:

After communion
Lord, the healing power of your Spirit,
operating in this sacrament,

and guide us on the path of good.
For Christ our Lord.
