5th Sunday of
Ordinary Time – Year A
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady
5:30 pm Sunset Mass in English
First Reading
ISAIAH 58:7-10
7 Is it not sharing
your food with the hungry, and sheltering the homeless poor; if you see someone
lacking clothes, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own kin?
8 Then your light will
blaze out like the dawn and your wound be quickly healed over. Saving justice
will go ahead of you and Yahweh's glory come behind you.
9 Then you will cry for
help and Yahweh will answer; you will call and he will say, 'I am here.' If you
do away with the yoke, the clenched fist and malicious words,
10 if you deprive
yourself for the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, your light will
rise in the darkness, and your darkest hour will be like noon.
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 111:4-9
4 He gives us a
memorial of his great deeds; Yahweh is mercy and tenderness.
5 He gives food to
those who fear him, he keeps his covenant ever in mind.
6 His works show his
people his power in giving them the birthright of the nations.
7 The works of his
hands are fidelity and justice, all his precepts are trustworthy,
8 established for ever
and ever, accomplished in fidelity and honesty.
9 Deliverance he sends
to his people, his covenant he imposes for ever; holy and awesome his name.
Second Reading
1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-5
1 Now when I came to
you, brothers, I did not come with any brilliance of oratory or wise argument
to announce to you the mystery of God.
2 I was resolved that
the only knowledge I would have while I was with you was knowledge of Jesus,
and of him as the crucified Christ.
3 I came among you in
weakness, in fear and great trembling
4 and what I spoke and
proclaimed was not meant to convince by philosophical argument, but to
demonstrate the convincing power of the Spirit,
5 so that your faith
should depend not on human wisdom but on the power of God.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
MATTHEW 5:13-16
13 'You are salt for the
earth. But if salt loses its taste, what can make it salty again? It is good
for nothing, and can only be thrown out to be trampled under people's feet.
14 'You are light for
the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden.
15 No one lights a lamp
to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for
everyone in the house.
16 In the same way your
light must shine in people's sight, so that, seeing your good works, they may
give praise to your Father in heaven.
