Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection - Thursday, December 5, 2024

Reading 1: Is 26:1-6
Resp: Ps 118:1 and 8-9, 19-21, 25-27a
Gospel: Matthew 7:21, 24-27

Thursday of the First Week of Advent
Lectionary: 178

Reading 1: Is 26:1-6
On that day they will sing this song in the land of Judah:

"A strong city have we; he sets up walls and ramparts to protect us. Open up the gates to let in a nation that is just, one that keeps faith. A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace; in peace, for its trust in you."

Trust in the LORD forever! For the LORD is an eternal Rock. He humbles those in high places, and the lofty city he brings down; He tumbles it to the ground, levels it with the dust. It is trampled underfoot by the needy, by the footsteps of the poor.


Responsorial Psalm: Ps 118:1 and 8-9, 19-21, 25-27a
R. (26a) Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endures forever. It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man. It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.
R. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Open to me the gates of justice: I will go into them, and give praise to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it. I will give glory to you because you have heard me: and have become my salvation.
R. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success. Blessed be he who comes in the name of the Lord. We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. The Lord is God, and he has shone upon us.
R. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.


Alleluia: Is 55:6
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call him while he is near.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.


Gospel: Matthew 7:21, 24-27
Jesus said to his disciples: "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them shall be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, but it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them shall be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. And the rains descended, and the floods rose up, and the winds blew, and rushed upon that house, and it did fall, and great was its ruin.
