Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection - Thursday, July 25, 2024

Reading 1: 2 Cor 4:7-15
Resp: Ps 126:1bc-2ab, 2cd-3, 4-5, 6
Gospel: Matthew 20:20-28

Feast of Saint James, Apostle
Lectionary: 605

Reading 1: 2 Cor 4:7-15
Brothers and sisters: We hold this treasure in earthen vessels, so that what is sublime may be of the power of God, and not of us. In all things, we endure tribulation, yet we are not in anguish. We are constrained, yet we are not destitute. We suffer persecution, yet we have not been abandoned. We are thrown down, yet we do not perish. We ever carry around the mortification of Jesus in our bodies, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are ever handed over unto death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our mortal flesh.

Therefore, death is at work in us, and life is at work in you. But we have the same Spirit of faith. And just as it is written, “I believed, and for that reason I spoke,” so we also believe, and for that reason, we also speak. For we know that the One who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and will place us with you. Thus, all is for you, so that grace, abounding through many in thanksgiving, may abound to the glory of God.

Responsorial Psalm: Ps 126:1bc-2ab, 2cd-3, 4-5, 6
R. (5) Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we became like men comforted. Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy.
R. Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
R. Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
R. Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

Going they went and wept, casting their seeds. But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.
R. Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

Alleluia: See Jn 15:16
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I chose you from the world, to go and
bear fruit that will last, says the Lord.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel: Matthew 20:20-28
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and knelt before him to ask something of him. And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Declare that these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave, just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
