Reading 1 - A reading from the book of Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40):
Moses said to the people:
"Ask now of the days of old, before your time,
ever since God created man upon the earth;
ask from one end of the sky to the other:
Did anything so great ever happen before?
Was it ever heard of?
Did a people ever hear the voice of God
speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live?
Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself
from the midst of another nation,
by testings, by signs and wonders, by war,
with strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors,
all of which the LORD, your God,
did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
This is why you must now know,
and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God
in the heavens above and on earth below,
and that there is no other.
You must keep his statutes and commandments that I enjoin on you today,
that you and your children after you may prosper,
and that you may have long life on the land
which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."
Responsorial Psalm - (Psalm 33 "Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own" by Michel Guimont):

Re: Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own
Exult, you just, in the Lord;
Praise from the upright is fitting.
Blessed the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Re: Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own
See, the eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him,
Upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
And preserve them in spite of famine.
Re: Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own
Our soul waits for the Lord,
Who is our help and our shield.
May your kindness, O Lord, be upon us
Who have put our hope in you.
Re: Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own

Reading 2 - A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to Romans (Romans 8:14-17):
Brothers and sisters:
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
but you received a Spirit of adoption,
through whom we cry, “Abba, Father!”
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God,
and if children, then heirs,
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if only we suffer with him
so that we may also be glorified with him.
Alleluia: (Revelation 1:8)
From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdFRdkNO62k
R. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
to God who is, who was, and who is to come.
R. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel - A reading from the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew (Matthew 28:16-20):
The eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
